Amaç: Geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp (GETAT) uygulama merkezine başvuran bireylerin tutumlarını, başvurma nedenlerini ve memnuniyet düzeylerini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tarzda olan bu çalışma, Elazığ Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Akşemseddin Geleneksel ve Tamamlayıcı Tıp Merkezine başvuran gönüllü 261 birey ile Kasım 2017-Mart 2018 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Anket formundan elde edilen veriler SPSS 15.0 paket programına kodlanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemlerin yanı sıra kategorik değişkenler için ki-kare analizi, bağımlı gruplarda ise Wilcoxon işaretli sıralar testi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılanların yaş ortalaması 49,07±14,60 yıl olup; katılımcıların %57,5' i kadın, %28,0'ı üniversite ve üzeri mezunudur. Bireylerin %85,4'ü GETAT uygulamalarının fayda sağlayacağını, %72,8'i bu uygulamaların kendini iyi hissettiren uygulamalar olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Bireylerin GETAT uygulamalarına yönelik tutumlarının olumlu olduğu saptanmıştır. Katılımcıların GETAT uygulamalarına başvuru sebeplerinde ilk sırada; genel sağlık ve iyilik halini artırmak (%19,1), ikinci sırada ağrıları gidermek (%18,9) yer almaktadır. Bireylerin %58,2'sinin GETAT uygulamalarına devam etmeyi düşündüğü, %60,9'unun ise yakın çevrelerine, arkadaşlarına tavsiye etmeyi düşündükleri belirlenmiştir. Bireylerin memnuniyet düzeylerinin olumlu olduğu saptanmıştır. Ağrı ile başvuranların memnuniyet düzeyleri incelendiğinde ağrı skorlarının düştüğü tespit edilmiştir. Bireylerin GETAT uygulama öncesi vizüel analog skala değerleri 7,48±1,35 iken, GETAT uygulamaları sonrası 4,66±2,15'e düştüğü görülmektedir. Sonuç: GETAT uygulamalarına yönelik bireylerin tutumları ve memnuniyet düzeylerinin olumlu olduğu belirlenmiştir. Başvuru sebeplerinde çoğunlukla genel sağlık-iyilik halini artırmak ve ağrının yer aldığı görülmüştür.
