Book Synopsis Considerations for Implementing a Pediatric Integrative Medical Service by : Izabela Bienko

Download or read book Considerations for Implementing a Pediatric Integrative Medical Service written by Izabela Bienko. This book was released on 2014. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is increasingly in demand and utilized by the public, specifically by families and their children who are being cared for by current mainstream in-hospital services. Integrative medicine (IM) is a strategy by which conventional health care is attempting to address the use of CAM and explore considerations to implement a pediatric integrative medical (PIM) service. This study will add the otherwise unexplored perspectives of CAM practitioners and hospital administrators to current literature. Semi-structured interviews with 10 CAM practitioners and 4 administrators were conducted. A qualitative comparative content analysis explored considerations for CAM integration in a pediatric hospital, including varied attitudes; levels of understanding and experiences with CAM; communication between professionals; expectations; skepticism and resistance to change; gaining knowledge about CAM; opposing health care ideologies; adapting to different health care environments; funding; safety; redistribution of care; therapeutic milieu; and patient centered care. There is a reservation toward IM in pediatric hospitals, despite generally positive personal and professional experiences and attitudes towards CAM. The realities and challenges of IM are identified. Implications for inclusion of key stakeholder perspectives are discussed in the context of IM for pediatric patients.

Book Synopsis Integrative Pediatrics by : Timothy Culbert

Download or read book Integrative Pediatrics written by Timothy Culbert. This book was released on 2010-04-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is ample evidence that children and adolescents in large numbers are actively using integrative (complementary and alternative) therapies. Various studies now indicate that over 50% of pediatricians surveyed would refer a patient for integrative therapy, and they would welcome more natural therapies for children provided they were safe and effective. However, there has been little training for pediatricians in this area. Integrative Pediatrics addresses these issues and provides guidelines for pediatricians, parents, and general audiences in a balanced, evidence-based manner. In this volume in the Weil Integrative Medicine Library series, the authors describe a rational and evidence-based approach to the integrative therapy of childhood disorders and well-child care, integrating the principles of alternative and complementary therapies into the principles and practice of conventional pediatrics. The authors examine what works and what doesn't and offer practical guidelines for physicians to incorporate integrative medicine into their practice and how to advise patients and their parents on reasonable and effective therapies. The text also covers areas of controversy and identifies areas of uncertainty where future research is needed. Chapters also cite the best available evidence for both safety and efficacy of all therapies discussed. The series editor is Andrew Weil, MD, Professor and Director of the Program of Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizon. Dr. Weil's program was the first academic program in the US and he is the major name in integrative medicine in the US, and well-known around the world. His program's stated goal is "to combine the best ideas and practices of conventional and alternative medicine into cost effective treatments without embracing alternative practices uncritically."

Download or read book A Guide to Integrative Pediatrics for the Healthcare Professional written by Sanghamitra M. Misra. This book was released on 2014-06-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the rise in chronic medical conditions--and the growing use of complementary and alternative therapies--among pediatric and adolescent patients, healthcare practitioners are taking a serious look at pediatric integrative medicine (PIM). Although it dovetails with current concepts of preventive medicine, wellness, and patient control, PIM is still an evolving field with its own particular challenges and opportunities. A Guide to Integrative Pediatrics for the Healthcare Professional explores its subject through the more familiar lens of integrative medicine. This concise comprehensive resource synthesizes the knowledge base on a range of therapies commonly associated with PIM, such as acupuncture, herbal remedies, clinical hypnosis, yoga, homeopathy, and therapeutic massage, with findings on their effective use with children. Case examples illustrate uses of PIM modalities with allopathic medicine to treat young patients at various developmental stages, and the authors pinpoint safety and appropriateness concerns, answer licensing questions, and note clinical areas requiring further study. The wide-ranging information contained here will help support interest in PIM at the research, training, and practice levels. Features of the Guide: An introduction to basic concepts in PIM. Trends in IM/PIM education. A survey of complementary and alternative therapies, including biologically-based, body-based, mind-body, energy-based, and alternative whole systems. Current evidence for IM in treating common pediatric conditions. The future of integrative pediatrics. References and links for further information. Offering a front-row seat to the continued expansion of the field, A Guide to Integrative Pediatrics for the Healthcare Professional is a salient text not only for pediatricians but for all healthcare practitioners tasked with improving children's wellbeing. “/p>
