ÖZET
 Amaç: Modern tıp uygulamalarını tamamlayan ve destekleyen geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp (GETAT) yöntemleri, sağlıklı bireylerin sağlığının korunması ve geliştirilmesinde ve sağlık sorunu olan bireylerin ise sağlığının iyileştirilmesinde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Amaç, fizyoterapistlerin ve fizyoterapi lisans öğrencilerin GETAT tutumu ve genel öz yeterliliğini karşılaştırmak ve GETAT tutumu ile öz yeterlilikleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Fizyoterapi öğrencileri ve fizyoterapistlerde gerçekleştirilmiş kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Çalışmaya 18 yaş ve üzeri olan gönüllü fizyoterapi öğrencileri ve fizyoterapistler dâhil edildi. Katılımcıların GETAT tutumu ''Geleneksel ve Tamamlayıcı Tıp Tutum Ölçeği'' ile öz yeterlilik ise ''Genel Öz Yeterlilik Ölçeği'' ile değerlendirildi. Katılımcıların GETAT yöntemlerini kullanma durumları ve bilgi düzeyleri sorgulandı. Bulgular: Geleneksel ve Tamamlayıcı Tıp Tutum Ölçeği''nin alt parametreleri gruplar arasında benzerdi (p>0,05). Genel öz yeterlilik skoru fizyoterapistlerde, öğrencilere göre fazla olduğu bulundu (p0,05). Sonuç: Fizyoterapist ve öğrencilerin GETAT uygulamalarına karşı tutumlarının olumlu olduğu ve bu uygulamaları kullanma yönünden grupların benzer olduğu belirlendi. Geleceğin sağlık profesyonelleri olacak fizyoterapi bölümü öğrencilerinin yanı sıra sağlık bilimleri öğrencilerinin de GETAT konusundaki bilgi ve farkındalıklarının artırılması uygun olacaktır.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: Traditional and complementary medicine (TCM) methods, which complement and support modern medical practices, have played an important role in the protection and development of the health of healthy individuals and the improvement of the health of individuals with health problems. The aim is to compare TCM attitudes and general self-efficacy of physiotherapists and students and to examine relationship between TCM attitude and self-efficacy. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted with physiotherapy undergraduate students and physiotherapists. Volunteer physiotherapy students aged 18 and over and physiotherapists were included in the study. Participants' TCM attitude was evaluated with ''Traditional and Complementary Medicine Attitude Scale'', and self-efficacy was evaluated with ''General Self-Efficacy Scale''. Participants' use of TCM methods and level of knowledge were questioned. Results: Subparameters of TCM attitude scale were similar between groups (p<0.05). The general self-efficacy score was found to be higher in physiotherapists than in students (p<0.05). Also, a statistical relationship was found between physiotherapists' dissatisfaction with modern medicine and self-efficacy (p<0.05). When TCM methods and use cases were compared, it was found that the use of acupuncture and osteopathy method were different between the groups (p<0.05), while the other application methods were similar (p>0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that the attitudes of physiotherapists and students towards TCM applications were positive and the groups were similar in terms of using these applications. It would be appropriate to increase the knowledge and awareness of health science students about TCM, as well as the students of the physiotherapy department, who will be the health professionals of the future.
