Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın temel
amacı, ağrılı hastalarda tamamlayıcı tıp (TT) kullanım sıklığını belirlemektir.
Ek olarak hastaların TT'ye karşı tutumlarının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu
çalışma tanımlayıcı tipte bir araştırmadır. Çalışmanın evreni, 1 Mayıs-30
Haziran 2018 tarihleri arasında Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon Kliniğine ağrı
şikayeti ile başvuran hastalardan oluşmaktadır. Verilerin toplanması yüz yüze
görüşme yöntemi ile katılımcılara uygulanan 14 sorudan oluşan bir anketin
uygulanmasıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Bulgular:
Çalışmaya katılan 204 hastanın %56,9'u (n = 116) kadındı. %50,5'i (n = 103)
40-64 yaş grubunda olup, %27,5'i (n = 26) ilkokul mezunuydu. En az bir TT
uygulaması deneyimi olan hastaların sıklığı %56,9'du (n = 116). En yaygın
kullanılan TT uygulamaları sırasıyla bitkisel tedavi, hacamat ve kupa tedavisi
idi. Çalışmamızın bulguları 65 yaş ve üzeri yaş grubunun, kadınların, ilkokul
veya daha düşük eğitim düzeyine sahip olanların ve kronisite veya
komorbiditenin eşlik ettiği ağrıları olanların daha sık TT kullanma eğiliminde
olduğunu göstermiştir.







Sonuç: Toplumda TT
uygulamalarının popülaritesi giderek artmaktadır. Birçok TT uygulamasının etki
mekanizması henüz tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Çalışmamızda ağrılı hastaların,
özellikle de kronisite veya komorbiditenin eşlik ettiği ağrıları olanların
yaygın olarak TT kullandığı gösterilmiştir. TT hakkında bilgimizi genişletmek
için daha fazla analitik çalışma yapılmalıdır.

Assessment of Complementary Medicine Use among Patients with Pain: A Descriptive Study from a Tertiary Hospital

Abstract

Objective: The
main objective in this study was to evaluate the frequency of complementary
medicine (CM) use among patients with pain. We also aimed to investigate the
attitudes of patients towards CM.

Materials and Methods:
This is a descriptive study. The population of the study consisted of patients
who admitted to a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic in May 1- June 30,
2018 with pain complaints. Data collection was performed using a questionnaire
consisting of 14 questions which is applied to the participants with a
face-to-face interview method.

Results: Of
the 204 participating patients, 56.9% (n=116) were female, 50.5% (n=103) were
in the 40-64 age group and 27.5% (n=26) were graduated from primary school. The
frequency of the patients who used at least one CM application was 56.9%
(n=116). The most common used CM applications were herbal therapy, hijama (wet
cupping) and cupping therapy, respectively. Our results suggested that 65 and
over age group, females, those who have an education level of primary school or
less and those who have pain accompanied by chronicity or comorbidity tended to
utilize CM more frequently.







Conclusion: The
popularity of complementary medicine continues to grow. Mechanism of action of
many CM practices is not yet known. Our study has shown that patients with
pain, particularly with pain accompanied by chronicity and comorbidity
extensively use CM. Further analytical studies should be carried out to expand
our knowledge in CM.
