Israeli Nurses' Attitudes to the Holistic Approach to Health and Their Use of Complementary and Alternative Therapies

Conclusions: Biomedical and holistic approaches are perceived by nurses to coexist within nursing professional boundaries and form a broad basis for optimal health care. Nurses’ attitudes to the holistic approach appear to promote recommendation and/or use of CAM in practice. More training in CAM should be offered in nursing educational frameworks and research should continue to establish evidence for CAM’s effectiveness.
