Anahtar Kelime: Huzurevinde Kalan Yaşlılarda Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıp Yöntemlerini Kullanma Durumu
Öz: Amaç: Tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp (TAT) yöntemlerinin kullanımı yaşlılar arasında artmıştır. Bakım kalitesini yükseltmek için sağlık profesyonelleri TAT yöntemlerinin kullanımını değerlendirmelidir. Bu çalışma İstanbul’da iki huzurevinde kalan yaşlılarda TAT yöntemlerini kullanma durumunu saptamak amacıyla yapıldı. Materyal ve Metot: Bu çalışma Aralık 2012 ve Mayıs 2013 tarihleri arasında İstanbul’da iki huzurevinde yapıldı. Çalışmanın örneklemini 230 yaşlı birey oluşturdu. Bulgular: Yaşlıların %59,1’i TAT yöntemlerinden birini kullanıyordu. Bitkiler (%55,2) ve bitkisel olmayan destekler (%53,5) en çok kullanılan TAT yöntemleriydi. Ortaokul mezunu, kronik bir hastalığı olan ve düzenli tıbbi tedavi alan yaşlılar arasında TAT kullanım oranı yüksekti (p <0,05). Yaşlıların %65,4’ü TAT kullandığını sağlık personeline bilgi vermemişti. Sonuç: Huzurevinde kalan yaşlılarda TAT kullanımı yaygındı. Bitkisel (maydanoz, sarımsak ve nane) ve bitkisel olmayan destekler (bal, B ve C vitamini) en yaygın kullanılan yöntemlerdir. Ortaokul mezunu, kronik bir hastalığı olan ve düzenli tıbbi tedavi alan yaşlılar TAT kullanımını tercih etmektedir. Yaşlılar genellikle bu yöntemleri kullandıklarını sağlık personeline söylememektedir.
