ÖZET
 Amaç: Günümüzde insanların tamamlayıcı tedavilere ilişkin hızla artan ilgisinin, bireylerin sağlık algıları ile ilişkili olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu nedenle çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin tamamlayıcı tedavileri kullanmaya yönelik tutumları ve sağlık algıları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma 294 öğrencinin katılımıyla Google Anketler yöntemiyle çevrim içi olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 21.0 programı kullanılarak frekans, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, Student t-testi, ANOVA ve Pearson kolerasyon analizi yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %71,8'inin tamamlayıcı tedavi yöntemi kullanmadığı, %26,9'unun bitkisel tedavileri kullandığı bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin sağlık algısı puan ortalamalarının orta düzeyde, tamamlayıcı tedavileri kullanmaya yönelik tutumu olumlu yönde ve puan ortalaması orta düzeyde bulunmuştur. Sağlığın önemi alt boyutunun öğrencilerin okudukları bölüme göre; kesinlik ve algılanan sağlık boyutunun gelir durumuna göre anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği bulunmuştur. Sağlığın önemi boyutu nun sağlık problemi olmayanlarda anlamlı fark gösterdiği; kesinlik, sağ lığın önemi ve öz farkındalık alt boyutunun sürekli kullandığı bir ilaç olmayanlarda anlamlı fark gösterdiği bulunmuştur. Daha önce tamamlayıcı tedavi kullananların tamamlayıcı tedavilere yönelik olumlu tutumları olduğu bulunmuştur. Tamamlayıcı tedavileri kullanmaya yönelik tutum ile sağlığın önemi alt boyutu ve öz farkındalık alt boyutu arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Tamamlayıcı tedavilere ilişkin daha fazla çalışmanın yapılarak bilimsel kanıtların artırılması, ders müfredatlarına tamamlayıcı tedavilere ilişkin derslerin eklenmesi önerilmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Tamamlayıcı tedavi; sağlık tutumu; sağlık eğitimi; öğrenciler
