ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To determine if increased accessibility to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) increases the usage of CAM interventions.METHODS:
A prospective pre-post study with a "run-in" design in a hospital with two inpatient rehabilitation floors was used. Data were analyzed with SAS v9.4.RESULTS:
CAM use before implementation was 2.8 (1.0); after implementation, 3.1 (0.56).CONCLUSION:
Greater access to CAM materials did not significantly increase their use (P = .233). Aromatherapy was used more after increased availability, but heat and cold application decreased. Nurses valued CAM even though independent practice was not fully supported.
