Most nurses (77.5%) discussed complementary therapies with patients and 91.8% believed nurses should have some understanding of the area. One‐third did not recommend complementary therapies and there was a lack of overall consensus as to whether these therapies should be integrated into nursing practice. Nurses with training in complementary therapies held more positive views than those without. Conclusion: Nurses were generally supportive of patients’ interest in complementary therapies, although their primary concern was safety of the patient. Despite broad acceptance that nurses should have a basic understanding of complementary therapies, there was a lack of consensus about recommendation, integration into nursing practice and referral. Further research should explore how nurses can maintain safe, patient‐centred care in the evolving pluralistic healthcare system.]]> Thu 15 Sep 2022 14:15:36 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43315 Thu 15 Sep 2022 14:15:35 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28473 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:34 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27656 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:38:51 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29156 n = 96) or a general practitioner (GP) (n = 74) for their tiredness or fatigue rather than a midwife (n = 56). A substantial number of women sought help from a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioner for sleeping problems (33%) or tiredness/fatigue (28%). Discussion: Sleeping problems and/or tiredness or fatigue is reported by a reasonable percentage of pregnant women, and women obtain assistance from conventional and CAM practitioners for their symptoms, but not all seek help. Given the serious implications of untreated sleep- and fatigue-related symptoms for mother and baby, this area of research deserves and requires more attention.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:35:47 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30946 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:41 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41278 Mon 01 Aug 2022 10:17:39 AEST ]]>
