A Descriptive Review of Graduate Nursing Theses on the Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Children in Turkey*

Öz

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine postgraduate nursing theses conducted in Türkiye that involve the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in children. Method: Data were obtained by searching the National Thesis Center Database of the Council of Higher Education the keywords “child, mother, parent, alternative treatment. Results: A total of seven postgraduate nursing theses related to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) were identified between 2012 and 2024. Of these, one was a doctoral dissertation and six were master’s theses. The first thesis on this subject was conducted in 2012. Most of the theses were descriptive in design. The findings indicated that parents utilize CAM methods for their children and believe in their effectiveness. Furthermore, it was noted that nurses can integrate CAM practices into nursing care. However, the number of theses focusing on the use of CAM in children remains limited. Increasing the number of studies in this area could provide valuable guidance for future research. Conclusion: Upon examination of the postgraduate nursing theses, it was found that the majority were descriptive in nature and primarily focused on families’ use of CAM methods for their children and their level of knowledge regarding these practices."
