OBJECTIVES: To assess the beliefs, attitudes and self-use of Ayurveda, Yoga and
Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy (AYUSH) medicines among senior
pharmacy students. METHODOLOGY: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study
conducted among pharmacy students in four pharmacy schools located in Andhra
Pradesh in South India. This study was conducted from the August to September
2014. The study population included all pharmacy students enrolled in Doctor of
Pharmacy, Bachelor of Pharmacy and Diploma in Pharmacy programs in studied
pharmacy schools. The pretested AYUSH survey had 8 questions on AYUSH related
beliefs and 8 question on AYUSH related attitudes. The survey also asked
participants about AYUSH related knowledge, frequency of use of AYUSH and the
reason for using AYUSH. The data analysis was performed using SPSS Version 20.
Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U-test were employed to study the association
between the independent and dependent variables. RESULTS: A total of 428 pharmacy
students participated in the survey. 32.2% of the study population was females
and 32.5% of the population resided in rural areas. Males were more likely to
have positive beliefs about AYUSH when compared to females (odd ratio [OR] =
4.62, confidence interval [CI] = 2.37-8.99, P < 0.001). Similarly, students
living in hostels were more positive in their beliefs about AYUSH compared with
students living at home (OR = 2.14, CI = 1.12-4.07, P < 0.05). Students living in
hostel also had a positive attitude about AYUSH use (OR = 1.74, CI = 1.03-2.93, P
< 0.05). CONCLUSION: Pharmacy students held favorable attitude and beliefs about
AYUSH use. This baseline survey provides important information about the pharmacy
student's perception about AYUSH. Further research is needed to explore the
reasons that shape the pharmacy student's beliefs and attitudes about AYUSH.
