Coming out of the Integrative Oncology Comfort Zone: Addressing Healthcare Providers' Wartime‐Related Concerns
HCPs with war-related emotional/spiritual and physical QoL-related concerns showed significant improvement following the IM intervention. This was more significant among those reporting ESKs for their two major and emotional/spiritual concerns, with pain scores improving similarly in both groups. Future research needs to explore specific and non-specific effects of IM intervention provided by IO practitioners working outside their "comfort zone", fostering collaboration between IM and mental health providers to address HCP wellbeing and resilience during a time of national crisis.
