本研究旨在调查2012-2013年德黑兰大学护生对伊朗传统医学的知识和态度。在德黑兰不同大学学习的300名护理学学生参加了这一描述,横断面研究。数据通过标准问卷收集,具有可接受的有效性和可靠性。问卷由五个部分组成,包括人口统计,伊朗传统医学的一般知识,对它的一般态度,伊朗传统医学的资源和障碍。结果表明,学生对伊朗传统医学和补充医学的一般知识较低。学生对在课程中包括伊朗传统医学和补充医学的态度是积极的。学生对伊朗传统医学的总体态度也是积极的。大多数参与者没有通过任何伊朗传统医学课程。参与者对伊朗传统医学的态度与他们通过的学期数之间没有关系。考虑到参与者的积极态度和他们的知识水平低,大学决策者似乎有必要为护理学生提供有关伊朗传统医学和补充医学的不同培训课程,以增加他们的知识。
The present study aimed at Investigating the knowledge and attitude of Nursing Students towards Iranian Traditional Medicine in universities of Tehran in 2012-2013. 300 students of nursing studying at different universities in Tehran participated in this descriptive, cross-sectional study. The data was collected through a standard questionnaire with an acceptable validity and reliability. The questionnaire was made of five sections including demographic, general knowledge of the Iranian traditional medicine, general attitude towards it, resources of the Iranian traditional medicine and the barriers to it. The results revealed that general knowledge of the students about Iranian traditional medicine and complementary medicine is low. The attitude of the students towards including Iranian traditional medicine and complementary medicine in their curriculum is positive. General attitude of students towards Iranian traditional medicine is positive too. The majority of the participants had not passed any course on Iranian traditional medicine. There was no relationship between participants\' attitude towards Iranian traditional medicine and the number of semesters they had passed. Considering the participants\' positive attitude and their low level of knowledge, it seems necessary for the university policy makers to provide nursing students with different training courses on Iranian traditional medicine and complementary medicine in order to increase their knowledge.
