ÖZET
 Amaç: Bitkisel ürünler çocuklarda hastalıklardan korunmak, hastalıkları tedavi etmek veya tedaviyi desteklemek amacıyla aileler tarafından kullanılmaktadır. Bu araştırmada, çocuklarda bitkisel ürünlerin kullanım gerekçeleri, kullanım sıklığı ve ailelerin bu ürünler hakkındaki bilinç düzeyini tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu araştırma kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında konu ile ilgili literatür taranarak araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan ailelerin demografik özellikleri ve araştırma konusu ile ilgili sorulardan oluşan anket formu kullanılmıştır. Türkiye'nin farklı illerindeki ebeveynlere anketin linki gönderilerek ebeveynlerin araştırmaya katılımı sağlanmıştır. Araştırmaya toplam 620 ebeveyn katılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen verilerin analizi için frekans, yüzde alma teknikleri ve ki-kare testi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %80,3'ü çocuğu için bitkisel ürün kullanmıştır. Katılımcıların 335'i hastalıklardan korumak, 156'sı tedavi, 202'si tıbbi tedaviye destek amacıyla kullandığını belirtmiştir. Katılımcıların %48,9'u bitkisel ürünleri eczaneden temin ettiğini belirtmiş, %38,7'si bitkisel ürünü doktor tavsiyesiyle kullandığını belirtmiştir. Ebeveynlerin çocukları için en çok grip ve soğuk algınlığı, öksürük durumlarında ve bağışıklığı güçlendirmek amacıyla bitkisel ürün kullandığı tespit edilmiştir. Ebeveynlerin çocukları için en çok ıhlamur, nane-limon, zencefil, cadı fındığı, zerdeçal kullandığı saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Ebeveynler çocuklarını hastalıklardan korumak veya hastalıkları tedavi etmek gibi çeşitli amaçlarla ve farklı sıklıklarla bitki ve bitkisel ürünleri kullanmaktadır. Sonuçlarımıza göre ebeveynlerin yarısından fazlası doktor, eczacı gibi sağlık profesyonellerinin tavsiyesi ile bitkisel ürünleri kullanmakta, yaklaşık yarısı da bitkisel ürünleri eczanelerden temin etmektedir. Bitkisel ürün kullanan ebeveynlerin %79,37'si fayda görmüş, yalnızca %0,2'si zarar gördüğünü bildirmiştir. Çocuk sağlığının korunması ve geliştirilmesi için bitki ve bitkisel ürünlerin akılcı kullanımına yönelik yeterli verinin sağlanması, ailelerin ve sağlık personelinin bu konudaki duyarlılığının artırılması önemlidir.

In this study, it was aimed to determine the reasons for using herbal products in children, the frequency of use and the level of awareness of families about these products. Material and Methods: This research is a cross-sectional study. In the collection of research data, a survey form consisting of questions about demographic characteristics of families and research topic, created by the researchers by scanning the literatüre on the subject, was used. Parents' participation in the research was ensured by sending the link of the survey to parents in different provinces of Türkiye. A total of 620 parents participated in the study. For the analysis of the data obtained from the research, frequency, percentage taking techniques and chi-square test were applied. Results: 80.3% of the participants use herbal products for their children. Three hundred thirty five of the participants stated that they use it to prevent diseases, 156 use it for treatment, 202 use it to support medical treatment. 48.9% of the participants stated that they obtained herbal products from the pharmacy, and 38.7% stated that they used the herbal product with the advice of the doctor. It has been determined that parents mostly use herbal products for their children in cases of flu and cold, cough and to strengthen immunity. It was determined that parents mostly used linden, mint-lemon, ginger, witch hazel and turmeric for their children. Conclusion: Parents have used plants and herbal products for various purposes and with different frequencies, such as protecting their children from diseases or treating diseases. According to our results, more than half of the parents used herbal products with the advice of health professionals such as doctors and pharmacists, and about half of them obtained herbal products from pharmacies. 79.37% of parents using herbal products benefited, only 0.2% reported harm. It is important to provide sufficient data for the rational use of plants and herbal products in order to protect and improve child health, and to increase the sensitivity of families and health personnel on this issue.
