Özet:

 Objective: To determine the use of integrative medicine practices in pregnant women with restless legs syndrome. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in the perinatology service and outpatient clinic of a university hospital between 2 February-11 May 2022. The study included 148 pregnant women with restless legs syndrome who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using the Restless Legs Syndrome Diagnostic Criteria Questionnaire, the Restless Legs Syndrome Severity Rating Scale, a Personal Information Form, and an Integrative Medicine Use Form. Results: The pregnant women of the 61.4 were in their last trimester, and 75.7 had no information about restless legs syndrome. Symptoms started at an average of 20.29  8.65 weeks of gestation and 81.1 of the pregnant women did not consult a physician. Of those who did consult a physician, 57.7 consulted a gynecologist and 81.0 were recommended vitaminsminerals as a treatment. For syndrome symptoms, 50.7 of pregnant women used integrative medicine practices. The four most commonly used methods were taking vitamins 55.9, prayer 51.9, brisk walking 45.2 and massage 33.3. There was no statistically significant difference between the use of integrative medicine practices and the severity of restless legs syndrome P .05. Conclusion: Restless legs syndrome is a condition that is not widely recognized by pregnant women. About half of pregnant women try to manage the condition by using integrative medical practices for syndrome. Nurses and other health professionals should provide information to pregnant women to raise awareness of the disease and provide effective treatment options.

 Amaç : Huzursuz bacak sendromu olan gebelerin bütünleşik tıp uygulamalarını kullanma durumlarının belirlenmesi. Yöntemler : Kesitsel tanımlayıcı tipte olan çalışma, bir üniversite hastanesinin perinatoloji servisi ve polikliniğinde 2 Şubat-11 Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Çalışma huzursuz bacak sendromu olan ve dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 148 gebe ile yapılmıştır. Veriler Huzursuz Bacak Sendromu Tanı Kriterleri Anket Formu, Huzursuz Bacak Sendromu Şiddeti Derecelendirme Skalası, Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Bütünleşik Tıp Uygulamaları Kullanım Formu ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular : Gebelerin 61,4ü son trimesterdadır, 75,7sinin huzursuz bacak sendromu ile ilgi bilgisi bulunmamaktadır. Semptomlar ortalama olarak gebeliğin 20,29  8,65 haftasında başlamakta olup gebelerin 81,1i bunun için hekime başvurmamıştır. Hekime gidenlerin 57,7si kadın hastalıkları ve doğum uzmanına başvurmuş ve 81.0ine tedavi olarak vitaminmineral önerilmiştir. Gebelerin 50,7si sendrom semptomları nedeniyle bütünleşik tıp uygulamalarını kullanmaktadır. Gebelerin en sık kullandığı dört yöntem sırası ile vitamin kullanımı 55,9, dua etme 51,9, tempolu yürüyüş 45,2 ve masajdır 33,3. Gebelerin entegre tıp uygulamaları kullanım durumları ile huzursuz bacak sendromu şiddeti arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamaktadır P  .05. Sonuç: Huzursuz bacak sendromu gebeler tarafından çok fazla tanınmayan bir hastalık olarak görülmektedir. Gebelerin yaklaşık olarak yarısı HBS için bütünleşik tıp uygulamalarını kullanarak hastalıkla baş etmeye çalışmaktadır. Hemşireler ve diğer sağlık çalışanları hastalığa ilişkin farkındalık artırmak ve etkili tedavi seçenekleri sunmak için gebeleri bilgilendirmelidir.
