Abstract

Background

To assess the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) of medical students at Hunan Medicine College towards insomnia and TCM treatment.

Methods

The study included 676 medical students. More than half were female (64.20%), and 33.8% reported experiencing insomnia for over a week. Participants' KAP scores were evaluated on insomnia and TCM treatment using a scale.

Results

The mean KAP scores for insomnia were 58.93%, 73.75%, and 64.94%, respectively, indicating insufficient knowledge but positive attitudes and moderate practices. TCM treatment scores were 78.18%, suggesting better awareness. Overall, 67.60% of medical students would choose TCM for insomnia treatment. Multivariable analysis revealed associations between choosing TCM and higher knowledge (OR = 1.30), positive attitude (OR = 1.46), better practice (OR = 3.44), and being in a later academic year (OR = 2.397).

Conclusion

The study underscores the need for targeted educational interventions to enhance understanding and promote effective practices among medical students, potentially improving their well-being and addressing insomnia more comprehensively.

医学生对失眠的认识、态度与实践与中医治疗。

背景：了解湖南医学院医学生对失眠及中医治疗的认知、态度和行为（KAP）。方法：对676名医学生进行调查。超过一半的人是女性（64.20%），33.8%的人报告失眠超过一周。使用量表评估受试者失眠和中医治疗的KAP评分。结果：失眠KAP平均得分分别为58.93%、73.75%和64.94%，认知不足，但态度积极，行为适度。中医治疗得分为78.18%，说明中医认知水平较高。总体而言，67.60%的医学生会选择中医治疗失眠。多变量分析显示，选择中医与更高的知识（OR = 1.30）、积极的态度（OR = 1.46）、更好的实践（OR = 3.44）和较晚的学年（OR = 2.397）相关。结论：该研究强调了有针对性的教育干预的必要性，以增强医学生的理解并促进有效的实践，从而有可能改善他们的健康状况，更全面地解决失眠问题。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
