Muhtasari	The TTAS measures the application and outcomes of therapeutic touch (TT), an energy-based healing modality developed by Krieger and Kunz in which practitioners use intentional hand movements proximal to or in contact with the patient's body to promote relaxation, reduce pain, and facilitate healing. Used both as a competency assessment for practitioners and as an outcome measure for patients receiving TT.	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.
