Patients, and especially oncology patients, increasingly demand information and application of complementary therapies to supplement their conventional medical treatment and follow-up care. Due to the widespread interest in holistic treatment opportunities in oncology populations, healthcare professionals need to be prepared in differentiating evidence-based methods of the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) spectrum and how to consult with patients about it.
This paper reports on the implementation and evaluation of a newly designed module "Complementary and Alternative Medicine in oncological healthcare" in the bachelor degree program Interprofessional Health Care (B.Sc.).
The study applied a developed evaluation questionnaire to capture students' perspectives on the CAM contents. This assessment instrument was administered pre and post the CAM teaching unit.
Interprofessional medical education, University Hospital Heidelberg, Germany.
The integration of the CAM elective module was possible and was met by positive response. Students' interest was reflected in an increase of their self-reported knowledge gain and positive CAM attitude. Comparison of pre and post evaluation data demonstrate that, particularly, students' expectations on developing their own opinion about CAM, and getting an overview of the evidence-base of different CAM methods have been met.
Evaluation results indicate that the module content was in line with the students' expectations and may have positively impacted on their general CAM attitude. The results support us in continuing to offer this CAM course within the elective module to prepare today's healthcare professionals for patient-oriented healthcare delivery.
患者，尤其是肿瘤患者，越来越多地要求获取补充疗法的信息并应用这些疗法来辅助其传统医疗和后续护理。由于肿瘤患者群体对整体治疗机会的广泛关注，医疗保健专业人员需要做好准备，以区分补充和替代医学（CAM）领域基于证据的方法，以及如何就此与患者进行咨询。
本文报告了在跨专业医疗保健理学学士课程（B.Sc.）中一个新设计的模块“肿瘤医疗保健中的补充和替代医学”的实施与评估情况。
该研究应用了一份编制好的评估问卷来获取学生对补充和替代医学内容的看法。这份评估工具在补充和替代医学教学单元前后进行了发放。
德国海德堡大学医院的跨专业医学教育。
补充和替代医学选修模块的整合是可行的，并且得到了积极的反馈。学生的兴趣体现在他们自我报告的知识增长和对补充和替代医学的积极态度上。前后评估数据的比较表明，特别是学生关于形成自己对补充和替代医学的看法以及全面了解不同补充和替代医学方法的证据基础的期望得到了满足。
评估结果表明该模块内容符合学生的期望，并且可能对他们对补充和替代医学总体态度产生了积极影响。这些结果支持我们继续在选修模块中提供这一补充和替代医学课程，以便为当今的医疗保健专业人员提供以患者为导向的医疗服务做好准备。
