Knowledge, Attitudes and Opinions of Physicians on Cups Treatment

Öz:

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the knowledge, attitudes and thoughts of physicians about complementary medicine and cupping therapy in particular. Material-Method: Between October 1, 2018 and December 10, 2018, a questionnaire consisting of 27 questions was applied face-to-face to 435 physicians working in various health institutions in Ankara and who agreed to participate in the survey voluntarily. Chi-square analysis and logistic regression analysis methods were used in the evaluation of the data. The significance level was taken as 0.05 in the interpretation of the results. Results: The person's liking to practice medicine, having sufficient knowledge about traditional medicine, receiving training on traditional medicine, practicing traditional medicine, having him and his relatives practice traditional medicine, having positive and negative knowledge and experience about cupping, are effective in welcoming cupping practice positively (p<0.05). Conclusion: In line with the findings of our study, most of the physicians think that they have insufficient knowledge about traditional and complementary medicine practices. In order to fill this gap, it can be considered to focus on pre-graduate and post-graduate education programs. By increasing the theoretical and practical applications related to traditional and complementary medicine methods, physicians can be placed at the center of these applications. As the use of traditional and complementary medicine treatment methods becomes more common in society, healthcare professionals have a great responsibility to inform the patients and to administer the treatments correctly.
