Objective To investigate the present situation of popularization of appropriate Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) techniques and awareness and needs of medical staff on it in a certain prefecture-level tertiary hospital, and put forward related strategies for hospital management. Methods A self-made questionnaire about awareness and needs of medical staff on TCM techniques, TCM Qigong, its acceptance in clinical practice and willingness of improving symptoms was sent out. Results Responses were received form 108 medical staff. The rate of awareness of medical staff on TCM techniques ranged from 15. 74% to 45. 37%, and rate of awareness on TCM Qigong ranged from 53. 70% to 99. 07%. About 98. 14%～100. 00% of medical staff believed effectiveness of TCM techniques, and 84. 26% to 98. 15% of medical staff were willing to relieve clinical symptoms by using TCM techniques. Conclusion Medical staff have a high acceptance of some appropriate TCM techniques and a strong willingness to improve patients' symptoms through these technologies. However, there are issues with insufficient cognitive level of some technologies and practices, leading to problems in meeting treatment needs. Targeted measures should be taken to enhance medical staff's awareness of appropriate TCM techniques. Additionally, the popularization and publicity of appropriate TCM techniques in general hospitals are inadequate, and corresponding measures can be adopted to improve their recognition and application.
