Kronik Obstrüktif Akciğer Hastalarda Geleneksel ve Tamamlayıcı Tıp Yöntemi Kullanımlarının Değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığında (KOAH) semptomların hafifletilmesinde Geleneksel ve Tamamlayıcı Tıp (GETAT) yöntemlerinin kullanımı giderek artmaktadır. KOAH hastalarının GETAT yöntemlerini kullanım durumlarının belirlenmesini amaçladık. Materyal ve Metot: Göğüs hastalıkları polikliniğine Aralık 2018 ve Şubat 2019 tarihleri arasında başvuran KOAH hastaları çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastalara GETAT yöntemleri hakkındaki eğilimlerini ölçen sorular yöneltildi, demografik verileri kaydedildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 94 hastanın yaş ortalaması 65,6±10,0 (minimum: 42, maksimum: 84 yıl) olup vakaların %84’ü erkek (n=79), %16’sı (n=15) kadındı. Hastaların %39,4’ü (n=37) GETAT yöntemlerinden birini kullandığını ve kullanan hastaların %70,3’ü (n=26) yarar gördüğünü ifade etmişlerdi. Bitkisel, apiterapi, apiterapi ve bitkisel tedavileri birlikte kullananlar ve aromaterapi yöntem oranları sırasıyla %73, %8,1, %10,8, %8,1 olarak bulundu. Hastaların %82,2’sinin (n=74) GETAT yöntemleri ile ilgili hekiminden bilgi almak istediği görüldü. KOAH hastaları evrelerine göre ayrıldığında, ileri evre (evre 3-4) hastalarının erken evre ( evre 1-2) hastalara göre GETAT yöntemini daha çok kullandığı gözlendi (p=0,004). Sonuç: Sağlık personeli tarafından GETAT yöntemlerini kullanım durumlarının sorgulanması gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.

Evaluation of Traditional and Complementary Medicine Uses in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Patients

Objective: The use of traditional and complementary medicine (TCAM) methods for the alleviation of symptoms in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is increasing. We aimed to determine the use of TCAM methods in COPD patients. Materials and Methods: Patients with COPD who were admitted pulmonary diseases clinic between December 2018-February 2019 were included to study. Patients were asked questions measuring their tendency about TCAM methods and demographic data were recorded. Results: The mean age of the 94 patients was 65.6±10.0 (min:42, max:84) and 84% (79) of the participants was male, 16% (n=15) was female. 39.4% (n=37) of the patients declared that they was used at least one TCAM methods and 70.3% (n=26) of them have benefit from this method. Herbal, apitherapy, apitherapy and herbal treatments together and aromatherapy method rates were 73%, 8.1%, 10.8%, 8.1% respectively. It was seen that 82.2% (n=74) of the patients wanted to get information from their physician about TCAM methods. When patients were divided into groups according to their stages; it was observed that late stage (end and severe stage) patients used TCAM method more than early and moderate stage (p=0.004). Conclusion: We think that the use of TCAM methods should be questioned by the health personnel.
