AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate and compare nursing and medical students' attitudes and knowledge about complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). BACKGROUND: Despite increased popularity of the use of complementary and alternative medicine, it is not included in nursing and medicine schools' curricula in many countries. DESIGN: A cross-sectional design was used. METHOD: This study's research population included 972 students who were educated at a school of nursing and a faculty of medicine during the academic year 2006-2007. The study used a questionnaire the researchers prepared as data collection form. Pearson chi-square test was used to observe the differences between nursing and medical students. A p-value <0.05 was accepted statistically significant. RESULTS: The population was 49.1% nursing students and 50.9% medical students. Of the nursing students, 57.8% agreed with the statements that complementary and alternative medicine modalities should be integrated into clinical practice, 61.3% agreed for curriculum. Of the medical school students, 32.6% agreed for clinical practice and 37.9% for curriculum. The nursing students had sufficient knowledge of mostly massage and imagery; and medical students had sufficient knowledge of mostly diet therapy, vitamins and prayer. CONCLUSIONS: The results of current study reveal that nursing students adopt more positive attitudes than medical students towards complementary and alternative medicine therapies and that both student groups have limited knowledge of complementary and alternative medicine modalities. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Physicians and nurses play important roles in helping patients use complementary and alternative medicine safely and accurately. Therefore, as future nurses and physicians, nursing and medical students should have sufficient knowledge of and education on complementary and alternative medicine modalities. In this context, handling complementary and alternative medicine on a scientific scale and including it in nursing and medical students' educational programmes should be among the goals and plans in Turkey.
目的:本研究旨在评估和比较护理和医学专业学生对补充和替代医学(CAM)的态度和知识。
背景:尽管补充和替代医学的使用越来越普及,但在许多国家,它并未被纳入护理和医学学校的课程中。
设计:采用横断面设计。
方法:本研究的研究人群包括 2006-2007 学年在护理学校和医学院接受教育的 972 名学生。研究使用了研究人员准备的问卷作为数据收集表。采用 Pearson 卡方检验观察护理和医学专业学生之间的差异。p 值<0.05 被认为具有统计学意义。
结果:研究人群中 49.1%为护理专业学生,50.9%为医学专业学生。在护理专业学生中,57.8%同意补充和替代医学方法应整合到临床实践中,61.3%同意纳入课程。在医学专业学生中,32.6%同意纳入临床实践,37.9%同意纳入课程。护理专业学生对按摩和意象等疗法有足够的了解;而医学专业学生对饮食疗法、维生素和祈祷等疗法有足够的了解。
结论:本研究结果表明,护理专业学生对补充和替代医学疗法的态度比医学专业学生更为积极,而且两个学生群体对补充和替代医学方法的了解都很有限。
临床相关性:医生和护士在帮助患者安全、准确地使用补充和替代医学方面发挥着重要作用。因此,作为未来的护士和医生,护理和医学专业学生应该对补充和替代医学方法有足够的了解和教育。在这种情况下,以科学的规模处理补充和替代医学,并将其纳入护理和医学学生的教育计划,应该成为土耳其的目标和计划之一。
