Are There Any Challenges in Integrating TCM into Nursing?
While integrating TCM into nursing practice offers many benefits, it also presents some challenges:
Lack of Standardization: TCM practices can vary widely, making it difficult to ensure consistent and safe application. Limited Research: Although evidence is growing, more high-quality research is needed to validate the efficacy of many TCM therapies. Regulatory Issues: Nurses must navigate varying regulations regarding the use of TCM in different regions. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Effective integration requires strong communication and collaboration between conventional healthcare providers and TCM practitioners.
