Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the attitudes of nursing students going to surgical clinical practice towards holistic complementary and alternative medicine and to evaluate the relationship between attitude scores and holistic nursing levels. Material and Method: The study was a descriptive correlational study. The sample of the study consisted of 381 nursing students who practiced in a surgical clinic at a state university. "Personal Information Form", "Attitude Toward Holistic Complementary and Alternative Medicine Scale" and "Holistic Nursing Competency Scale" were used to collect the data. Results: Among the students who participated in the study, 36.5% of the students applied to Complementary and Alternative Medicine at least once in their lives, 45.1% used the massage method, and most of the students applied to Complementary and Alternative Medicine to get rid of pain (38.8). It was determined that the mean score of the students' Attitude Toward Holistic Complementary and Alternative Medicine was 26.93±6.46 and the mean score of the students' Holistic Nursing Competence was 188.45±39.97. There is a statistically significant negative correlation between the mean scores of the two scales (r=-0.295**, p<0.001).The holistic nursing competence increases as the students' Attitude Toward Holistic Complementary and Alternative Medicine increases. Conclusion: It was determined that students' holistic complementary alternative attitudes were positive and moderate, and their holistic nursing competence levels were above average.

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı cerrahi klinik uygulamasına çıkan hemşirelik öğrencilerinin bütüncül tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıbba karşı tutumlarını belirlemek ve tutum puanlarının bütüncül hemşirelik düzeyleri ile ilişkisini değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Çalışma tanımlayıcı ilişki arayıcı türdedir. Çalışmanın örneklemini bir devlet üniversitesinde cerrahi klinikte uygulama yapmış 381 hemşirelik öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada verilerinin toplanmasında, “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “Bütüncül Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıbba Karşı Tutum Ölçeği “Bütüncül Hemşirelik Yeterlik Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin %36,5’i hayatından en az bir kez Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıpa başvurmuş, %45.1’i masaj yöntemini kullanmış ve en çok ağrıdan kurtulmak için (38.8) Tamamlayıcı alternatif Tıpa başvurulmuştur. Öğrencilerin Bütüncül Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıbba Karşı Tutum puan ortalamalarının 26.93±6.46, Bütüncül Hemşirelik Yeterlik toplam puan ortalamalarının ise 188.45±39.97 olduğu belirlenmiştir. İki ölçek puan ortalaması arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı negatif yönde düşük düzeyde ilişki vardır (r=-0.295**, p<0.001).Öğrencilerin Bütüncül Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıbba Karşı Tutumu arttıkça bütüncül hemşirelik yeterliliği artmaktadır. Sonuç: Öğrencilerin bütüncül tamamlayıcı alternatif tutumlarının pozitif ve ılımlı olduğu, bütüncül hemşirelik yeterlilik düzeylerinin ortalamanın üstünde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca bütüncül tamamlayıcı alternatif tutumları arttıkça bütüncül hemşirelik yeterlilik düzeylerinin arttığı belirlenmiştir.
