The majority of participants were female (69%), nurses\/midwives (61%) and aged between 20 and 50 years old (76%). Eighty-three percent of respondents considered A\/A \u2018clearly alternative\u2019 medicine or \u2018neither mainstream nor alternative\u2019. Eighty-one percent would encourage patients to use acupressure for PONV if it was offered at the hospital. Previous personal use of A\/A was the key factor influencing attitudes and openness to clinical use. The key barriers to implementation were perceived lack of evidence and lack of qualified providers and time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Hospital-based healthcare professionals strongly supported the evidence-based use of A\/A for PONV despite considering the therapy to be non-mainstream and having limited A\/A education or history of personal use, providing a positive context for an acupressure implementation study.
