Amaç: Çalışmamızda bölgemizdeki astımlı çocuklarda giderek artmakta olan tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedavi kullanım oranını belirlemeyi ve nedenlerini ortaya koymayı amaçladık. Yöntem: Çalışmamız Mart 2009 ve Nisan 2009 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz astım alerji polikliniğinde yapıldı. Ebeveynler sorgulanarak ve hasta dosyaları retrospektif olarak değerlendirilerek hazırlanan formlar dolduruldu. Çalışmaya en az bir yıldır takip gören 253 astım tanılı çocuk alındı. Bulgular: Astımlı çocukların % 33.6’sı kız, % 66.4’ü erkek idi. Çocukların yaşları ortalama 8.4±3.7 yıldı. İzlem süreleri ortalama 4.2±2.9 yıldı. Ebeveynlerin % 66.8’i çocuk için alternatif tedavi kullanmıştı. Çocukta alternatif tedavi kullanımı ile medikal tedaviden memnuniyet arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki görülmedi p>0.05 . Çocuklarda alternatif tedavi kullananların izlem süresi ortalaması, kullanmayanların izlem süresi ortalamasından anlamlı düzeyde yüksek saptandı p
