Background: Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapies are becoming increasingly acceptable to the general public and are increasingly used around the world. The international rise in focus on CAM and the increased incorporation of CAM into medical curricula make it important to gain insight into the knowledge and attitudes of medical students about CAM and its integration in the medical curriculum. Materials and Methods:In this present study, we attempt to investigate the Cerrahpasa medical faculty students' knowledge, attitude and practices of the students on CAM. The study used a primary cross-sectional data collection from students of Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty, Istanbul University, in 2012-2013 academic years. Results: Students' knowledge of CAM between classes was also compared. There were also statistically significant differences about the knowledge of those methods (acupuncture, acupressure, yoga, reiki, prayer, meditation massage, dietary, spa). Prayer was the most known modality in all medical classes' students (first year students: 254, sixth year students: 192). The students who participated in the study stated that 433 (%59.4) have some knowledge about the acupuncture (first year students: 229, sixth year students: 204). Acupressure was found to be at least known methods for CAM (first year students: 313, sixth year students: 282). Conclusion: Medical students in our faculty had limited knowledge about CAM therapies. Medical students also have an understanding of the importance of CAM education in the medical curriculum, specifically how it will positively influence professional attitude and stimulate the doctor-patient relationship.

“…Hastalığın günlük aktiviteleri etkileme düzeyi ve evresi, bireyi sağlık arama davranışına yöneltmektedir ve amaç hastalığı iyileştirmektir. 42 Çalışmamızda, hastaların TAT yöntemlerini en fazla kan basıncını düşürmek (%38,8), ağrıyı azaltmak (%30,2) ve enfeksiyonu ön-lemek (%13,2), kan şekerini düşürmek (%9,3) için kullandıkları belirlenmiştir. Kan basıncı, kan şekeri, ağrı ve enfeksiyon gibi gün içinde akut olarak yaşa-nan ve bireyi o an içinde çok fazla etkileyen rahatsızlığı azaltma, kendini iyileştirme arayışlarıyla da ilişkili olabilir.…”

Y aşlanan nüfusla birlikte kronik hastalıkların daha uzun sürmesi, hastalıktan ziyade sağlık üzerine vurgu yapılması sağlık arama davranışı üzerine olumlu etki yapmıştır. Bireyin sağlık arama davranışları yaş, cinsiyet, dini inançlar, önceki hastalık deneyimleri, semptomların şiddeti, hizmetlerin varlığı, maliyeti, hasta olunan günlerin sayısı gibi pek çok faktörden etkilenmektedir. İnsanların daha uzun ve sağlıklı yaşama isteği, ilaçların yan : 207 patients admitted to the internal medicine clinics of a university hospital in April-July 2016 and complying with the criteria were included in the study. The data collection tool created through reviewing the literature was applied using a face-to-face interview method. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : We found that overall 62.3% of respondents had used CAM and they mostly preferred herbal products (58.5%), lesser extent vitamin supplements (7.7%), massage (4.8%) and aromatherapy (4.8%). CAM was used to lower blood pressure (38.8%), relieve pain (30.2%), treatment of infections (13.2%), lowering of blood sugar (9.3%) and improvement of cancer (6.2%) and patients thought "positive effect on your health''. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : It was determined that more than half of the individuals with chronic disease used CAM methods and they preferred herbal products which are one of the easily accessible methods.

Many patients in Jordan suffering from chronic medical conditions concurrently use conventional treatments and alternative HMs [12]. Bridging the gap between pharmacists and herbalists is important to ensure patient safety.…”
