Özet:

 Aim: This study was carried out to define the use of complementary and alternative therapies CAM in the Covid-19 pandemic of midwifery students and to evaluate the effect on their quality of life. Methods: The sample of the research in the descriptive and correlational design consisted of 175 students who were studying in the midwifery department of a public university and volunteered to participate in the research. Participation Rate: 56. Data were collected with the Personal Information Form, Attitudes Toward Complementary and Alternative Medicine Scale ATCAMS, and WHOQOL BREF Quality of Life Scale. Descriptive statistics, Kruskal Wallis Test and Mann Whitney U were used to evaluate the data. Results: It was determined that the average age of the students participating in the research was 21.362.26, 43.4 of the students had Covid 19 infection, while 34.3 of them lost a relative due to Covid 19 infection. During the pandemic process, 87.2 of the students used any CAM method and among the methods used were mostly vitamin C supplementation 47.7, praying 42.1, garlic 39.5, honey 37.7. 4 and ginger use 34.4. It was determined that the students ATCAMS mean score was 30.804.88. While it was determined that the midwife candidates, the presence of a family member using CAM and the status of receiving CAM training, significantly differed the ATCAMS score averages, it was determined that class level, income status and Covid-19 infection did not significantly affect the ATCAMS score averages. A negative significant correlation was found between ATCAMS and WHOQOL-BREF sub-dimension psychological, environmental and social quality of life score averages. Conclusion and Recommendations: It was determined that midwifery students attitudes towards complementary and alternative medicine were positive and moderate. In addition, it was determined that the attitude to CAM methods significantly affects the psychological, environmental and social quality of life.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, Covid-19 pandemisinde ebelik öğrencilerinin tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedavileri TAT kullanma durumları ve yaşam kalitesine etkisinin saptanması amacıyla yürütüldü. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve korelasyonel desendeki araştırmanın örneklemini, bir kamu üniversitesinin Ebelik bölümünde öğrenim gören ve çalışmaya katılmak için gönüllü olan 175 öğrenci oluşturdu. Veriler, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıbba Karşı Tutum Ölçeği TATKTÖ, WHOQOL BREF Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği ile toplandı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Mann Whitney U ve Kruskal Wallis Testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalamasının 21.362.26 olduğu, öğrencilerin 43.4ünün Covid-19 enfeksiyonunu geçirdiği belirlenirken, 34.3ünün ise Covid-19 enfeksiyonu nedeniyle bir yakınının kaybettiği belirlendi. Pandemi sürecinde öğrencilerin 87.2sinin bir TAT yöntemi kullandığı ve kullanılan yöntemler arasında çoğunlukla C vitamini desteği 47.7, dua etme 42.1, sarımsak 39.5, bal 37.4 ve zencefil kullanımı 34.4 yer aldığı saptandı. Öğrencilerin TATKTÖ puan ortalamasının 30.804.88 olduğu belirlendi. Ebe adaylarının, ailede TAT kullanan bireyin bulunması ve TAT eğitimi alma durumu değişkenlerinin TATKTÖ puan ortalamalarını anlamlı olarak farklılaştırdığı belirlenirken, gelir durumu, sınıf düzeyi ve Covid-19 geçirme durumunun TATKTÖ puan ortalamalarını anlamlı olarak etkilemediği belirlendi. TATKTÖ ile WHOQOL-BREF alt boyut psikolojik, çevresel ve sosyal yaşam kalitesi puan ortalamaları arasında negatif düzeyde anlamlı ilişki saptandı. Sonuçlar ve Öneriler: Ebelik öğrencilerinin TATa yönelik tutumlarının pozitif ve orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, TAT yöntemlerine tutumun psikolojik, çevresel ve sosyal yaşam kalitesini anlamlı olarak etkilediği belirlenmiştir.
