Working Conditions in Complementary and Integrative Healthcare Professions.
Objective: The study aimed to describe working conditions among complementary and integrative healthcare (CIH) providers, specifically acupuncturists, chiropractors, massage therapists, midwives, and naturopathic doctors.
Methods: We used cross-sectional Occupational Information Network data (2013-2021) for five CIH occupations. We examined means and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for 10 variables that represented positive conditions, ergonomic demands, psychosocial demands, and schedule demands. We compared CIH to conventional healthcare and non-healthcare occupations.
Results: CIH occupations had relatively high degrees of positive conditions, moderate degrees of psychosocial demands, and moderate hours/scheduling. Massage therapists, chiropractors, and acupuncturists reported more ergonomic hazards (eg, 1-5 scale where 5 is the highest, mean bending/twisting frequency for chiropractors is 3.43 [95% CI, 3.80-4.05] compared to 2.17 for midwives [95% CI, 1.97-2.36] and 1.96 for managers [95% CI, 1.42-2.51]).
Conclusions: CIH occupations generally had healthy working conditions, although ergonomic hazards were prominent.
