Development and validation of the multi-dimensional questionnaire of scientifically unsubstantiated beliefs
2018, Personality and Individual DifferencesCitation Excerpt :For example, a tendency to conspiracist thinking is associated with non-compliance with health care for HIV/AIDS (Bogart, Wagner, Galvan, & Banks, 2010), and a withdrawal from cooperation with security measures (Bartlett & Miller, 2010). Belief in alternative medicine can lead to inappropriate health behaviours (Perry & Dowrick, 2000; White, Resch, & Ernst, 1997), while belief in demonic possession can result in violence against individuals perceived to be afflicted (http://www.livescience.com/37274-toddler-exorcism-death.html). Generally, belief in scientifically unsubstantiated phenomena discourages appreciation of evidence, thereby harming an individual's ability to assess current threats and concerns, or to evaluate the importance of initiatives such as testing for cancer in at-risk groups (French & Stone, 2014, p171; Sherriff, 2010).
Patient experience of acupuncture provision in a GP practice
2012, Complementary Therapies in Clinical PracticeCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, acupuncture has been shown to reduce prescription and referral costs.9 Significant support has been demonstrated among GPs for acupuncture provision on the NHS yet provision of acupuncture in GP surgeries falls considerably short of demand.10,11 Although no data has been published evaluating traditional acupuncture services in a GP setting, audits of acupuncture provision in primary care have reported favourable conclusions.12–19
A survey of health professionals' views about integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture into NHS Scotland
2012, European Journal of Integrative MedicineCitation Excerpt :This compares with 25% (24/96) of GPs who had received and 12% (11/94) who practiced acupuncture in the present study. GPs’ training in acupuncture varied between 6% (8/131) as reported in 2000 [24] and 7% (3/43) in 2003 [4] compared with 11% (11/96) here, a difference that may reflect an increase over time. It is interesting to note that in this study about twice the proportion of GPs than other doctors were involved in aspects of acupuncture, possibly reflecting their higher level of interest within a general practice setting.
Delivering shiatsu in a primary care setting: Benefits and challenges
2012, Complementary Therapies in Clinical PracticeCitation Excerpt :Ninety percent of complementary medicine provision in the UK is purchased privately,8 thus limiting access by poorer citizens. Where complementary practitioners do work in general practices, these are predominantly in affluent places.9 A ‘gradual increase’ has been reported in the number of Primary Care Organisations (including more deprived areas) offering limited access to complementary medicine, citing equality of access as an aim of wider provision.10
