This study aimed to explore the attitudes of adults living in Turkey toward complementary and alternative medicine in the period of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and identify whether Turkish adults used complementary and alternative medicine during the pandemic. The cross-sectional study covered 3242 adults across Turkey. The data were collected via a Personal Information Form and the Holistic Complementary and Alternative Medicine Questionnaire. The participants had positive attitudes toward complementary and alternative medicine (33.8 ± 4.7). The results indicated that the Turkish adults widely used complementary and alternative treatment methods (70.5%) during the COVID-19 pandemic, and they were more oriented toward the use of herbal treatment (35.5%). It was identified that the primary reasons for using complementary and alternative medicine were to be protected from COVID-19, and if infected with COVID-19, to recover from it quickly with only mild symptoms.
