AMAÇ: Tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp, dünyadaki birçok değişik kültürlerden kaynaklanmakta olup geniş bir uygulama yelpazesine sahiptir. Bu uygulamaları kullanan kişilerin özelliklerinin ve hangi nedenlerle bu uygulamalara yöneldiklerinin saptanması; hasta tatmini, tedavi etkinliği ve hizmeti sunanlar açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir üniversite hastanesine başvuran kişilerin tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedaviye yönelik tutum ve davranışlarını belirlemektir. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu araştırma üniversite hastanesine başvuran 700 kişiye yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile anket uygulanarak gerçekleştirildi. Anket formu içerisinde sosyodemografik özellikler, tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedavi kullanım durumlarını değerlendiren, araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanmış sorular ile Bütüncül Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıbba Karşı Tutum Ölçeği (BTATÖ) yer almaktadır. İstatistiksel veriler IBM SPSS V20 istatistik programı kullanılarak değerlendirildi. İstatistiksel yöntem olarak tanımlayıcı istatistikler, ki-kare testi, Mann-Whitney U ve Kruskall–Wallis H testleri kullanıldı ve p<0.05 anlamlı kabul edildi. BULGULAR: Katılımcıların ortalama yaşı 43.10±13.64; %56'sı kadındı ve %92.0’si tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedavi hakkında bilgi sahibiydi. Katılımcıların BTATÖ ortalama skoru 29.51±5.70 olarak bulundu. Kadınların, yüksek gelir düzeyine sahip sağlıklı olan kişilerin, sağlık algısı kötü kronik hastalığı olan ve tamamlayıcı tedavilerin kullanımı hakkında bilgisi olanların tutum puanlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık vardı ve pozitif olarak bulundu (p<0.05 ). SONUÇ: Çalışma sonuçları, hem demografik değişkenlerin hem de bireyin sağlık özelliklerinin tamamlayıcı ve alternatif yöntemlere yönelik tutum üzerinde etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışmamızda, katılımcıların tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıbba yönelik tutumlarının pozitif ve ılımlı olduğu bulunmuştur.
Complementary and alternative medicine is derived from many different cultures around the world and has a wide range of applications. Determination of the characteristics of the people who use these applications and why they are addressed to these applications is important for the patient satisfaction, the effectiveness of treatment and the service providers. The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes and behaviors of individuals who apply to a university hospital towards complementary and alternative therapy. WORK AND METHOD: This identifying type of research was conducted by applying an survey of 700 people applying to the university hospital with the face-to-face interview method. The survey form contains sociodemographic characteristics, supplementary and alternative therapy use conditions, with questions prepared by the researcher and the Integral Complementary and Alternative Anti-Medical Attitude Scale (BTATÖ). The statistical data was evaluated using the IBM SPSS V20 statistical program. As a statistical method, identifiable statistics were used, ki-quare tests, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskall-Wallis H tests, and p<0.05 was considered meaningful. The average age of participants was 43.10±13.64; 56% were women and 92.0% were aware of complementary and alternative therapies. The participants’ BTATÖ average score was 29.51±5.70. There were statistically significant differences in attitude ratings of women, healthy people with high income levels, who had poor health perception chronic disease and who were aware of the use of complementary treatments and found them positive (p<0.05 ). The results of the study show that both demographic variables and the individual’s health characteristics have an impact on the attitude towards complementary and alternative methods. Our study found that the participants' attitudes towards complementary and alternative medicine were positive and moderate.
OBJECTIVE: Complementary and alternative medicine originates from various different cultures around the world and has a wide application range. Determining the characteristics of those who use these applications, ,and for what reasons they turned to these applications is important for the patient satisfaction, therapeutic effectiveness and service providers.

RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was found at 43.10±13.64; 56% of them were female. It was found that 92.0% of them were familiar with complementary and alternative therapies. The mean HCAMQ score of the participants was found as 29.51±5.70. There was a statistical significant difference in the attitude scores in terms of the women, healthy individuals with high income levels, those with chronic illnesses with poor health perception and knowledge about the use of complementary therapies (all p<0.05), and it was found to be positive.
