Nurses trained in integrative health practices often have more flexible jobs and autonomy. This highlights the need for institutional support and policies to expand access to such training for healthcare professionals.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Integrative Health Practices
- Public Health Policy
Background:
- Integrative health practices are increasingly recognized for their potential benefits.
- Understanding the factors influencing nurse training in these practices is crucial for healthcare development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between nurses' training in integrative practices and their specific work situations in Brazil.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive, multicenter survey was conducted with 1,154 nurses across Brazil.
- Data was collected via an online questionnaire from June 2021 to January 2022.
- Statistical analyses included frequency, association, trend, and Poisson regression tests (p≤0.05).
Main Results:
- 43.5% of nurses reported training in integrative practices, with higher prevalence among women, postgraduates, religious professionals, and those in the South.
- Self-employed nurses or those with less formal employment showed a higher likelihood of training (RP=1.59).
- Training was associated with employment type, legal status, and working hours, with self-employment without social security increasing likelihood (RP=1.80).
Conclusions:
- Training in integrative practices correlates with more autonomous and flexible professional roles for nurses.
- Findings suggest a need for institutional incentives and public policies to enhance access to integrative practice training.
