Sağlık Yüksekokulu Öğrencilerinin Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tedaviler Hakkındaki Görüş, Bilgi ve Uygulamaları

Amaç: Bu araştırma; sağlık yüksekokulu öğrencilerinin alternatif ve tamamlayıcı uygulamalar hakkındaki bilgi, görüş ve uygulamalarının değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Materyal ve Metod:  Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı tipte kesitsel olarak yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 471 ebelik ve hemşirelik bölümü öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada veriler anket formu aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler (yüzdelik, ortalama, standart sapma) ve çıkarımsal istatistiki yöntemlerden ki-kare testi kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p lt;0,05 olarak alınmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin %90,2’sinin TAT’a yönelik eğitim almadığı ve %28,5’inin TAT kullandığı saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin %82,6’sı TAT konusunun Hemşirelik ve Ebelik Eğitim Müfredatına eklenmesini istediğini belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin %80,1’inin Akupresur, %78,9’unun Reiki,  %74,9’unun Refleksoloji, %73,5’inin Ayurveda, %72,5’inin Tai Chi, %65,0’ının Feng Shui, %64,7’sinin Aromaterapi, %64,6’sının Homeopati konularında bilgisinin olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin TAT kullanma durumu ile cinsiyet ve mezun olunan lise arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır (p gt;0,05). Öğrencilerin okuduğu bölüm, bulunduğu sınıf, TAT konusunda eğitim alma durumu ve TAT konusunun eğitim müfredatına eklenmesini isteme durumu ile TAT kullanım sıklığı arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir fark belirlenmiştir  (p lt;0,05). Sonuç: Öğrencilerin büyük çoğunluğunun TAT konusunda eğitim almadığı,  öğrencilerin yaklaşık üçte birinin TAT yöntemlerinden birini kullandığı, öğrencilerin tat yöntemlerine ilişkin bilgilerinin sınırlı olduğu ve öğrencilerin çoğunluğuna yakınının TAT konusunun eğitim müfredatlarına eklenmesini istediği sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır
