 Amaç: Bu araştırmada Uşakta birinci basamak sağlık kuruluşlarına başvuran hastaların bitkisel ürün kullanımına yönelik tutum ve davranışlarını belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı nitelikte olan araştırmanın verileri. Şubat-Mayıs 2019 tarihleri arasında Uşak ili Kemalöz Aile Sağlığı Merkezi polikliniklerine gelen gönüllü hastaların katılımı ile yüz yüze anket tekniği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Toplam 14 sorudan oluşan ankete 508 gönüllü cevap vermiştir. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 22 paket yazılımı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler, sürekli değişkenlerde aritmetik ortalama  standart sapma olarak, kesikli değişkenler ise yüzde  olarak tanımlandı. Bulgular: Katılımcıların bitkisel ürün kullanma nedenleri incelendiğinde 49,2 oranında hastalıklardan korunmak, 26,7 oranında ise kullanımı kolaylığı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların 68,8i bitkisel ürünlerden memnun olduğunu belirtmesine rağmen 86,6sı bitkisel ürünleri kullanmaları için başkalarına önermeyeceklerini belirtmiştir. Sonuç: Araştırma sonuçlarımıza göre katılımcılarımız bitkisel ürünleri sıklıkla solunum ve sindirim rahatsızlıkları, bağışıklık güçlendirme ve kilo problemleri nedeniyle kullanılmakta iken, bu ürünlerin ilaç tedavisinden daha etkili ve daha az yan etkisi olduğu görüşü hakimdir. Bitkisel ürünler; standardize ve sıkı kontrole tabi tutularak etkili ve güvenli olduğundan emin olunmalı, aynı zamanda zararlı ve ciddi yan etki potansiyeli olanlardan ayrımı iyi yapılmalıdır.
