Giriş: Kanser hastaları, kanser tedavilerinin yan etkileriyle baş etmek, beslenme desteği sağlamak, bağışıklık sistemini güçlendirmek ve iyileşmeyi hızlandırmak için Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıp (TAT) kullanmaktadır. Amaç: Bu çalışmada onkolojik cerrahi geçiren hastaların tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp kullanımının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel olan bu çalışma, 1 Nisan - 1 Ekim 2021 tarihleri arasında Türkiye'nin batısındaki bir üniversite hastanesinin onkoloji ünitesinde kanser tanısı nedeniyle cerrahi müdahale uygulanan 322 hasta ile gerçekleştirildi. Veriler “Hasta Kimlik Formu” ve “TAT Kullanımını Belirleme Formu” kullanılarak toplandı.Bulgular: Onkolojik cerrahi girişim uygulanan hastaların yaklaşık yarısının TAT kullandığı, TAT kullananların % 87,5'inin biyolojik temelli yöntemleri, % 90,6'sının zihin-beden müdahaleleri ve % 78'inin her iki yöntemi bir arada kullandığı belirlendi. TAT kullanan hastaların % 3,1’inde uyguladığı yönteme bağlı yan etki yaşadığı belirlendi.Sonuç: Hastaların sıklıkla ameliyat öncesinde TAT'a başvurdukları ve sonrasında devam ettikleri bulundu. Ayrıca, hastaların yaşadıkları deneyimlerden etkilenerek TAT seçerken bağışıklıklarını güçlendirmeyi, tedaviyi desteklemeyi ve aynı zamanda kendilerini yan etkilerden korumayı amaçladıkları belirlendi.Sağlık çalışanları tarafından, hastaların TAT kullanma nedenlerinin ve uygulanan yöntemlerin belirlenerek kaydedilmesi önerilmektedir.

Background: Cancer patients use Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) to cope with the side effects of cancer treatments, provide nutritional support, strengthen the immune system, and speed recovery.Objectives: This study aimed on the utilization of complementary and alternative medicine in post-oncological surgery patients. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted between April 1 and October 1, 2021, involving 322 patients who underwent surgical intervention due to a cancer diagnosis in the oncology unit of a university hospital in western Turkey. The data were collected using the "Patient Identification Form" and "Form for Determining the Use of CAM".Results: It was determined that approximately half of the patients who underwent oncological surgery utilized CAM, with 87.5 % of CAM users employing biological-based methods, 90.6 % utilizing mind-body interventions, and 78 % using both methods concurrently. Moreover, it was found that 3.1 % of patients experienced side effects related to the method they employed.Conclusion: Patients were found to frequently utilize CAM both prior to surgery and in the postoperative period. It was determined that patients were influenced by their experiences and aimed to strengthen their immunity, support treatment, and protect themselves from side effects when choosing CAM.It is recommended that healthcare professionals identify and document the reasons for patients' use of CAM and the methods they apply.
