Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has emerged to combat the global COVID-19 pandemic. However, no studies have been conducted to evaluate the attitudes, knowledge, and barriers of Chinese clinical and nursing students in implementing CAM during this period.
UNASSIGNED: The aim of this study was to investigate the attitude, knowledge, and barriers of Chinese clinical and nursing students in using CAM in the context of COVID-19.
UNASSIGNED: An online-based cross-sectional survey was carried out among Chinese medical students, majoring in clinical medicine or nursing, in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and Zhengzhou, Henan Province from May to July 2022. A total of 402 clinical and 644 nursing students responded to a self-administered questionnaire through the Questionnaire Star and WeChat APPs. SPSS 25 (version 25) was used for data analysis. Proportions were compared by Chi-square test. Level of significance between groups was analyzed using independent student t-test and Mann-Whitney U test.
UNASSIGNED: The average score of attitude was 46.63 (SD: 7.38) in clinical students and 49.84 (SD: 6.76) in nursing students. The top four most commonly used CAM treatments in China were proprietary Chinese medicine, diet therapy, decoction, and acupuncture and moxibustion (59.66 %, 22.28 %, 11.66 %, 9.85 %). The students had a good mastery of knowledge about CAM-based prevention and control of COVID-19 (mean score 7.36). The score of CAM knowledge in nursing students was significantly higher than that in clinical students (7.56 VS 7.04, P = 0.000). Gender, grade, previous use, age, and knowledge score could affect students\' attitude towards CAM. The main barriers in spreading CAM use included time-consumption, bad taste, and fear of treatment-related pain (24.5 %). Compared with clinical students, nursing students were more likely to recommend CAM to patients in the future (P = 0.002).
UNASSIGNED: During the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing students were more positive towards CAM use, had a better mastery of CAM knowledge than clinical students. CAM is expected to provide better outcomes in COVID-19 patients. Future studies should focus on the changes in students\' attitudes over time and exploration of influencing factors on CAM use.

摘要：
■补充和替代医学（CAM）已经出现，以对抗全球COVID-19大流行。然而,尚未进行评估态度的研究，知识,以及在此期间中国临床和护理专业学生实施CAM的障碍。
■这项研究的目的是调查人们的态度，知识,以及中国临床和护理专业学生在COVID-19背景下使用CAM的障碍。
■在中国医学生中进行了一项基于在线的横断面调查，主修临床医学或护理，在南京,江苏省,郑州,河南省2022年5月至7月。共有402名临床和644名护生通过问卷之星和微信APP回复了自编问卷。使用SPSS25(版本25)进行数据分析。比例比较采用卡方检验。使用独立学生t检验和Mann-WhitneyU检验分析组间的显著性水平。
■临床学生的态度平均得分为46.63（SD：7.38），护理学生的态度平均得分为49.84（SD：6.76）。中国最常用的4种CAM治疗方法是中成药,饮食疗法,汤剂，和针灸(59.66%，22.28%,11.66%,9.85%）。学生掌握了基于CAM的COVID-19预防和控制知识（平均得分为7.36）。护生CAM知识得分明显高于临床护生（7.56VS7.04，P=0.000）。性别,grade,以前的使用，年龄,知识得分会影响学生对CAM的态度。推广CAM使用的主要障碍包括时间消耗，味道不好,以及对治疗相关疼痛的恐惧（24.5%）。与临床学生相比，护生将来更有可能向患者推荐CAM(P=0.002).
■在COVID-19大流行期间，护生对CAM的使用更加积极，比临床学生更好地掌握CAM知识。预计CAM将在COVID-19患者中提供更好的结果。未来的研究应关注学生态度随时间的变化以及对CAM使用影响因素的探索。
