Objective

To assess nurses’ attitudes towards the concept of ‘holism’ in medicine at a university college in the UK by employing the validated Integrated Medicine Attitude Questionnaire (IMAQ).

Materials and methods

All nurses registered on post-registration education programmes at a university college in the UK were asked to participate in a survey measuring attitudes towards the concept of ‘holism’ in medicine. A modified version of the previously validated 28-item IMAQ was used to carry out this survey. Ethics committee approval was sought and duly granted.

Results

A total of 153 usable responses were collected and are being analysed. Further results will be presented at the symposium.
