Koronavirüsü Salgınında Tüketicilerin Tıbbi ve Aromatik Bitkileri Tüketim Alışkanlıkları

Türkiye’de koronavirüs süreci ile hızla değişen yaşam koşulları insanların normal yaşantılarını, rutin beslenme, dinlenme, alışveriş vb. alışkanlıklarını değiştirmiş onları farklı arayışlara itmiştir. Bu doğrultuda yapılan araştırmada tüketicilerin tıbbi ve aromatik bitkiler (TAB) tüketim tercihlerine ilişkin verilerin elde edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. 2020 yılı sonbahar aylarında anket çalışması yapılmış, tüketicilerin tıbbi ve aromatik bitkilerin tüketimlerinde etkili olan seçim ve yaklaşımları ile ilgili yargıları anketlerle elde edilen veriler ışığında tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve logit regresyon modeli ile tahmin edilmiştir. Koranavirüs salgınının tıbbi ve aromatik bitki tüketimini %76 oranında artırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Pandemi döneminde en çok tüketilen bitkiler kuşburnu, ıhlamur, nane ve zencefil olarak belirlenmiştir. Aylık miktar olarak en fazla tüketilen bitkiler ise yeşilçay ve udhindi olmuştur. Logit regresyon analiz sonuçlarına göre yaş, tıbbi ve aromatık bitki kullanım süresi, tıbbi ve aromatik bitki fiyatı, tıbbi ve aromatik bitkiyi faydalı bulma, yan etki, kimyasala erişim, katkı maddesi ve umut değişkenlerinin salgın süresince tıbbi ve aromatik bitki tüketimini ve satın alınma olasılığını artırdığı belirlenmiştir. Salgın önlenebilene kadar tıbbi ve aromatik bitki tüketiminin yaygınlaşacağı ve artacağı düşünülmektedir.
