“…Bu amaçla yapılan çalışmalar hasta ve/veya hekimlerin bu yöntemlere bakış açılarını öğrenmek ve bu yöntemlerin bilimsel açıdan etkilerini değerlendirebilmek arasındaki bir spektrumda yapılmaktadır. Türkiye'de de belli hasta gruplarının TAT kullanımları ile ilgili yapılan anket çalışmaların bir kısmı hemşirelik okulları tarafından yapılmıştır [24][25][26][27][28][29] . Bu çalışmalardan birinde ebelerin hamile hastalara TAT önerme oranları %58,9 olarak tespit edilmiş ve önerilenler arasında bitkisel tedaviler, diyet ve egzersiz en sık olarak bildirilmiştir 24 .…”

ÖzetAlternatif tıp genellikle bağımsız ya da konvansiyonel tedavi yerine kullanılan yöntemleri ifade ederken, tamamlayıcı tıp ise temel olarak konvansiyonel tedaviye eşlik eden ya da onu tamamlayan yöntemler olarak tarif edilir. Kronik olup emosyonel olarak da hastayı oldukça yıpratan çok sayıda deri hastalığının konvansiyonel yöntemlerle tedavi edilememesi nedeniyle birçok hastanın bu yöntemler dışında tamamlayıcı ya da alternatif tedavileri denediği birçok dermatolog tarafından bilinmektedir. Bu derlemede ülkemizdeki tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedaviler ile ilgili durum incelenmiş ve çözüm önerileri tartışılmıştır.

“…Conversely, a study performed in New-Zealand and Canada reported a 40% usage of CAM in a sample of 648, midwives motivated by a lack of interest, religious conflicts and doubts about suitability (Harding and Foureur, 2009). Furthermore, an investigation in Turkey showed that, aside the applications of CAM, 60% of 129 midwives of the family health centers were particularly interested in herbal treatment (Koc et al, 2012).…”

The growing interest in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) applies also to the field of obstetrics and this encouraged midwives to support the application during pregnancy and delivery. Application of CAM is complete according to the skills and the aims of the midwife's professional profile, representing as it does a safe non pharmacological approach which endorses both the autonomy of women and midwives' professional autonomy. The aim of the present study is to investigate the midwives attitude to CAM application in Emilia-Romagna region located in the NorthItaly. This observational study investigated by a written questionnaire 525 midwifes referred to the hospitals and freelancers of Modena, Reggio Emilia, Forlì Rimini and Cesena cities. In such sample, a high involvement of midwives in CAM reaching the 90 to 100% either for hospital/territorial workers or freelancers was observed. Breech presentation and labour management represents the most frequent indication followed by hyperemesis gravidarum. The methods most frequently applied are acupression and moxibustion, homeopathy, relaxation and massage and osteopathy. These midwives were also interviewed about the CAM training expectations: the opportunity to receive teaching during degree is wished by 70% of them, whereas 30% preferred a post-degree training. This represents a preliminary study facing for the first time the attitude toward CAM in Italy, even if the sample size do not allow to reach strong conclusion, some considerations could be drawn: the high compliance showed by midwives should stimulate the increase of CAM offered in public health services and the request also for a qualified training during degree or post-degree studies should promote an enlargement of teaching offer.
