Tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp (TAT) kullanımı son yıllarda belirgin bir şekilde artış göstermektedir. Tamamlayıcı tıp modern tıbba yardımcı olarak kullanılan tedavi yöntemlerini tanımlarken, alternatif tıp modern tıbbın yerini alan tedavi yöntemlerini içermektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı; hemşire, ebe ve doktorların TAT yöntemlerine bakışlarını, bu yöntemler hakkındaki bilgilerini ve deneyimlerini araştırmaktır.
Bu araştırma, üniversitede çalışan doktor, hemşire ve ebeler ile yüz yüze görüşülerek yapılmıştır. Anket formu, katılımcıların sosyo-demografik özellikleri, TAT yöntemlerini kullanma durumları ve yöntemler hakkında bilgi düzeylerini ölçen sorular içermektedir. Veriler SPSS programına girilerek yüzdelik, ortalama ve ki-kare testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma 84 sağlık çalışanı ile yapılmıştır. 
Araştırmaya katılan sağlık personelinin %25.0’inin kullandığı en az bir TAT yöntemi bulunmaktadır. Sağlık personelinin kullandığı TAT yöntemlerine bakıldığında; ilk sıraları bitkisel tedavi (%85.4) ve masajın (%21.9) aldığı görülmektedir. Sağlık personelinin hakkında en fazla bilgisi olduğu yöntemler; akapunktur, bitkisel tedavi, diyet desteği ve masaj olarak bulunmuştur. Sağlık personelinin TAT yöntemleri hakkında bilgi edindiği kaynaklara baktığımızda; çevre, arkadaşlar, televizyon ve internet ilk sıraları almaktadır. Sonuç olarak hemşire/ebe ve doktorların TAT yöntemleri hakkında yeterli bilgilerinin olmadığı ve eğitim sürecine de TAT uygulamalarına da yer verilmesini istedikleri sonucuna varılmıştır.
