ABSTRACT
The field of complementary and alternative medicine
(CAM) is relatively new to Western health care and scientific
research. The American public is embracing the use
of CAM, and consequently, health care professionals will
have to integrate these therapies into their professional
practice. With the addition of basic CAM components to
the newest NCLEX-RN® blueprint, nursing education
programs at all levels must incorporate CAM into their
curricula. There are challenges to be faced with the implementation
of added content, but nurse educators have
successfully faced these challenges in the past. Specific
strategies for integrating CAM topics into nursing curricula
are discussed.
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM),
also referred to as integrative medicine, is a new
clinical and scientific field in the practice of Western
medicine. The use of CAM by the public has increased dramatically
in recent years, reflecting changes in the values
and needs of society. As the public embraces therapies that
modern medicine considers “unorthodox,” there is a growing
need to educate health care providers about the alternative
treatments being used with increasing frequency.
To provide high-quality care to a public with changing
views of health promotion and disease treatment, nurses
must be familiar with consumers’ views and expectations.
