Abstract | There has been an increasing popularity in CAM globally. Allied healthcare professionals are
one of the targets for consultation of recommendation of CAM by patients. Therefore, it is
necessary to identify the CAM usage and recommendation pattern of allied healthcare
professionals so that professionals training institutions could decide the suitability for
involvement of CAM knowledge into courses. This study evaluated a series of factors which
might contribute to differences in CAM usage and recommendation by allied healthcare
professionals. One hundred and sixteen and 219 healthcare professionals from Hong Kong
and the United States were surveyed on demographic data, personal usage and professional
recommendation of CAM. Results revealed that 39% of healthcare professionals in Hong
Kong and 91% in the US used CAM. 19% of professionals in Hong Kong and 70% in the US
have recommended CAM to patients. In both places, around three fourth of the participants
(HK: 82.3%, US: 71.2%) reported that with inadequate knowledge of CAM. The results
highlighted the necessity for further education and training of allied healthcare professionals
with regards to CAM use. |
