Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Objective: To observe the confidence level prevailing with regard to the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) among undergraduate nursing students who have undertaken TCM courses at Shanxi Medical University. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Shanxi University of Chinese Medicine. A questionnaire survey was administered through the Questionnaire Star website (https://www.questionstar.com/). The confidence level was examined from 6 aspects, namely cognition of TCM culture and theory, advantages and characteristics of TCM diagnosis and treatment, feelings about TCM achievements, personal behaviors related to TCM, attitudes toward Western medicine, and the future of TCM. The mean score of the observed items was calculated, and was found to be positively related to the confidence level concerning TCM (the score was between 1 and 5). Results: A total of 120 participants voluntarily enrolled themselves in the study. The results showed that the mean score of observed items were generally about 4. A relatively strong confidence was shown in understating TCM advantages and characteristics in diagnosis and treatment, and also in feelings toward TCM achievements. Conclusions: The majority of nursing undergraduates had confidence in TCM. However, some aspects such as the understanding of TCM culture and the correlation between TCM and Western medicine may need to be improved through education.
