Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use, to define the most frequently used CAM methods in rheumatic diseases, as well as to assess resources of information encouraging patients using CAM, and to evaluate the physicians' attitudes toward CAM use. Patients and methods: We conducted face-to-face interviews with 318 patients with rheumatic diseases (212 females, 106 males; mean age 48.0±15.1 years; range 18 to 79 years) regarding demographic variables, history of CAM use, preferred CAM methods and resources of information encouraging patients using CAM. Complementary and alternative medicine methods were categorized as follows; 1- Acupuncture, 2- Biofeedback, 3- Dietary modifications, 4- Body-based practices, 5- Magnetic or copper devices, 6- Behavioural methods, 7- Others. Results: Approximately half of the patients (46.2%) experienced at least one method of CAM previously. The most frequently used methods of CAM were dietary modifications (28.9%) and body-based practices (16.4%). Patients with non-inflammatory diseases used CAM more frequently compared to the patients with inflammatory diseases (p=0.023). While 26.5% of the users were satisfied with the benefits of CAM, 73.5% believed that CAM was inadequate or useless. Most of the patients using CAM were encouraged by their relatives and mass media, whereas only 13.6% used CAM with the recommendation of their physician. One half of the physicians were indifferent in respect of CAM use. Conclusion: Complementary and alternative medicine methods are commonly used among patients with rheumatic disorders. However, unfortunately, the most frequent resources of information on CAM are patients' relatives or mass media, rather than a health care professional. Therefore, physicians should be equipped with sufficient knowledge to inform their patients extensively on the use of CAM methods

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada romatolojik hastalıklarda tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp (TAT) kullanım sıklığının ve en sık kullanılan TAT yöntemlerinin belirlenmesi ve bunun yanı sırahastaları TAT kullanımına teşvik eden bilgi kaynaklarının ve hekimlerin TAT kullanımı ile ilgili tutumlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.Hastalar ve yöntemler: Romatolojik hastalığı olan 318 hasta (212 kadın, 106 erkek; ort. yaş 48.0±15.1 yıl; dağılım 18-79 yıl) ile demografik değişkenler, TAT kullanım öyküsü, tercih edilen TAT yöntemleri ve hastaları TAT kullanımına teşvik eden bilgi kaynakları ile ilgili yüz yüze görüşmeler yapıldı. Tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp yöntemleri; 1- Akupunktur, 2- Biofeedback, 3Beslenme değişiklikleri, 4- Vücut temelli uygulamalar, 5- Manyetik veya bakır cihazlar, 6- Davranışsal yöntemler ve 7- Diğerleri olarak kategorize edildi.Bulgular: Hastaların yaklaşık yarısı (%46.2) en az bir TAT yöntemini tecrübe etmişti. En sık kullanılan TAT yöntemleri beslenme değişiklikleri (%28.9) ve vücut temelli (%16.4) uygulamalardı. Hastalığı inflamatuvar olmayan kişiler, inflamatuvar olanlara kıyasla, daha sık TAT kullanmışlardı (p=0.023). Kullananların %26.5'i TAT'ın faydalarından memnun iken, %73.5'i yetersiz ya da etkisiz olduğuna inanıyordu. Tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp kullanan hastaların çoğu, yakınları veya kitle iletişim araçları tarafından teşvik edilmişti; yalnızca %13.6'sı hekimlerin önerisi doğrultusunda TAT kullanmıştı. Hekimlerin yarısı TAT kullanımı konusunda ilgisizdi.Sonuç: Romatolojik hastalığı olanlar arasında TAT yöntemleri sıkça kullanılır. Ancak TAT hakkında en sık bilgi kaynağı bir sağlık çalışanı yerine, ne yazık ki, hasta yakınları veya kitle iletişim araçları olmaktadır. Bu nedenle, hekimler hastalarını TAT yönteminin kullanımı hakkında geniş olarak bilgilendirmek için yeterli bilgi donanımına sahip olmalıdır
