TI  - Factors Affecting the Attitudes of Individuals with Burn Experience to Using Complementary Treatments
AB  - Objectives: It was aimed to determine the relationship between the use of complementary and alternative therapies in burn treatment and their attitudes towards using complementary therapies. Materials and Methods: Snowball sampling method was used. The study was completed with 500 individuals who experienced burns. Data were collected using an introductory information form and an attitude towards using complementary therapies scale. Descriptive statistics such as number, percentage, mean, standard deviation and student’s t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple linear regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data. Results: The mean age was 30.37±12.09, 72.8% of the individuals were between the ages of 18-35 and 75.8% were female. 54.8% of the individuals stated that they had not received training on burns before, and 78.6% reported they used traditional treatment for burns. 57.6% of the individuals reported they used traditional methods to reduce post-burn pain. It was found that the most effective predictor of attitude towards complementary therapy was education and it predicted change at a rate of 15.7% (β=-0.157, p<0.001). The degree of burns accounts for 12.1% of the change in the attitude towards complementary therapy, the use of complementary therapy in burns 11.5%, the age of 10.5%, and the training in burn care 9.4%. Conclusion: It is important to use the practices recommended by health professionals and avoid harmful practices in order to prevent burn wound infections, contribute to the healing process and reduce complications.
