Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: There is a wide range of use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), which has increased drastically and affected treatments overall. The knowledge and practice of Chinese herbal medicine among the general population is considered as positive. Literature shows that the effectiveness and acceptance of alternative therapies is still debatable among the general population.
UNASSIGNED: Study design was cross-sectional, in which sociodemographic data of respondents were collected through a validated questionnaire; results were analyzed by using validated data collection tool. The results were concluded on the basis of good, moderate, and poor response, which was evaluated through data analysis by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software, version 20.0. A P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
UNASSIGNED: Respondents were 182 (44.4%) males and 228 (55.6%) females; better knowledge was recognized among the females (P < 0.001) with mean knowledge of 15.55 ± 2.7. Chinese population had good knowledge with statistically strong correlation with mean knowledge of 15.63 (P = 0.006). Likewise, Buddhism was reported to have good knowledge among all the religions. Rural population was underlined with lesser family income and they showed good practice and understanding (P = 0.006). Comparatively positive attitude was noticed among the females (P < 0.001) with mean attitude of 15.55 ± 2.7. The highest level of education in this study was postgraduate, which showed 77.1% good attitude. Postgraduate participants were having varied results with standard deviation of ±6.23. Statistically highly significant association was seen between the religion and attitude of respondents with the P < 0.001. Chinese medicine is widely used, but religious difference was found among the races. Similar difference was found in knowledge and practice among the population of rural side and low family income compared to urban population with higher income and access to allopathic medicine.
UNASSIGNED: Despite having better practice among the Malaysian population, still the knowledge needs to be disseminated among the population for the overall use of traditional Chinese medicine with safety to improve health and quality of life in Malaysia.

摘要：
■补充和替代医学（CAM）的用途广泛，急剧增加并影响整体治疗。一般人群对中草药的认识和实践被认为是积极的。文献表明，替代疗法的有效性和接受度在普通人群中仍然存在争议。
■研究设计是横截面的，通过经过验证的问卷收集受访者的社会人口统计学数据;使用经过验证的数据收集工具对结果进行分析.结果在良好的基础上得出结论，中度,反应不佳，通过社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）软件的数据分析进行评估，版本20.0。P<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
■受访者为男性182（44.4%）和女性228（55.6%）；女性中认识到更好的知识（P<0.001），平均知识为15.55±2.7。中国人群具有良好的知识水平，与平均知识水平15.63具有统计学强相关性（P=0.006）。同样，据报道，佛教在所有宗教中都有很好的知识。强调农村人口的家庭收入较低，他们表现出良好的实践和理解（P=0.006）。在女性中观察到相对积极的态度（P<0.001），平均态度为15.55±2.7。这项研究中最高水平的教育是研究生，77.1%的人态度良好。研究生参与者的结果各不相同，标准偏差为±6.23。在统计学上，受访者的宗教信仰和态度之间存在高度显着关联，P<0.001。中药被广泛使用，但是种族之间存在宗教差异。与收入较高和获得对抗疗法药物的城市人口相比，农村人口和家庭收入较低的人口在知识和实践上也发现了类似的差异。
■尽管在马来西亚人口中有更好的实践，仍然需要在人群中传播知识，以安全地整体使用中药，以改善马来西亚的健康和生活质量。
