Rezumat	The PSCS is a patient-report instrument measuring satisfaction with complementary and alternative medicine services, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, and other modalities. Developed by Margolis and colleagues in 1998, it captures dimensions of satisfaction specific to CAM practice—practitioner communication, efficacy expectations, cost concerns, and interpersonal warmth.	The ACAMS is a self-report instrument measuring healthcare professionals' and students' attitudes toward complementary and alternative medicine. Developed in the early 2000s, it assesses openness, acceptance, and perceived legitimacy of CAM alongside conventional medicine, helping identify educational gaps and organizational readiness for integrative practice.
