Ratings of person-centred care were higher for consultations with CM practitioners than for medical doctors. Patients of naturopaths reported the highest means for perceived person-centred care. Variation in participant ratings for different items between professions indicate nuance in consultation experiences across different CM professions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusions:<\/strong><br \/>\nPerson-centred care appears characteristic of CM consultation, which may reflect holistic philosophies. Variations in patient experiences suggest diverse practices across CM professions. CM practitioners may present a resource of person-centred care for addressing unmet needs of individuals with chronic conditions, and reducing the health burden associated with rising rates of chronic conditions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sci-hub.tw\/10.1016\/j.ctim.2020.102518\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read full paper<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perceptions of person-centred care amongst individuals with chronic conditions who consult complementary medicine practitioners, by Hope Foley, Amie Steel, Jon Adams in Complementary Therapies in Medicine Vol 52, August 2020, 102518 [doi.org\/10.1016\/j.ctim.2020.102518] &nbsp; Highlights Chronic illness care in complementary medicine &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/perceptions-of-person-centred-care-amongst-individuals-with-chronic-conditions-who-consult-complementary-medicine-practitioners\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[6157,400,2138,6158,6156,1773,6159],"class_list":["post-27274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-amie-steel","tag-chronic-illness","tag-complementary-medicine","tag-hope-foley","tag-jon-adam","tag-patient-satisfaction","tag-person-centred-care"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5qkYK-75U","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27274"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27274\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27636,"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27274\/revisions\/27636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
