Özet:

 Objective: This study aims to examine the attitude of nurses toward the use of herbal therapies for seasonal influenza after the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This descriptive study was completed with 153 nurses working in shifts at the university hospital. This study was conducted between April 1, 2023, and May 1, 2023. The data were collected in the form of an online questionnaire with the Introductory Information Form prepared by the researchers in line with the literature, and the Attitudes Towards Using Complementary Therapies Scale. Results: The mean age of the participants was 31.846.32 years. Among the nurses who participated in the study, 58.2 stated that they had COVID-19 disease in the previous years 20192022, and 41.8 had seasonal flu this year 2023. The majority of nurses 91.5 reported knowing herbal methods, and 39.2 reported using social media as a source of herbal method information. Demographic factors did not significantly affect COVID-19 and seasonal influenza status, herbal treatment knowledge or use. However, gender, education and marital status played a role in participation in herbal treatment. Conclusion: In this study, it was found that nurses who experienced seasonal influenza after the COVID-19 pandemic had positive attitudes toward the use of herbal treatment during influenza. The most frequently used methods for herbal treatment include herbal teas, the use of herbal oils, and mixtures. In the study, it was found that nurses used rosemary tea, chamomile oil, and black cumin honey mixtures the most, respectively.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, COVID-19 pandemisi sonrasında hemşirelerin mevsimsel influenza için bitkisel tedavilerin kullanımına yönelik tutumlarını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma, üniversite hastanesinde vardiyalı olarak çalışan 153 hemşire ile tamamlandı. Çalışma 1 Nisan - 1 Mayıs 2023 tarihleri arasında yapıldı. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından literatür doğrultusunda hazırlanan Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu ve Tamamlayıcı Tedavileri Kullanmaya Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği ile online anket şeklinde toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 31.846.32 yıl idi. Araştırmaya katılan hemşirelerin 58,2si önceki yıllarda 2019-2022 COVID-19 hastalığı geçirdiğini, 41,8i bu yıl 2023 mevsimsel grip geçirdiğini belirtmiştir. Hemşirelerin çoğunluğu 91,5 bitkisel yöntemleri bildiğini ve 39,2si bitkisel yöntem bilgi kaynağı olarak sosyal medyayı kullandığını bildirmiştir. Demografik faktörler COVID-19 ve mevsimsel grip durumunu, bitkisel tedavi bilgisini veya kullanımını önemli ölçüde etkilememiştir. Ancak, cinsiyet, eğitim ve medeni durum bitkisel tedaviye katılımda rol oynamıştır. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, COVID-19 pandemisinden sonra mevsimsel grip yaşayan hemşirelerin grip sırasında bitkisel tedavi kullanımına yönelik tutumlarının olumlu olduğu bulunmuştur. Bitkisel tedavi için en sık kullanılan yöntemler arasında bitkisel çaylar, bitkisel yağların kullanımı ve karışımlar yer almaktadır. Çalışmada hemşirelerin sırasıyla en çok biberiye çayı, papatya yağı ve çörek otu balı karışımlarını kullandıkları tespit edilmiştir.
