Pharmacology This study investigates the levels of knowledge and attitudes towards traditional medicine (TM) among staff nurses at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM). Utilizing a cross-sectional design, the research included nurses from various departments to provide a comprehensive overview of their perceptions. The findings revealed that while a majority of the nurses (59.6%) held positive attitudes towards TM, a significant portion (51.1%) exhibited poor knowledge about these practices. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant association between the level of knowledge and attitudes towards TM, as well as with sociodemographic factors such as age, gender, years of experience, and income.
