The present study sought to identify knowledge and attitudes towards Integrative and Complementary Practices (PIC) among health professionals of the public service in three Brazilian municipalities. We conducted an exploratory cross-sectional study with professionals from top-level health of the municipalities of Araporã - Minas Gerais; Itumbiara - Goiás and Panamá -Goiás. For data collection was used a questionnaire with open and closed questions. The data were processed using SPSS version 17. Descriptive analysis was performed of data and cluster analysis (two-step cluster). The response rate was n = 118 participants (78.7%). The age of the respondents ranged from 23 to 66 years, with a mean of 33.6 years (± 9.6). The majority of respondents were nurses and doctor n = 24, followed by psychologists n = 15 and physiotherapists n = 13. Among the 117 who claim to know the PIC, the best known are: acupuncture n = 115, herbal medicine n = 104 and homeopathy n = 93. The lesser known are: anthroposophy n = 7, hydrotherapy n = 15 and Ayurvedicn = 20. Among the professionals who know these practices, n = 114 believe in acupuncture, n = 100 and only n = 24 believe in homeopathy. As the experience with the Integrative and Complementary Practices, n = 24 professionals have read or have had experience through the family. Among the respondents n = 109 considered the PIC efficient, n = 102 that they are important to the profession, n = 112 that they are important for the SUS and only n = 36 felt that their concerns are related to what was taught during graduation. As for the inclusion of PIC in the curriculum matrices, n = 113 responded that they should be included in undergraduate as compulsory or optional courses. Only n = 19 professionals knew the National Policy on Integrative and Complementary Practices. The analysis in clusters allowed us to find two groups with different profiles. It is concluded in this study that the majority of respondents are doctor and nurse; partially meets the PIC and were considered more efficient acupuncture and herbal medicine; unaware of the National Integrative and Complementary Practices Policy (PNPIC); asserts that the knowledge was obtained by reading and family experience, however, few consider that graduation was important to obtain this knowledge; considers that the PIC should be inserted at graduation; experienced the PIC through herbal medicine, acupuncture and homeopathy; considers the efficient PIC and that these are important to the Abstract xv profession and the SUS. The cluster analysis identified two groups that differ as to the PIC and the PNPIC by knowledge, beliefs, perceptions, conceptions and skills.
