Abstract

Background: The use of complementary therapies in the general population is increasing, so it is necessary to understand the training that health professionals receive in this type of therapy in their training plans, as they are often the primary source of information for patients. Our aim was to investigate Spanish universities that offer subjects on complementary therapies in their nursing degree programs.

Methods: This study is an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study. For this purpose, we used a document published on the website of the Ministry of Universities as the working document. Additionally, a literature search was conducted up to September 2023 in the PubMed database, along with reverse searches.

Results: Out of a total of 62 universities, only 16 (29%) offer a subject related to this type of therapy, 27.5% (11) are public universities and 22.7% (5) are private universities, most of them being optional subjects.

Conclusions: The training content on complementary care in nursing degree programs in Spanish universities is scarce, highlighting the potential benefit of expanding and promoting it, in line with the recommendations of the World Health Organization.

西班牙大学护理教育中的补充和替代疗法 (CAT)。

背景：补充疗法在普通人群中的使用率越来越高，因此有必要了解医疗专业人员在其培训计划中接受此类疗法培训的情况，因为他们往往是患者的主要信息来源。我们的目的是调查在护理学位课程中开设补充疗法科目的西班牙大学：本研究是一项观察性、描述性、横断面研究。为此，我们使用了大学部网站上发布的一份文件作为工作文件。此外，我们还在 PubMed 数据库中进行了截至 2023 年 9 月的文献检索以及反向检索：在总共 62 所大学中，只有 16 所大学（29%）开设了与此类疗法相关的科目，其中 27.5%（11 所）为公立大学，22.7%（5 所）为私立大学，大部分为选修科目：结论：西班牙大学护理学位课程中有关辅助治疗的培训内容很少，这表明，根据世界卫生组织的建议，扩大和推广辅助治疗可能会带来益处。
