Tip 2 Diabetes Mellituslu Hastaların Bitkisel Destek Kullanım Durumları

Öz

Giriş/Amaç:Kronik seyri ve hastalığın yönetimindeki zorluklar nedeniyle tip 2 diyabetli bireyler tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedavi yöntemlerine sıklıkla başvurabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Tip 2 diyabetli bireylerde bitkisel destek kullanım sıklığı ve bitkisel destek kullanımı ile ilişkili etmenlerin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler:Tanımlayıcı tipte planlanan araştırmaya, tip 2 diyabet tanısı almış toplam 193 yetişkin birey dahil edilmiştir. Veriler, yapılandırılmış bir anket kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular:Çalışmaya katılan yaklaşık her üç kişiden birinin (%30,1) diyabetin yönetimi için bitkisel desteklere başvurduğu belirlenmiştir. Bitkisel destek kullanan bireylerin sırasıyla %25,9 ve %24,1?i tarafından kullanıldığı beyan edilen tarçın ve karışım ürünler en çok tercih edilen ürünler olmuştur. Ürünlerin temin edildiği yerlerin başında aktarlar (%50,7) gelmektedir. Bireylerin önemli bir kısmı kullandıkları bitkisel desteğe ilişkin araştırma yapmadığını (%82,8) ve kullandıkları ürün hakkında doktorlarına bilgi vermediğini (%81,0) bildirmiştir. Bitkisel destek kullanan bireylerin %67,3?ünün ürünleri komşu ya da tanıdık tavsiyesi üzerine kullanmaya başladığı kaydedilmiştir. Hem bitkisel destek kullanan (%79,3) hem de kullanmayanların (%67,4) büyük çoğunluğu bitkisel ürünlere yönelik sağlık çalışanlarından bilgi almak istediklerini bildirmişlerdir. Sonuç:Bu çalışmada diyabetik bireyler arasında bitkisel destek kullanımının yaygın olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Ürünlerin bilinçsiz kullanımını önlemek için sağlık çalışanlarının konuya ilişkin farkındalığının yüksek olmasının gerekli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
