Özet:

 Objective: Further information is needed about the use of traditional and complementary medicine TCM practices. The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of use of traditional and complementary medicine by individuals living in Bitlis, Turkey and the affecting factors. Material and Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The research was conducted with female276, male187 463 people aged 18 and over who applied to a family health center in Bitlis, Turkey, for various reasons, between 15 March to 15 May 2018. Results: The mean age of the individuals participating in the study was 29.2511.32 range 18-95 years. The frequencies of the ten most frequently used methods in TCM; 28.9 were herbs, 28.7 prayer, 21.4 nutritional support, 10.8 massage therapy, 9.5 music therapy, 4.8 cupping, 4.3 leech therapy, 4.1 homeopathy, 3.6 yoga, 3.7 acupuncture. The difference between gender, having a chronic disease and profession and reporting the traditional and complementary medicine method to the doctor is statistically significant. The difference between health assessment, regular drug use and the side effect status of the TCM method is statistically significant. The difference between the regular use of medicine and the reason for using the traditional and complementary medicine method is statistically significant. Conclusion: Traditional and complementary medicine practices are not fully integrated into the health system and use and side effects are not recorded. Practices should be integrated into the health system and performed by trained practitioners, and practices that are not subject to supervision should be avoided.

 Amaç: Geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp GETAT uygulamaları kullanımına ilişkin daha fazla bilgiye ihtiyaç vardır. Bu araştırmanın amacı; Türkiyenin Bitlis ilinde yaşayan bireylerin GETAT kullanım sıklığı ve etkileyen faktörleri saptamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı tipte kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Araştırma, 15 Mart-15 Mayıs 2018 tarihleri arasında Türkiyede Bitlis ilinde bir Aile Sağlığı Merkezine çeşitli nedenlerle başvuran 18 yaş üstü kadın276, erkek187 toplam 463 katılımcı ile yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan bireylerin yaş ortalaması 29.2511.32dir. 18-95 yaş aralığı Geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp içinde en sık kullanılan on yöntemin sıklıkları; 28.9u bitkiler, 28.7si dua, namaz, 21.4ü besin desteği, 10.8i masaj terapisi, 9.5i müzik terapisi, 4.8i kupa çekme, 4.3ü sülük tedavisi, 4.1i homeopati, 3.6sı yoga, 3.7si akupunktur şeklindedir. Cinsiyet, kronik hastalığı olma ve meslek ile GETAT yöntemini doktora bildirme durumu arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır. Sağlığını değerlendirme, düzenli ilaç kullanma ile GETAT yönteminin yan etki durumu arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır. Düzenli ilaç kullanma ile GETAT yönteminin kullanılma nedeni arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır. Sonuç: Geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp uygulamaları sağlık sistemine tam olarak entegre olmayıp kullanım ve yan etkiler kayıt altına alınmamaktadır. Uygulamalar sağlık sistemine entegre edilmeli, eğitimli uygulayıcılar tarafından yapılmalı ve denetime tabi olmayan uygulamaların önüne geçilmelidir.
