In the beginning of 2014, "Regulation on Conventional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine Practices" whose draft was submitted to the public opinion by Ministry of Health is one of the most important ones of these steps. Familiarity with CAM alternative therapies, recognition of consumers of these practices as well as the legislation arrangements enforce dare important in terms of CAM patient satisfaction, success in the therapy and service providers.

Hedef Kitle Bağlamında Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıp Uygulamaları

Abstract

İnsanlar, sağlık hizmeti sunumunda son yıllarda önemli ölçüde modern ya da suni uygulamalardan kaçınma yönünde davranış göstermektedirler. Sağlık hizmetlerinin sunumunda modern uygulamalardan ziyade, tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp uygulamaları konusu tüm mecralarda geçmişte gündemde olduğundan daha fazla tartışılmaktadır. Bugün tamamlayıcı ve alternatif terapiler (TAT), halkın ilgisine paralel olarak yürütme organlarının da gündemindeki yerini almıştır. Pek çok ülkede alana ilişkin düzenlemeler yapılmış; sosyal güvenlik kapsamına alınmış bu uygulamalara ilişkin ülkemizde de bazı adımlar atılmaya başlanmıştır. 2014 yılının başında Sağlık Bakanlığı tarafından taslağı kamuoyuna sunulan “Geleneksel, Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıp Uygulamaları Yönetmeliği” bu adımların en önemlilerinden biridir. Yapılan mevzuat düzenlemelerinden önce TAT uygulamalarının ve onun kullanıcılarının bilinmesi, karar ve politika etkinliği açısından önem arz etmektedir. Bu uygulamaların tüketicilerinin tanınması; hasta tatmini, tedavide başarı ve hizmeti sunanlar açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışmada TAT uygulamasından yararlanan bireylerin yararlanma gerekçeleri ile onların hastalıkları ve sosyo – demografik özelliklerine ilişkin bilgiler literatür bağlamında ele alınmaktadır
