Özet

Introduction: The main objective of this study is modelling pharmacy students' acquisition of knowledge-based behavior towards complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) by using attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavior and intention. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study designed for pharmacy students' acquiring knowledge-based behavior towards CAM in the light of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) via structural equation modelling (SEM).
