                            <p>Aim: This research was conducted to determine the relationship between women&#039;s attitudes towards complementary alternative therapy and fear of COVID-19. Method: The population of this descriptive cross-sectional study consisted of 572 women. Personal information form, COVID-19 Fear Scale, Holistic Complementary and Attitude towards Alternative Medicine Scale were used as data collection tools. Results: The average age of the women participating in the study was 24.84 ± 7.72, 70.6% had information about complementary alternative therapy (CAT), 59.3% found this treatment partially safe, 63.8% did not use complementary alternative therapy, and 59.4% of those using this treatment method. It was determined that reputation drank herbal teas and 41.8% used CAT to increase body resistance.                   Conclusions and Suggestions: It was determined that the mean scores of COVID-19 fear and attitude towards complementary alternative treatment were moderate, and there was a negative significant relationship between fear of COVID-19 and complementary alternative treatment attitude. In the study, it was determined that variables such as education level, marital status, chronic illness, having COVID-19, and finding complementary alternative treatment safe affected the use of alternative treatment. It is recommended to pay attention to the use of complementary alternative treatment methods in epidemic diseases and to obtain information from health professionals.</p></trans-abstract>

Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı kesitsel tipte yapılan araştırma 572 kadın ile yapıldı. Veri toplamada kişisel bilgi formu, COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği, Bütüncül Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıbba Karşı Tutum Ölçeği kullanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan kadınların yaş ortalamasının 24.84±7.72 olduğu, %70.6’sının tamamlayıcı alternatif tedavi (TAT) hakkında bilgisinin olduğu, %59.3’ünün bu tedaviyi kısmen güvenli bulduğu, %63.8’inin tamamlayıcı alternatif tedaviyi kullanmadığı, bu tedavi yöntemini kullananların %59.4’ünün bitki çayları içtiği, %41.8’inin vücut direncini arttırmak için TAT kullandığı belirlendi. COVID-19 korku ve tamamlayıcı alternatif tedaviye karşı tutum puan ortalamalarının orta düzeyde olduğu, COVID-19 korkusu ile tamamlayıcı alternatif tedavi tutumu arasında negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu saptandı.Sonuçlar ve Öneriler: Araştırmada eğitim düzeyi, medeni durum, kronik hastalık, COVID-19 geçirme, tamamlayıcı alternatif tedaviyi güvenli bulma gibi değişkenlerin alternatif tedaviyi kullanımı etkilediği belirlendi. Salgın hastalık durumlarında tamamlayıcı alternatif tedavi yöntemlerinin kullanımına dikkat edilmesi ve sağlık profesyonellerinden bilgi alınması önerilmektedir.</p></abstract>
