目标
过去 20 年来，美国人口对补充和替代医学 (CAM) 的使用显着增加。为了最大限度地提高患者从神经外科手术中的恢复，神经外科医生必须了解 CAM 疗法的益处和潜在的不良并发症。该调查的目的是评估华盛顿州神经外科医生协会 (WSAN) 成员中神经外科患者当前使用 CAM 的模式以及神经外科医生对 CAM 疗法的了解。
方法
WANS 的成员于 2005 年接受了调查。调查通过电子邮件发送，数据是使用在线调查工具 Catalyst WebQ 匿名收集的。
结果
大多数受访者 (79%) 表示，他们的神经外科实践≥75% 是成年人。针灸、草药、按摩疗法、祈祷和瑜伽是患者使用或与神经外科医生讨论的最常见的 CAM 治疗方法。百分之五十 (50%) 的神经外科医生在同事中讨论了针灸的使用。关于祈祷和灵性，38% 的接受调查的神经外科医生表示，≥25% 的患者透露他们为自己的健康祈祷； 42% 表示灵性和祈祷可能会影响神经外科手术的结果； 38% 表示他们为患者祈祷。总体而言，63% 的接受调查的神经外科医生表示 CAM 治疗在神经外科中发挥作用。
结论
CAM 的使用可能会影响神经外科护理；灵性和祈祷的作用应该进一步探讨。由于 CAM 的利用无处不在，因此公开讨论和熟悉 CAM 治疗在神经外科领域变得越来越重要。
OBJECTIVES
Use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) by the U.S. population increased significantly in the past 2 decades. To maximize a patient's recovery from a neurosurgical procedure, it is critical that neurosurgeons be aware of the benefits and potential adverse complications of CAM therapies. The survey's purpose was to assess the current patterns of CAM utilization by neurosurgery patients and neurosurgeon knowledge of CAM therapies among Washington State Association of Neurological Surgeons (WSANS) members.
METHODS
Members of the WSANS were surveyed in 2005. The survey was sent via e-mail and the data were anonymously collected using an online survey tool, Catalyst WebQ.
RESULTS
The majority of responses (79%) stated that their neurosurgery practice was > or =75% adults. Acupuncture, herbs, massage therapy, prayer, and yoga were the most common CAM treatments patients used or discussed with their neurosurgeon. Fifty percent (50%) of neurosurgeons discussed the use of acupuncture among their colleagues. Concerning prayer and spirituality, 38% of the surveyed neurosurgeons stated that > or =25% of their patients have disclosed that they pray for their health; 42% stated that spirituality and prayer may affect neurosurgery outcome; and 38% stated that they pray for their patients. Overall, 63% of surveyed neurosurgeons stated that CAM treatments have a role in neurosurgery.
CONCLUSIONS
The use of CAM may influence neurosurgical care; and the role of spirituality and prayer should be further explored. Because CAM utilization is ubiquitous, open discussion and familiarity with CAM treatments are becoming increasingly important in the field of neurosurgery.
