Abstract

Introduction: The complementary therapies are acquiring bigger protagonism. The World Health Organization recommends them to the nurses like a strategy to reach the objective of “Health for everyone". The objective of our work is to study as the nursing students of the University of Jaén register and develop these therapies during its assistance practices. Methodology: A descriptive study. We extract the complementary therapies registered in 120 processes of the nursing students and we also study their execution in the clinical practices. Next we have included these performances inside the corresponding interventions of the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). Results: 23 are the activities of the students that we could classify inside the complementary therapies. Discussion: we compare our work with the studies of two authors which have analyzed the level of the students' knowledge regarding these methods in two nursing schools in Sao Paulo and in the Faculty of Health Sciences in Zaragoza. Conclusion: the complementary therapies executed by the students are accessible, of intuitive character and they are not based in very specific techniques. The NIC includes interventions based on these methods, but many others could be included.
