Abstract

Bel ağrısı sık görülür ve fonksiyonel kısıtlılık, yaşam kalitesinin azalması iş gücü kaybı ve ekonomik yük nedenidir.
Amaç: Amacımız kronik mekanik bel ağrısı olan hastaların Tamamlayıcı Alternatif Tedavi yöntemlerine ne oranda başvurdukları, sıklıkla hangi yöntemleri kullandıkları, bu yöntemlere hangi kanallarla başvurdukları ve sosyodemografik özelliklerle ilişkisinin değerlendirmektir.
Gereç Yöntem: Kesitsel tanımlayıcı nitelikteki araştırmaya kronik mekanik bel ağrısı olan rastgele seçilen 500, kadın ve erkek hasta alındı. Bilgilendirilmiş onamları imzalayan hastaların sosyodemografik özellikleri, tanıları kaydedildi.Bel ağrısı şiddeti vizuel analog skalayla değerlendirildi, tamamlayıcı alternatif tedavi kullanımları sorgulandı.
Sonuç :Bel ağrısında tamamlayıcı alternatif tedavilere başvuru sıktır. Bu nedenle hekimler tarafından bu konuda kapsamlı, yüksek hasta katılımlı bilimsel araştırmaların yapılması gerekliliğini ortaya koymuştur.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Bel Ağrısı , Fizyoterapi, Alternatif Tıp

Abstract

Abstract
Low back pain is a common and causes functional limitations, decreased quality of life, loss of workforce, and economic burden.
Aim : Our aim is to evaluate to what extent patients with chronic mechanical low back pain use Complementary Alternative Treatment methods, which methods they frequently use, through which channels they use these methods, and their relationship with sociodemographic characteristics.
Materials and Methods: 500 randomly selected male and female patients with chronic mechanical low back pain were included in this cross-sectional descriptive study. Sociodemographic characteristics and diagnoses of the patients who signed informed consent were recorded. The severity of back pain was evaluated with a visual analog scale, and their use of complementary alternative treatments was questioned.
Conclusion : It is common to use complementary alternative treatments for low back pain. For this reason, it has revealed the need for comprehensive scientific research with high patient participation by physicians on this subject.
Key Words: Back Pain, Physiotherapy Alternative Treatment
