Purpose The use of nutrients and food supplements is increasing worldwide. Nutrients and food supplements frequently used in the surgical period may cause complications and side effects. This study was conducted to determine the level of knowledge about sixty-one nutrients and food supplements among doctors and nurses working in surgical clinics. Design A multicentre descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional study. Methods The study was conducted between 15 February and 31 May 2022 with a total of 410 participants, including 143 doctors and 267 nurses, working in the surgical clinics of 8 hospitals, including public, university and private hospitals, within the borders of one province in Turkey. Data were collected face-to-face using a questionnaire developed by the researchers, which included descriptive characteristics of the doctors and nurses and questions about sixty-one nutrients and food supplements. Results The median overall success score of the doctors and nurses participating in the study regarding the use of nutrients and food supplements was 3.20 out of 100 points, the median success score of complications and side effects of nutrients and food supplements in the surgical period was 7.06 out of 33 points, the median success score for discontinuation of nutrients and food supplements prior to surgery was 0.21 out of 16 points, and the median success score for drug interactions of nutrients and food supplements was 1.70 out of 51 points. In addition, it was found that the overall success scores of doctors and nurses regarding nutrients and food supplements increased statistically significantly with increasing age and working years. The total success score of doctors and nurses who received training in nutrients and food supplements was statistically significantly higher than that of doctors and nurses who did not receive training. Conclusion In conclusion, it was found that the level of knowledge of nutrients and food supplements among doctors and nurses working in surgical clinics was less than half or even close to zero. Therefore, it is recommended that training on nutrients and food supplements should be included in the undergraduate and postgraduate education of doctors and nurses in order to prevent complications, side effects, drug interactions and patient safety related to the use of nutrients and food supplements in the surgical period.

Alıç bitkisinden elde edilen meyve, yapraklar ve çiçekler, içerdiği biyoaktif bileşenlerinin sağlık üzerine olumlu etkileri sayesinde geleneksel tıp uygulamalarında yüzyıllardır kullanılmaktadır. Alıç; Asya, Avrupa, Afrika ve Amerika’da yetişebilen, tür çeşitliliği açısından zengin bir bitkidir. Alıcın türü ve yetiştiği coğrafi bölge, kimyasal bileşiminde etkili olmaktadır. Bu bitkinin meyve, yaprak ve çiçek kısmından elde edilen ekstraktlar çeşitli biyoaktif bileşenler içermektedir. Alıç bitkisinden 300’den fazla kimyasal bileşen izole edilmiştir. Bitkinin temel kimyasal bileşenleri flavonoidler ve organik asitlerdir. İçeriğinde bulunan bu biyoaktif bileşenlerin, hastalıklardan korunmada ve tedavide faydalı olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Dünyadaki ölüm nedenlerinin başında gelen kardiyovasküler hastalıkların tedavisinde ve önlenmesinde alıç ekstraktının yararlı etkileri gösterilmiştir. Yapılan çalışmalarda, alıç ekstraktının GLUT4 ekspresyonu ile hücreye glukoz girişini arttırdığı belirtilmiştir. Dolayısıyla Diabetes mellitus (DM)’ün tedavisinde ve komplikasyonlarının azaltılmasında kullanılabileceği öne sürülmüştür. Yapılan in-vitro ve in-vivo çalışmalarda alıcın; anti-oksidan, anti-mikrobiyal, anti-hipertansif, anti-kanserojenik vb. etkileri gösterilmiştir. Alıç tüketiminin, ilaçların etkisini güçlendirebileceği ya da engelleyebileceği göz önünde bulundurularak, ilaç kullanan kişilerin, alıcı hekim kontrolünde tüketmesi önerilmektedir. Bu derlemede amaç alıç bitkisinin kimyasal bileşenleri ile potansiyel faydaları hakkında bilgi vermek, terapötik formülasyonların ve gıda uygulamalarının geliştirilmesine katkı sunmaktır.
