“…The convenience sampling method was adopted for all studies. Twenty-three studies investigated NSs' KAP toward CAM in general, while the remaining three studies ( 30 , 33 , 40 ) investigated NSs' KAP toward the application of CAM amongst cancer survivors and/or palliative care settings ( Table 1 ).…”

BackgroundThe globally growing demand for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has attracted educators' attention to integrate CAM into conventional nursing programs. This systematic review aimed to understand the status quo of nursing students (NSs)' overall rated knowledge of, attitude/belief toward, and practice/previous use or experience (KAP) of CAM in surveys, given these factors may influence NSs' receptivity to CAM curricula, and may be of value in guiding the development of effective teaching strategies.MethodsFormally published cross-sectional quantitative studies investigating the primary outcome of KAP toward CAM by NSs were searched for from eight databases from their inception through to 28 April 2022. PRISMA 2020 guidelines were followed.ResultsTwenty-six studies were included for analysis, 25 of which were judged to be of moderate to high quality. Despite limited and poorly informed knowledge of CAM therapies, the majority of NSs generally viewed them in a positive light. Furthermore, NSs usually reported an interest in further learning, and supported and welcomed the integration of CAM curricula, at least as elective modules, into existing nursing programs. Lack of evidence was perceived as a major barrier to the use or integration of CAM. Mass media and the internet were the main sources via which NSs access CAM information. Measurement of KAP in all included studies was via self-designed questionnaires/scales or adapted from previously developed questionnaires/scales.ConclusionsThe need for integrating and strengthening CAM curricula into current nursing education is identified. Besides theoretical knowledge and matched clinical placement, skills training in literature searching and evidence-based practice are advised to be included in the curricula design. The experiential learning mode is strongly recommended for delivering specific CAM modalities. In addition, a standard instrumentation for determining NSs' KAP toward CAM should be designed and examined for use in different cultural settings.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.php?RecordID=300602, identifier: PROSPERO CRD42022300602.

“…En este sentido, en el estudio de Çamurdan y Gül, el 85,6% planteó como necesario incorporar MAC en la malla curricular, señalando que entre las terapias podrían estar incluidas el masaje, meditación, aromaterapia, hipnosis y reflexología, debido a los efectos positivos sobre la salud mental del paciente, los procesos de curación, el dolor y el estrés (18) . Sin embargo, en algunas investigaciones los estudiantes señalan que esta integración debe incorporar conocimientos y prácticas abaladas por evidencia científica (11,19,24,33) .…”

“…Incluso Padua sostiene que el aumento del uso de MAC en la población hace necesaria la inclusión de estos contenidos en el entrenamiento académico de los profesionales de la salud, en caso de que no hayan sido formados en pregrado (34) . A su vez, Melland y Clayburgh encontraron que el 82% de las enfermeras coincidieron que es importante que los profesionales de la salud entiendan las MAC (35) , dado que esto permite brindar apoyo a usuarios más activos, respetando sus preferencias y resaltando el enfoque contemporáneo en la educación en enfermería (11,36) . Cabe destacar que el estudio de Contreras mostró que en la medida que los estudiantes avanzan en su desarrollo curricular, pierden el interés en las MAC (27) .…”

Objetivo: Comprender el significado que tiene para estudiantes de pregrado de enfermería el realizar un curso en base a las prácticas complementarias. Metodología: Investigación cualitativa descriptiva en base al análisis de contenido temático de Krippendorff. Se realizó un cuestionario de autorreporte a 80 estudiantes de enfermería, quienes participaron del curso optativo “Cuidados Complementarios en Salud”, entre los años 2014 y 2018, donde se preguntó: “¿qué significó para ti participar en un curso en base a las terapias complementarias?”. Las narrativas transcritas literalmente fueron sometidas a un análisis de contenido cualitativo inductivo por los investigadores, develando las categorías tras su saturación. Resultados: Los significados que los estudiantes le atribuyen a su participación en el curso son: Expandir mi conocimiento sobre las terapias complementarias, Tomar conciencia de nuestra vida, Ser una instancia de crecimiento personal, Considerar la incorporación de las terapias complementarias en enfermería y Valorar la integralidad de las medicinas. Conclusiones: El curso les permitió a los estudiantes tomar conciencia de su propio autocuidado y transformar la experiencia en una instancia de crecimiento personal. Además, los estudiantes consideran necesario aprender sobre las terapias complementarias en pregrado y así adquirir herramientas que les permitan integrar ambas medicinas para el cuidado de la persona y comunidad.

“…[ 16 17 ] Vast numbers of studies from different parts of the world have made an attempt to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of health-care students toward CAM usage and a considerable number of studies addresses the CAM usage pattern among general public and patients.

Aims and Objectives:This study was conducted to identify the different types of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) used, reasons for the use of CAM, and the perceptions, experience, and information seeking-behavior toward usage and safety of CAM by the general public of Ras Al-Khaimah, UAE.Materials and Methods:This was a prospective cross-sectional study. A validated, self-administered, or interviewer-assisted survey questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data from 403 respondents satisfying inclusion criteria were collected and were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 24.0.Results:A majority of the respondents (218 [54.1%]) were females. The most commonly (210 [52.1%]) used CAM among the study respondents was herbal medicine. A total of 91 (22.6%) of the survey respondents mentioned that they receive conventional medications along with their CAM. Majority (213 [52.9%]) of the survey respondents opted for CAM to prevent illness. Good number (208 [51.6%]) of the survey respondents mentioned that CAM usage was beneficial in improving their health condition, and they (216 [53.6%]) do believe it as safe and effective. However, a small group (26 [6%]) of respondents reported side effects or complications with the use of CAM.Conclusion:Widespread use of CAM for different medical problems was evident in our study. Although majority of the CAM users believe it as safe and effective, CAM usage should be discussed with the health-care providers to understand the safety issues involved in the use of majority of CAM.
