ÖZET
 Amaç: Geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp (GETAT) uygulamalarının kullanımı eski zamanlara dayanmakla birlikte son yıllarda dünyada ve ülkemizde yaygınlaşmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı sağlık müdürlüğünde çalışan personellerin geleneksel, tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp konusunda bilgi ve davranışlarını incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma tanımlayıcı tipte bir araştırma olup, Şubat-Mart 2023 tarihleri arasında Malatya İl Sağlık Müdürlüğünde çalışan 294 personelle yürütülmüştür. Veriler çevrim içi anket yoluyla toplanmıştır. Anket formu, personellerin sosyodemografik özellikleri, GETAT kullanımındaki bilgi ve davranışlarını içeren sorular ile GETAT Tutum Ölçeğinden oluşmaktadır. Veriler SPSS 22.0 programında değerlendirilmiş olup, p<0,05 anlamlılık düzeyi olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Bireylerin %57,1'i GETAT hakkında bilgisi olduğunu, %29,6'sı GETAT uygulaması yaptırdığını ifade etmiştir. Bireyler GETAT hakkında bilgiyi en fazla aile ve arkadaş çevresinden (%59,2), sosyal medyadan (%57,8) ve televizyondan (%31,3) edindiğini belirtmiştir. GETAT uygulamalarından en çok bilinenleri kupa (hacamat) (%82,7), hirudoterapi (sülük) (%73,5), fitoterapi (%57,5) ve akupunkturdur (%57,1). Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin GETAT'a yönelik tutum ölçeği puan ortalaması 22,36±2,99'dur. GETAT hakkında bilgisi olan bireylerin GETAT tutum ölçek puanı anlamlı olarak daha yüksektir. Eğitim düzeyi lisans olan bireylerin GETAT tutum ölçek puanı, lise ve altı ile lisansüstü eğitimi olanlardan anlamlı olarak daha yüksektir (p<0,05). Yaş, cinsiyet, kronik hastalık varlığı ve sağlık durumu ile GETAT tutum ölçeği arasında anlamlı bir ilişki yoktur (p>0,05). Sonuç: Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin GETAT tutum ölçeğine göre aldıkları puanlar orta düzeyde ve olumludur. Bireylerin, GETAT uygulamaları hakkında doğru bilgilendirilmesi önemlidir. Bu kapsamda, çalışmada en fazla bilgi kaynağı olarak aile arkadaş, sosyal medya olarak ifade edilmiştir. Ancak bu alanda uzman sağlık profesyonellerinden bilgi edinilmesi gerekmektedir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: Although the use of traditional and complementary medicine (TCM) practices dates back to ancient times, it has become widespread in the world and in our country in recent years. The aim of the study is to examine the knowledge and behavior of personnel working in the health directorate about traditional, complementary and alternative medicine. Materials and Methods: The study is a descriptive type research and was conducted with 294 personnel working at Malatya Provincial Health Directorate between February and March 2023. Data were collected via online survey. The survey form consists of questions about the socio-demographic characteristics of the personnel, their knowledge and behavior in the use of TCM, and the TCM Attitude Scale. The data were evaluated in the SPSS 22.0 program, and p<0.05 was accepted as the significance level. Results: 57.1% of the individuals stated that they had knowledge about TCM, and 29.6% of them stated that they had TCM application. Individuals stated that they obtained information about TCM mostly from family and friends (59.2%), social media (57.8%) and television (31.3%). The most well-known TCM applications are cupping (cupping) (82.7%), hirudotherapy (leeches) (73.5%), phytotherapy (57.5%) and acupuncture (57.1%). The average attitude scale of the individuals participating in the study towards TCM is 22.36±2.99. Individuals who have knowledge about TCM have significantly higher TCM attitude scale scores. The TCM attitude scale score of individuals with undergraduate education is significantly higher than those with high school education or lower and postgraduate education (p<0.05). There is no significant relationship between age, gender, presence of chronic disease and health status and the TCM attitude scale (p>0.05). Conclusion: It is moderate and positive according to the TCM attitude scale of the individuals participating in the study. It is important that individuals are informed correctly about TCM applications. In this context, the most common sources of information in the study were family, friends and social media. However, it is important to obtain information from healthcare professionals who are experts in this field.
