Özet:

 The aim of this study is to determine the perspectives of certified hypnotherapists in Turkey regarding hypnosis practices, the methods they use, their personal experiences, fields of professional practice, challenges they encounter, and their academic training. A survey form was sent via WhatsApp and SMS to accessible hypnosis practitioners. A total of 195 participants with Turkish Ministry of Health-approved certificates were included in the study. Of the participants, 56.9 were women. The number of people practicing hypnosis has significantly increased in the past 10 years, with more than two-thirds of all practitioners beginning within this period, and half of them starting in the last four years. Only 4.6 of certified hypnotherapists are not practicing hypnosis. Additionally, 41 work in private practice. Almost half of the participants perform hypnosis on fewer than 10 patients per month, while one-quarter of them treat 10 to 50 patients monthly. Negative side effects were reported to be rare, with headaches being the most common adverse effect 50. The most frequently mentioned challenges were difficulties in establishing rapport and overcoming prejudices. A total of 14.9 of participants reported practicing self-hypnosis before sessions. The number of public sector physicians was higher than other Professional groups P0.015. Psychologists were more likely to practice online hypnosis compared to other professions P0.043. The majority of hypnotherapists in Türkiye are physicians, and online hypnosis is practiced at a significant rate. Most certified participants actively practice hypnosis, primarily for anxiety management. Traditional classical hypnosis and Ericksonian approaches are common. The use of hypnosis remains low in gynecology, obstetrics, and dental clinics. We believe that with appropriate clinical environments and training, the practice of hypnosis will increase.

 Bu çalışmada amaç, Türkiyedeki sertifikalı hipnoterapistlerin, hipnoz uygulamalarına bakışı, kullandıkları yöntemler, kişisel deneyim, mesleki uygulama alanları, yaşadıkları zorlukları ve akademik eğitimlerini belirlemektir. Katılımcılara WhatsApp ve SMS aracılığı ile anket formu gönderildi. Araştırmaya Sağlık Bakanlığı onaylı sertifika sahibi 195 katılımcı dahil oldu. Katılımcıların 56,9u kadındı. Son 10 yıldır hipnoz uygulayanların sayısı oldukça artmıştır, Tüm uygulayıcıların 23ünden fazlası son 10 yılda uygularken bunların yarısı da 4 yıl içinde uygulamaya başlamıştır. Sertifika sahibi hipnoterapistlerin sadece 4,6sı hipnoz uygulamamaktadır. 41i özel muayenede çalışmaktadır. Katılımcıların neredeyse yarısı, ayda 10 hastadan daha az uygulama yaparken, ¼ü 10-50 hastaya hipnoz uygulamaktadır. Karşılaşılan olumsuz etki çok azdı, bu etkilerden de en fazla olan baş ağrısı idi 50, Yaşanan zorluklar sorulduğunda en fazla rapport ve ön yargı sorunu belirtilmiştir. Katılımcıların 14,9u seans öncesi kendine self hipnoz uyguluyordu. Kamuda çalışan hekim sayısı diğer meslek gruplarına göre daha yüksekti P0,015. Diğer meslek gruplarına göre, psikologlar daha fazla online hipnoz uyguluyor idi P0,043. Türkiyede hipnotistlerin çoğunluğu hekimlerden oluşmaktadır ve online hipnoz uygulaması azımsanmayacak kadar çoktur. Sertifika sahibi katılımcıların çoğu hipnoz uygulamaktadırlar. En çok anksiyete amacı ile kullanılmaktadır. Geleneksel klasik hipnoz ve Ericksonian yaklaşım yaygındır. Kadın doğum hastalıkları ve doğum ile diş kliniklerinde hala kullanım çok az görülmektedir. Hipnoz eğitimi ile birlikte klinik uygun ortam sağlandığında hipnoz uygulamalarının artacağını düşünüyoruz.
