Background This study aimed to determine the prevalence and pattern of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use by and attitudes towards CAM of Turkish women during pregnancy and birth. Methods This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study that included 260 women who gave birth in a university hospital. The Personal Information Form and Complementary, Alternative and Conventional Medicine Attitudes Scale (CACMAS) were used as data collection tools. Results A total of 71.5% of the pregnant women received CAM. Phytotherapy, spiritual meditation and therapeutic touch techniques were the most frequently used techniques. A total of 42.7% women used herbal products. The mean score of the women on the CACMAS scale was 108.37 ± 7.71; this result indicates that pregnant women had a positive attitude. There were significant differences in attitudes according to marital status, education level and place of residence. It was determined that there was a significant difference in the CACMAS scores of the women according to the symptoms experienced during pregnancy, CAM use during pregnancy and the concerns about triggering preterm birth by using CAM methods (p < 0.05). Conclusion Although the women commonly used CAM methods during pregnancy, the rate of using these methods during birth considerably decreased. Despite such widespread use, pregnant women have concerns about CAM methods. Therefore, health professionals must actively provide counselling on CAM methods for the protection of maternal and infant health.

Objective: Although its roots go back centuries, there is still a demand for traditional medicine practices and it is important to know the opinion of the society and healthcare professionals about the subject. Our study aims to determine the attitudes of healthcare professional and non-healthcare hospital staff about traditional medicine. Material-Method: A two-stage questionnaire, a demographic information section, and the Complementary, Alternative, and Conventional Medicine Attitudes Scale (CACMAS) was used to collect the data. Descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov Smirnov, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis and chi-square tests were used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 681 staff of nine public and private hospitals participated in the study. 65.4% (n=439) of the participants were healthcare professionals, 34.6% (n=232) were non-healthcare professionals. The mean scores of the healthcare professional respondents were 92.6 (±16.7), of the non-healthcare professional respondents were 126.1 (±11.7). Conclusion:In our study, it was found that healthcare professionals' attitudes towards traditional medicine practices were more negative than non-healthcare professionals. However, as according to the current legislation in many countries around the world, only physicians who receive standard training and other healthcare professionals under their supervision are authorized to perform traditional medicine practices in Turkey. As a result of our study, it was determined that the attitudes of healthcare professionals and other segments of the society should be observed about traditional medicine practices and that measures should be taken to bring together the supply and demand for traditional medicine on a legal basis.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, obezite hastalarının geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemlerini kullanma durumlarının saptanması, bu yöntemleri kullanma nedenleri, hangi kaynaklardan bilgi aldıkları, sağlık çalışanlarının ya da sağlık dışı kişilerin bu yöntemleri kullanmada ne kadar etkilerinin olduğunun araştırılması amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel anket çalışmasına Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi Antalya Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Obezite Merkezi’nde Kasım 2018-Mayıs 2019 tarihleri arasında takip edilen 200 obez hasta dahil edildi. Hastalara obezite nedeniyle uyguladıkları geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemleri, ne kadar süre kullandıkları, fayda ve yan etkileri, bilgi alınan kaynakların sorgulandığı 22 sorudan oluşan anket formu yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle uygulandı. geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemi kullanan ve kullanmayan olmak üzere iki gruba ayrılan hastalar demografik ve klinik özellikleri açısından karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 52,45±9,81 (21-71) yıl; vücut kitle indeksi ortalaması 37,38±5,93 (29,99-57,45) kg/m² idi. Çalışmaya katılan 200 hastanın 117’si (%58,5) geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemlerini kullanmış ve/veya kullanmaktaydı. Geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemlerinin kullanımı kadınlarda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksekti (p=0,001). 104 hasta (%52) fitoterapi, 31 hasta (%15,5) akupunktur, 3 hasta (%1,5) meditasyon-yoga ve 1 hasta (%0,5) hipnoz yöntemine zayıflamak amacıyla başvurmuştu. Hastalar geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemlerini kullanırken en çok medyadan etkilenmişlerdi ve bu ürünlerin en sık kullanım nedeni doğal ve güvenilir olduğunun düşünülmesiydi (n=82, %41). Bitkisel ürün kullanan 11 hastada alerji, bulantı, kabızlık, karaciğer enzimlerinde yükselme ve hipotansiyon gibi yan etkiler ortaya çıkmıştı. Sonuç: Obezite hastalarında geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemlerinin kullanımı oldukça yaygın bulunmuştur. Bu yöntemlerin ilgili alanda eğitim almış hekimlerin kontrolünde doğru şekilde uygulanması hem istenilen etkiye ulaşılması hem de yan etkilerin görülmesinin minimalize edilmesi açısından oldukça önemlidir.
