To assess the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) of medical students at Hunan Medicine College towards insomnia and TCM treatment.
The study included 676 medical students. More than half were female (64.20%), and 33.8% reported experiencing insomnia for over a week. Participants' KAP scores were evaluated on insomnia and TCM treatment using a scale.
The mean KAP scores for insomnia were 58.93%, 73.75%, and 64.94%, respectively, indicating insufficient knowledge but positive attitudes and moderate practices. TCM treatment scores were 78.18%, suggesting better awareness. Overall, 67.60% of medical students would choose TCM for insomnia treatment. Multivariable analysis revealed associations between choosing TCM and higher knowledge (OR = 1.30), positive attitude (OR = 1.46), better practice (OR = 3.44), and being in a later academic year (OR = 2.397).
The study underscores the need for targeted educational interventions to enhance understanding and promote effective practices among medical students, potentially improving their well-being and addressing insomnia more comprehensively.

该研究纳入了676名医学生。超过一半为女性(64.20%),33.8%的学生报告有超过一周的失眠经历。使用量表对参与者关于失眠及中医治疗的知识、态度和实践得分进行评估。
失眠相关的知识、态度和实践得分均值分别为58.93%、73.75%和64.94%,表明知识不足,但态度积极,实践处于中等水平。中医治疗得分是78.18%,提示认知较好。总体而言,67.60%的医学生在失眠治疗时会选择中医。多变量分析显示,选择中医与知识水平较高(OR = 1.30)、态度积极(OR = 1.46)、实践较好(OR = 3.44)以及处于较高年级(OR = 2.397)相关。
该研究强调需要进行有针对性的教育干预,以增强医学生的理解并促进有效实践,这可能会改善他们的健康状况,并更全面地应对失眠问题。
