背景
补充和替代医学（CAM）的使用日益增加，这改变了医疗保健专业人员对 CAM 的知识、态度和实践的期望。本研究旨在调查 2020 年阿拉克医科大学（伊朗）学生对 CAM 的知识、态度和实践。
方法
本描述性横断面研究采用目标配额抽样法对 226 名医科学生进行了研究。数据收集工具是根据有效科学文章和文献制定的研究者自制问卷。问卷由 92 个项目组成，评估了学生对 CAM 的知识、态度和实践。
结果
研究参与者的 CAM 知识和态度平均得分分别为 14.12±6.1 和 58.7±29.28。主要信息来源包括大众媒体、互联网和朋友。大多数参与者（63.4%）愿意使用 CAM 方法。最常见的 CAM 是草药疗法（29.1%），最常见的使用原因是胃肠道问题（39.2%）。
结论
参与者表示对 CAM 的知识了解中等，态度较差。因此，考虑到参与者广泛应用 CAM 方法，以及他们知识不足和态度不恰当，建议在医学生的学术课程中除了传统医学之外，还包括 CAM 方法。
