Abstract

Objectives: To detect the prevalence of alternative herbal medicine and nutritional complementary product intake in patients admitted to outpatient cardiology clinics and to determine demographic characteristics, comorbidities and medical properties of those patients. Study design: Patients admitted to outpatient cardiology clinics between June 2011 and March 2012 were given questionnaires involving age, gender, education, occupation, chronic illness, medication, herbs, nutritional complementary products, the index purpose and motivation for using herbs and nutritional complementary products. The data of those questionnaires were analyzed. Results: A total of 454 questionnaires were collected. The mean age was 49±13 and 48% of the participants were female. Of those patients, 12% had diabetes, 34% had hypertension, 26% had coronary artery disease, 7% had heart failure, 58% had chronic illness, 49% had cardiovascular disease, and 57% had history of drug intake. Including vitamins and minerals, there were 75 (16%) patients taking alternative and complementary medicine. When vitamins and minerals were excluded, 56 (12%) patients were using at least one product, while 24 (5%) patients were using more than one. Garlic (n=33), flaxseed (n=13), ginger (n=12), omega 3 (n=12), and turmeric (n=11) were the most popular products. Of those 56 patients, 32% were using alternative medicine for hypertension and 23% for hyperlipidemia treatment, while 20% were using those products to be healthier in general. Alternative medicine was more prominent in females (p=0.04), and older patients (p=0.004). Education level, drug intake, and the presence of chronic illnesses, hypertension and cardiovascular disease were significantly higher in those patients. Conclusion: Alternative and complementary products were common in patients admitted to outpatient cardiology clinics. Female gender, advanced age, higher education level, drug intake, and having a chronic illness were predisposing factors.

Özet

Amaç: Kardiyoloji polikliniğine başvuran hastaların bitkiselkökenli alternatif tedaviler ile tamamlayıcı besin ürünlerini tü ketim sıklığını ve bu ürünleri kullanan hastaların demografik özelliklerini, eşlik eden hastalıkları ile ilaç kullanma oranlarınıbelirlemek.Çalışma planı: Haziran 2011 ile Mart 2012 tarihleri arasında kardiyoloji polikliniğine başvuran hastalara yaş, cinsiyet, eği- tim durumu, meslek, kronik hastalık, ilaç, alternatif ve tamam-layıcı tedavi ürünlerinin kullanımı ile bu ürünlerin ne amaçla,kimin tavsiyesi ile başlandığını sorgulayan anket formları ve- rildi. Toplanan formlardaki veriler analiz edildi. Bulgular: Toplam 454 hasta ile anket yapıldı. Hastaların %48’ikadın, ortalama yaşları 49±13 idi. Hastaların %12’sinde diya- bet, %34’ünde hipertansiyon, %26’sında koroner arter hastalı- ğı, %7’sinde kalp yetersizliği vardı. Hastaların %58’inde kronik bir hastalık, %49’unda her hangi bir kardiyovasküler hastalık,%57’sinde ilaç kullanma öyküsü bulunuyordu. Vitamin ve mine ral kullanımı dahil edildiğinde alternatif ve tamamlayıcı ürünlerikullanan 75 (%16) hasta saptandı. Vitamin ve mineraller hariç tutulduğunda 56 (%12) hastanın en az bir ürün, 24 (%5) has tanın birden fazla sayıda ürün kullandığı belirlendi. Sarımsak (n=33), keten tohumu (n=13), zencefil (n=12), omega 3 (n=12), zerdeçal (n=11) en çok tercih edilen ürünlerdi. Hastaların %32’si hipertansiyon, %23’ü hiperlipidemi tedavisi, %20’si daha sağlık-lı olmak için bu ürünleri kullandıklarını belirtti. Alternatif ürünleri kullanan grupta kadın hasta oranı kullanmayan gruba kıyasladaha fazla olup (p=0.04), yaş ortalamalarının da daha yüksekolduğu saptandı (p=0.004). Eğitim düzeyinin yüksek olması, ilaç kullanma, kronik hastalık, hipertansiyon ve kardiyovasküler hastalık öyküsü, bu ürünleri kullananlarda kullanmayan hastalara göre anlamlı olarak fazlaydı. Sonuç: Kardiyoloji polikliniklerine başvuran hastalarda bitkisel kökenli alternatif tedaviler ile tamamlayıcı besin ürünlerinin yaygın olarak kullanıldığı belirlendi. Yaşlı, eğitim düzeyi yüksek, kadın cinsiyette olan, ilaç kullanan ve kronik bir hastalığıbulunan hastalarda bu ürünlerin daha fazla tüketildiği saptandı.
