Amaç: Tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp uygulamalarının kronik hastalıklarda kullanımı artmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı talasemili hastalarda tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp kullanımının değerlendirilmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Hastanemizde izlenen 64 talasemili hastanın kendisi veya anne-babası ile görüşülerek tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp uygulamalarına ilişkin sorulardan oluşan anket uygulaması ile bu çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir.Bulgular: Hastaların 33’ü (% 51.6) alternatif tedavi yöntemlerinden bir ya da daha fazlasını kullanmıştı. En sık kullanılan yöntem 17 (% 26.6) hastada olan bitkisel ürün kullanımı olarak belirlenmiştir. Tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp uygulamaları ile anne baba eğitim düzeyi ve sosyoekonomik düzey arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır.Sonuç: Tüm kronik hastalıklarda olduğu gibi talasemili hastalarda da tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedavi yöntemleri sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedavi yöntemlerinin doğal olduğuna inanıldığı için yan etkileri çoğu zaman gözardı edilmektedir. Kronik hastalıkları olan hastaların izleminde bu konuda ailelerin bilgilendirilmesinin olumsuz sonuçların önlenmesinde etkili olacağına inanılmaktadır.
