The Medicine and Art

Una serie de Talleres experimentales llevados a cabo en el Museo de Bellas Artes en la ciudad de Boston, están desarrollando una experiencia innovadora en la que se evalúa la sinergia de la #Medicina y el #Arte, a través de programas de formación y sensibilización para estudiantes de la Facultad de Medicina.

El programa tiene por objetivo promover la sensibilización de los estudiantes de Medicina acostumbrados a la experiencia reiterada de la muerte de los pacientes, circunstancia que tiende frecuentemente a desarrollar un carácter de desensibilización extrema en muchos profesionales que ejercen la Medicina. La propuesta del Museo en este programa pretende estimular en los estudiantes una reflexión acerca del modo en que el arte puede, efectivamente, causar un efecto sensibilizador e integrador a través de la experiencia estética.

Talleres de Arte para Médicos

Este programa, que continúa vigente en el Museo de Boston, proporciona a los participantes un espacio de reflexión para crear grupos de trabajo y que sus participantes puedan desarrollar sus herramientas de comunicación y expresión. El programa está dirigido no solamente a estudiantes residentes de medicina sino también a otros profesionales de la salud.

Varios participantes han expresado su sorpresa y entusiasmo ante los resultados obtenidos por su participación en el programa, señalando especialmente su efectividad para ayudarlos a conectar con sus emociones relacionadas específicamente con su profesión, como una oportunidad de reflexión profunda, con un cierto sentido liberador y terapéutico.

Humanización de la práctica médica

No sólo la experiencia estética ha resultado ser una herramienta eficaz en la re-conexión de la experiencia emotiva de los participantes profesionales con sus profesiones y sus vidas, sino que también se han implementado otras alternativas interesantes en el campo de la práctica terapéutica, para hacer posible la humanización de la profesión médica y sus practicantes.

Así por ejemplo, el humor como terapia está alcanzando un amplio reconocimiento en la práctica terapéutica en muchos ámbitos de la vida, especialmente en lo referente a la sensibilización de los profesionales de la medicina. Prácticas como las de los “doctores clown” que se iniciaron a finales de los años 80 en varios hospitales de los Estados Unidos, son hoy en día aceptadas y reutilizadas para ayudar a mejorar la relación médico-paciente.

La risa es sin duda una de las mejores estrategias para “romper el hielo” y facilitar el acercamiento y la comunicación entre las personas. En España hay diversos grupos organizados que utilizan estas terapias complementarias como recursos de sensibilización y acercamiento de la relación médico-paciente. Por ejemplo en Madrid se han organizado conferencias en el Hospital San Carlos sobre la risoterapia, gestionado por la Consejería de Sanidad de la Comunidad de Madrid.

Cada vez más profesionales de la medicina convencional integran en su práctica, sistemas médicos y terapias alternativas y complementarias, como la meditación mindfulness, el reiki, musicoterapia, arteterapia, varias de ellas ya están reconocidas por la OMS (Organización Mundial de la Salud) y reguladas en algunos países como técnicas de “sanación” terapéutica.

Este fenómeno de integración de prácticas complementarias en salud, desde el arte se está dando tanto en Europa,  como en muchos países de América.

Yoga to improve health and well-being

Clase de Yoga

Cochrane, como una red internacional independiente de investigadores, profesionales, pacientes, cuidadores y personas interesadas por la salud, desde la década de 1970 recopila y resume en forma de revisiones sistemáticas los mejores datos procedentes de investigaciones para ayudar a mejorar la toma de decisiones en materia sanitaria.

Cochrane ha generado, desde noviembre de 2017 y en base a la creciente cantidad de ensayos clínicos disponibles, un apartado específico sobre Yoga.

El yoga se originó hace miles de años en la India como una práctica física, mental y espiritual basada en la antigua filosofía védica, y está conectado con el Ayurveda, la medicina tradicional india. A lo largo del siglo XX, el reconocimiento del yoga ha aumentado más allá de las fronteras de la India, y se ha popularizado en todo el mundo como un sistema para mejorar el bienestar y la salud. Mientras que el yoga moderno a menudo se centra en posturas físicas y se concibe como un tipo de ejercicio, su práctica a menudo incorpora uno o más elementos espirituales o mentales que tradicionalmente forman parte del yoga, como la relajación, la concentración o la meditación. Por este motivo, el yoga se considera un ejercicio de cuerpo y mente.

Actualmente existen muchos tipos diferentes de escuelas de yoga, cada una con un énfasis y un enfoque práctico diferentes. Últimamente se ha extendido mucho la creencia de que algunas de estas prácticas de yoga podrían ayudar al tratamiento de enfermedades mentales o físicas, prevenirlas y mejorar la calidad de vida en general. Es por ello que se necesita información sobre los posibles daños y beneficios del yoga para la salud.

 

La colección especial de revisiones sistemáticas sobre yoga de la Biblioteca Cochrane se centra en revisiones que evalúan la efectividad del yoga para mejorar síntomas físicos y psíquicos, así como la calidad de vida, en varias afecciones. Esta colección se ha elaborado para recopilar las mejores pruebas disponibles sobre los efectos del yoga en la salud y ponerlas a disposición del público general, pacientes, profesionales sanitarios y otros responsables de la toma de decisiones, para informar las decisiones sobre el uso del yoga para mejorar la salud y el bienestar.

Esta colección especial ha sido recopilada por L. Susan Wieland del Grupo Cochrane de Medicina Complementaria e incluye revisiones sobre los siguientes temas:

Afecciones musculoesqueléticas

Salud de personas de edad avanzada y mejora del equilibrio

Enfermedades respiratorias

Cáncer (general)

Enfermedades cardiovasculares

Salud mental

Enfermedades neurológicas

Salud infantil (general)

Benchmarks for Training in Traditional Chinese Medicine

 View the PDF document

This document comprises benchmarks for training in traditional Chinese medicine.

In 2003, a WHO resolution (WHA56.31) on traditional medicine urged Member States, where appropriate, to formulate and implement national policies and regulations on traditional and complementary and alternative medicine to support their proper use. In 2009, the resolution WHA62.13 further urged Member States to consider, where appropriate, inclusion of traditional medicine in their national health systems and establishing systems for the qualification, accreditation or licensing of practitioners of traditional medicine. This document as one of the series of benchmarks for training for selected types of TM/CAM care is part of the implementation of the WHO resolutions.The benchmarks for training describe models of training for trainees with different backgrounds, and reflect what the community of practitioners in osteopathy regards to be reasonable practice when training professionals to practice traditional Chinese medicine, taking into consideration that consumer protection and patient safety are core to professional practice. This document is intended to:

  • Support countries in establishing systems for the qualification, accreditation or licensing of practitioners of traditional medicine;
  • Assist practitioners in upgrading their knowledge and skills in collaboration with providers of conventional care;
  • Facilitate better communication between providers of conventional and traditional care, as well as other health professionals, medical students and relevant researchers, through appropriate training programmes;
  • Support integration of traditional medicine into the national health system.

Thematic Structure for VHL TCIM

It groups the concepts, models, and evidence dossiers on TCIM. It includes the thematic structure and terminology used to organize the databases

Thematic Structure for the VHL MTCI, was developed by members of the MTCI Network for the Americas, taking into account the epistemological views on health, the Health Models, the glossaries of terms of international entities referring to the subject, as well as the Ministries of Health of different countries of the region. Likewise, we consulted documents, research, books and various tools, both specific to the MTCI area, and from other areas of knowledge such as sociology, medical anthropology, public health and also from the theories of systems of organization of information.

This process of broad reflection and debate allowed us to build a proposal to organize the documents in the databases, in an inclusive manner that responds to the themes of Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicines, and related practices.

Outline Thematic structure for VHL MTCI Database.

Introduction
This section brings information about the Thematic Structure applied in the compilation of contents in VHL TCIM for the Americas and is organized in macro-categories that break down into themes and subthemes.

We will review the basic concepts that were considered for its design and explain how documents were organized and how the search strategies were put together.

What is a Thematic Structure?
The thematic structure is a tool associated to systems to organize information/documents. It is used, here, to put together and classify content and information in VHL initiatives, such as the VHL TCIM for the Americas.

One of the objectives of the Thematic Structure is to guide librarians towards an organized entry of documents in the database. It also enables easier document identification by means of search strategies used by researchers to access the VHL TCIM collection.

Moreover, the Thematic Structure facilitates reviewing the existing terminology in the area and enables the development of related proposals for the DeCS – Health Science Descriptors. For such aim, the Thematic Structure should have ordering axes that are as including as possible, so that themes and subthemes can be organized.

The concept of TCIM that we are using is wide and inclusive, and encompasses all traditional medicines/healthcare systems, and other recognized medical systems, as well as health practices and therapies that are generally understood within TCI Medicine. Definitions by WHO, international organizations, and of Ministries of Health of Americas countries were used to understand the themes.

The Thematic Structure does not intend to propose definitions or concepts in TCIM.

We understand that the epistemological and conceptual reflections about TCIM are important. More information on the topic can be found in the Section Conceptual Models in TCIM.

What is structured vocabulary
  • Structured vocabulary is a collection of terms organized according to a methodology, in which it is possible to specify relations between concepts with the objective of facilitating access to information.
  • The vocabulary is used as a kind of filter between the language used by the author and the field terminology, and can also be considered a search assistant, since it helps users refine, expand, or enrich their search by providing more objective results.

(See more in DeCS).

Methodology used
  • Literature review on TCIM classification.
  • Revision of definitions from the WHO, and International Bodies and Ministries of Health of the Region countries.
  • Literature review on information organization systems.
  • Virtual meetings and collective work among network members.

Design process
The Thematic Structure for the VHL TCIM was developed by members of the TCIM Network for the Americas, having in mind epistemological approaches in health, health models, glossaries of terms issued by International organizations regarding the theme, as well as by the Ministries of Health and relevant Institutions of different countries in the region. It also included documents, research, books, and several tools, both specific of the TCIM area and from other areas of knowledge, such as sociology, medical anthropology, public health, as well as theories from information organization systems.

This process of extensive reflection and debate enabled the building of a proposal to organize documents in a database in an inclusive manner that responds to the thematic of Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine and related practices.
Themes that were common or were present in several of the different medical systems and therapies were identified. These were defined as cross-sectional themes to be intercepted with the several themes and subthemes in an interactive and extensive manner.

Macro-categories and categories were defined using the most similar aspects, as the ordering axis for the organization of TCI Medicine, bearing in mind the proposals of several authors and institutions specialized in the theme. It was consensus among Network Members during the creation of the Thematic Structure to use descriptions of Macro-category contents to respect the variation in TCIM definitions by each country’s health model and norms.

The cross-sectional themes that are being considered in the Thematic Structure are: Strengthening Health, Health Promotion, Preventing Diseases, Health Education, Health Research, Health Paradigms, Health Spiritualism, Public Policies and Norms, Public Health, Health Interculturality, and the categories of elements of each medical system.

Thematic Structure for VHL TCIM
The Thematic Structure comprises three macro-categories that are divided into themes and subthemes, and two sets that group the Elements of Medical Systems and Cross-Sectional Themes.

See the structure below or in the PDF document.

Traditional Health Systems

This macro-category includes documents of medical systems, health systems, or health models used by a town, community, or country, which obey their own cosmovision or paradigm, and have their own medical doctrine, diagnostic and treatment methods, associated to the total sum of knowledges, techniques, and procedures based on the theories, beliefs, and experiences of the different cultures.

Themes
Traditional African Medicines
Traditional European Medicines
Traditional Oceania Medicines
Traditional Asian Medicines

  • Traditional Medicines of East Asia
  • Ayurveda Medicine

  • Tibetan Medicine

Traditional Medicines of las Americas

  • North-American Traditional Medicine
  • Andean Traditional Medicine
  • Mesoamerican Traditional Medicine
  • Amazon Traditional Medicine
  • Afro-American Traditional Medicine
  • Rom Communities Traditional Medicine

Complex, Non-Traditional Medical Systems
This macro-category includes documents of complex, non-traditional medical systems, considered part of the Complementary and Integrative Medicine group that count on a body of knowledge that has the following characteristics/elements: cosmovision-medical doctrine, morphology, own diagnostic and therapeutic methods that are not connected to traditions of specific peoples or countries.
Themes

Homeopathy
Naturopathy
Neurotherapeutics Medicine
Anthroposophical Medicine
Osteopathy

Therapeutic Methods (Therapies)

This macro-category includes documents that are products of research or related to complementary/alternative health practices, therapies and methods used in healthcare and in preventing diseases, and which do not feature the characteristics/elements of a complex/traditional medical system. Some of these therapeutic methods may be part of a traditional or complex system.

Themes

Biological Therapies

  • Trophotherapy – Medicinal Plants (Phytotherapy) – Hydrotherapy – Geotherapy – Termalism – Ozone Therapy – Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy – Orthomolecular – Apitherapy – Hirudotherapy (leech therapy) – Urine Therapy – Hemotherapy – Peloid therapy – Aromatherapy – Homotoxicology

Manual Therapies

  • Osteopathy – Chiropractic care – Shiatzu – Massage – Lymphatic drainage – Kinesiology – Reflection therapy – Feldenkrais Methods – EICIWO

  • Suction cups – Reiki – Therapeutic touch – Floral therapy – Magnetotherapy – Bioenergetics – Music therapy – Chromotherapy – Cristal therapy – Filter therapies

Body-Mind Therapies

  • TPsychokinetic – Meditation – Hypnosis – Bio-decoding – Neurolinguistics programming – Holotropic Breathwork – Biofeedback – Laughter Therapy – Yoga – Relaxation – Family constellations – Arts Therapy
Integrative Medicine

The documents related to integrative medicine and integrative practices in health will be included in this macro-category.

Themes

Under development

Medical Systems Elements
The complex medical systems in TCI Medicine are supported in other rationalities and paradigms, different from the dominant hegemonic paradigm. TCI Medicine adopts a vital paradigm where what matter is to strengthen health in all its spheres, not only in treating the disease. Therefore, its doctrine body has its own elements: medical doctrine, own vital dynamics and morphology, diagnostic dimension, and specific therapeutic methods.
Themes

Cosmovision
Medical doctrine
Morphology
Diagnostic method
Therapeutic method

Cross-sectional themes
These are aspects parallel to the macro-categories and common to several of the Medical Systems and Therapies of the TCI Medicine group. These cross-sectional themes expand the understanding of the several aspects that TCI Medicine brings to the process of promoting health and preventing diseases, taking care of diseases, and intermeddling in all aspects of health. When these relevant aspects are taken into consideration, we can detect cross-sectional themes to the macro-categories and can enable them to be intercepted in the several search strategies.
Themes

Health paradigms
Health spiritualization
Health education
Health promotion and strengthening
Disease prevention
Public policies and norms
Popular health practices

Promotion of the VHL Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine to expand collaboration

congreso-baltimore

The VHL TCIM Americas was launched on March 12 by the Director of PAHO/WHO and the Director of BIREME, within the framework of the 1stInternational Congress of Integrative, Complementary and Public Health, organized by the Ministry of Health of Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro. Recently, this VHL was presented and promoted by BIREME/PAHO/WHO in two important events held in the United States, thanks to the initiative coordinated by the Health Services and Access Unit, and the Office of Equity, Gender and Cultural Diversity of PAHO/WHO.

The first event was the Webinar “Traditional and Complementary Medicine in Primary Health Care: 40 years after Alma-Ata”, held on May 8, 2018, with the purpose of examining the role of Traditional and Complementary Medicines in the APS, in the context of the 40th anniversary of the Alma-Ata Declaration, the Strategy of Universal Health Care and the WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy 2014-2023.

Dr. Anna Coates, head of the Office of Equity, Gender and Cultural Diversity of PAHO/WHO, who made the opening speech, remarked that “the strengthening of efforts to recognize ancestral knowledge and traditional and complementary medicine is key to combating ethnic inequities and thus being able to move towards Universal Health. Referring to the VHL TCIM Americas, she noted that “improving access to knowledge and experience in traditional medicine is part of these long-awaited efforts to move towards inclusion and equity”. This is why Traditional and Complementary Medicine was included as a central component of the intercultural approach in the PAHO/WHO Ethnicity and Health Policy, that seeks to guarantee the inclusion of indigenous peoples, afro-descendants, Romani people and members of other ethnic groups, and urges Member Stated to consider the connection between ethnicity and health, and to promote an intercultural approach for advancing towards Universal Health. Likewise, the Universal Health Strategy of PAHO recognized that challenges such as respect for traditional medicine affect the quality of health care.

The VHL TCIM Americas was developed with the aim of contributing to this purpose. Dr. Diego González, Director of BIREME/PAHO/WHO and Verônica Abdala, Manager of Products and Information Services of BIREME presented VHL Americas at the event. This VHL is a virtual space that draws on the work of the TCIM Network for the Americas, which seeks to expand and facilitate access to knowledge and to increase and improve the quality of research in the area, fundamental axes for advancing towards Universal Health and the inclusion of all peoples.

Three other presentations completed the agenda of the Webinar: “The role of integrative and complementary practices in Primary Health Care in Brazil”, by Daniel Miele Amado, National Coordinator of Integrative and Complementary Health Practices, Ministry of Health of Brazil; “The importance of Traditional Medicine for ethnic diversity in the Americas”, by Dr. Vivian Camacho Hinojosa, member of the High Level Commission 40 years of Alma-Ata, PAHO; and “Competences in integrative health for professionals in Primary Health Care”, by Dr. Benjamin Kliegler, National Director of the Comprehensive Health Coordination Center, Office of Patient-Centered Care and Cultural Transformation of the US Veterans’ Health Administration. The moderator for the Webinar was Dr. Hernán Luque, Advisor, PAHO/WHO Health Services and Access Unit.

The second event was the International Congress on Integrative Medicine & Health, held in Baltimore, from May 8 to 11, and organized by the Academic Consortium of Medicine and Integrative Health of the United States. The Congress brought together approximately one thousand participants from 30 countries, mainly researchers and professionals of diverse profiles interested in research in this area.

The mandates, conceptual frameworks and initiatives of PAHO/WHO on the subject, including the VHL TCIM, were presented in a Panel of the Congress by Daniel Gallego, consultant of the Health Services and Access Unit (HSS/HS/PAHO). Ricardo Ghelman, President of the Brazilian Academic Consortium on Integrative Medicine and Daniel Miele Amado, from the Ministry of Health of Brazil, both strategic partners of the VHL TCIM, presented their respective institutional initiatives and their articulation with the VHL TCIM. Likewise, thanks to the support of HSS/HS/PAHO, the VHL TCIM was promoted and demonstrated in a stand in the exhibition hall throughout the event, where Verônica Abdala (BIREME/PAHO/WHO) and Natalia Sofía Aldana (Consultant of the VHL TCIM project) had the opportunity to explore new collaborations.

Both events confirmed the importance of the VHL TCIM Americas and of the work that is being developed with the collaboration of BIREME/PAHO/WHO and the support of the technical units of PAHO/WHO. Participants of the events highlighted the results of the collaborative work, articulated in the short period of time that the project has been underway.

According to Verônica Abdala, Manager of Services and Information Sources of BIREME/PAHO/WHO, “we have come a long way, but there is still a lot to do. The VHL TCIM has ambitious plans for expansion and development of its various sections and services, including the promotion of the quality of research on the subject, especially in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as the development of new content such as information for self-care and synthesis of evidence in TCIM. These are ambitious objectives, which require financial resources, expansion of collaboration and strengthening of the Network”.
