Objective:
to demonstrate prevalence of graduate courses taken by nurses who have training in Integrative and Complementary Health Practices (ICHPs).
Methods:
a cross-sectional study, with data collection through a virtual questionnaire, with descriptive analysis.
Results:
a total of 1,154 nurses participated. It was found that the current scenario is predominantly composed of women (89.49%), with specialization or residency (57.45%), who dedicate 1 to 2 hours per week to the application of ICHPs, and 86.74% had a graduate degree in any area of knowledge. A significant association was identified between the possible presence of training in ICHPs, the presence of graduate degrees (p<0.001) and the level of graduate courses (p<0.001).
Conclusions:
a linear trend of increasing training in ICHPs was provided as the level of graduate degrees increased.
