Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and the types of alternative medicine (AM) use in patients with non-metastatic lung cancer. From May 2004 to January 2005, patients with non-metastatic lung cancer attending to the Department of Radiation Oncology of Ankara University Medical School Hospital were evaluated. Face to face interview was conducted to all patients. Patients’ demographic data, their intentions and perceived effectiveness of using AM were evaluated. Fisher exact test were used to compare groups. More than half (%63) of 102 patients had used AM. The most frequently used treatment was herbal medicine. Patients who were low education or low socioeconomic level were found to use more frequent than other patients (p

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı alternatif tedavi (AT) kullanan akciğer kanser tanılı hastalarda AT prevelansı, hasta karakteristiği ve AT tiplerini araştırmaktır. Ankara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Radyasyon Onkolojisi bölümünde Mayıs 2004- Ocak 2005 tarihleri arasında akciğer kanseri tanısı ile radyoterapi (RT) planlanan 102 hastaya yüz yüze tedavi öncesi anket formları dolduruldu. Alternatif tedavi kullanan ve kullanmayan hastaların demografik özellikleri, hastalık ve tedavi karakteristikleri, hastaların AT’den beklentileri ve bu tedavinin hasta üzerindeki etkileri araştırıldı. Grupların karşılaştırılmasında Fisher testi kullanıldı. Radyoterapi için başvuran 102 hastadan 64’ünün (%63) başvuru sırasında alternatif tedavi kullandığı görüldü. Hastaların %59’unun ısırgan otu ve tohumunu içeren bitkisel karışımları kullanıldığı görüldü. Bu çalışmada düşük sosyoekonomik düzey ve düşük eğitim düzeyinin alternatif tedavi kullanımını etkileyen en önemli faktör olduğu bulundu (p
