| Özet |
| Objective: This study aims to assess the use of traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM) practices as well as the attitudes and behaviors of physicians in the health sector regarding T&CM. Material-Method: Our study was planned as a cross-sectional observational study. The researchers created a questionnaire that was applied to the physicians working in our hospital using the facilitated sampling method of a face-to-face interview after they filled out the informed consent form. The data were evaluated using the SPSS program. Results: A total of 236 physicians participated in the study, with a mean working experience of 6.4±7.05 years. Among the participants, 26.3% held ministry-approved T&CM certificates, predominantly for cupping therapy. Slightly more than half of the physicians (54.7%) stated that they recommend T&CM methods to their patients. While 50.4% of physicians reported insufficient scientific evidence on T&CM, 19.5% stated that T&CM methods should only be used as a last resort when modern medicine cannot offer a solution. A statistically significant correlation was found between having a ministry-approved T&CM course certificate and the participants' age and length of practice (p<0.001, p<0.001). However, there was no significant correlation between having a T&CM certificate and the participants' gender or department of medicine (p=0.961, p=0.130). Conclusion: The results of our study indicate that although nearly half of the physicians believe there is insufficient scientific evidence supporting T&CM, slightly more than half still recommend T&CM methods to their patients. |
