An exploratory cross-sectional survey of 50 clinical practitioners across 17 medical specialties found that while 46% believed psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) research was relevant to patient treatment, only 22% used PNI-based interventions, and both physician age and professional experience were identified as determinants of utilization.
Participants reported on their awareness and utilization of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI)-based interventions. More than half reported a basic understanding of PNI principles, but knowledge of practical applications was less pronounced. Both age and professional experience were identified as determinants of PNI utilization. The moderately sized, possibly non-generalizable sample limits the transferability of findings, and no clinical outcome data were reported.
