dc.description.abstract | In Spain, there has been an intense debate between advocates of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and a skeptical movement during the last decade. Neither are these therapies integrated into the public health system, nor have practitioner training courses been regulated. Notwithstanding this, their use is on the increase in Spain, as can be seen in the last public opinion survey (CIS, 2018). Thus, this work aims to explore the attitudes towards and awareness and self-use of CAM among health sciences, journalism, and primary teacher training students. These students were chosen since they will play a fundamental role as storytellers of evidence-based science for the foreseeable future. To perform the study, 234 students were asked to complete a Spanish version of the CAM Health Belief Questionnaire (CHBQ). The results show that, by and large, they had a positive attitude towards CAM, even though the journalism and health sciences students admitted to being wary of them to a certain extent. Four out of the five best known and most used CAM modalities among the respondents fell into the 'mental and corporal practices' category, i.e., yoga, massage, meditation and relaxation | |
