To assess and compare first- and third-year Czech pharmacy students' attitudes toward CAM, CAM use, CAM evidence, recommending CAM to patients, and including CAM in the pharmacy curricula.
The CAM Health Belief Questionnaire (CHBQ) was translated from English to Czech and administered to 250 first-year and 187 third-year students.
The students' mean CHBQ score was 48.5, affirming positive attitudes toward CAM. Vitamins, herbs, massage, and relaxation were the most commonly used therapies among students. Czech students reported significantly low use of evidence-based resources on CAM. Ninety percent of the pharmacy students surveyed would recommend CAM and 89% believed pharmacists should be knowledgeable of CAM. Ninety-one percent of first-year vs 78% of third-year students supported CAM education (p = 0.01).
Czech students have positive attitudes about CAM, but are less likely to access evidence-based information. They agree pharmacists should be educated about CAM.
评估并比较捷克药学专业一年级和三年级学生对补充替代医学（CAM）的态度、CAM的使用情况、CAM的证据、向患者推荐CAM以及在药学课程中纳入CAM的情况。
《补充替代医学健康信念问卷》（CHBQ）从英文翻译成捷克文，并对250名一年级学生和187名三年级学生进行了调查。
学生的CHBQ平均得分为48.5，表明对CAM持积极态度。维生素、草药、按摩和放松是学生中最常用的疗法。捷克学生报告称，他们对基于证据的补充替代医学资源的使用率极低。接受调查的药学专业学生中有90%会推荐CAM，89%的学生认为药剂师应该了解CAM。91%的一年级学生和78%的三年级学生支持补充替代医学教育（p = 0.01）。
捷克学生对补充替代医学持积极态度，但获取基于证据的信息的可能性较小。他们同意应该对药剂师进行补充替代医学方面的教育。
