Tradıtıonal And Complementary Medıcıne Practıces In Patıents Admıtted To Dermatology Outpatıent Clınıc

Abstract

Objective:As in all areas of medicine, the number of patients using traditional and complementary medicine (TCM) methods in dermatology are increasing day by day. The aim of this study was to determine the TCM using experiences in patients who admitted to the dermatology outpatient clinic.

Methods:The demographic characteristics of the 378 volunteering patients and their datas obtained by applying a questionnaire developed by the researchers and consisting of 25 multiple-choice/open-ended questions, were analyzed statistically.

Results:91 (24.6%) of the participants stated that they used at least one TCM practice for their previous or present skin disease. TCM practices were most commonly used for acne / acneiform disorders (n=24, 26.4%). The most common method was using olive oil riding on the scalp (n=20, 22.2%). 19 (24.4%) of those using any TCM method stated that they had benefited from the method they applied and 40 (42.9%) were recommending TCM use to others.

Conclusions:Patients should be informedabout TCM methods and the possible effects and side effects after the use of TCM, and dermatologists should be cautious about this issue.
