Özet

Amaç: Kronik hastalıkların artmasıyla birlikte tamamlayıcı alternatif tedavi kullananların sayısı da artmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, hipertansif hastaların tamamlayıcı alternatif tedavilerin kullanımına yönelik görüş ve uygulamaları ile bu tedavilere olan tutumlarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki araştırma bir devlet hastanesinin kardiyoloji ve iç hastalıkları polikliniklerine başvuran hipertansiyon tanısı konulmuş olan 290 hasta ile yapıldı. Veriler, hastaların sosyo-demografik özellikleri, hastalığa ilişkin özellikleri ve tamamlayıcı alternatif tedavi kullanımına ilişkin görüş ve uygulamalarını içeren “Hasta Bilgi Formu” ve “Bütüncül Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıbba Karşı Tutum Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplandı. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 61,52±11,19 olup, %63,1’i kadın, %83,4’’ü evli, %74,8’i ilköğretim ve altı eğitim düzeyindedir. Hastaların %56,9’u hipertansiyon tedavisine ek olarak tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedavi yöntemlerini kullanmakta, %27,3’ü ilaçlardan daha etkili olduğunu düşünmekte, %63’ü kullandıkları yöntemi sağlık çalışanları ile paylaşmamaktadır. Hastaların Bütüncül Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıbba Karşı Tutum Ölçeği toplam puanı 23,05±5,80’dir. Ölçek ve alt boyutlarından alınan puanlar hastaların yaş gruplarına, eğitim düzeyine, aylık gelir durumuna ve Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıp kullanma durumlarına göre farklılık göstermektedir (p
