P05.43. Meta-ethnography: the perspective of patients choosing alternative and complementary medicine regarding individualized medicine and integrative care

چکیده
Purpose Personalized medicine in the days of genetic research is seen as molecular biologic specification in individuals, not as individualized care oriented to patients needs in the sense of person-centered medicine. Yet the question can be raised whether this focus can ameliorate health care needs in view of the invested resources. Studies suggest that patients often miss authentically patientcentred care and individual physician-patient interaction and therefore decide to choose complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). By means of a meta-ethnography this project explored patients’ views about individualized medicine and described the patients’ perspectives of integrative and person-centred services.
