Amaç: Tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp (TAT) uygulamaları kullanımının, erişkinlerin yanı sıra pediatrik popülasyonda da arttığı bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada, solunum yolu enfeksiyonu geçiren çocukların ailelerinin uyguladıkları alternatif tedavi yöntemlerinin saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmanın örneklemini, 15.02.2015-15.05.2016 tarihleri arasında, 3 Aile Sağlığı Merkezine ''ateş, öksürük, boğaz ağrısı'' gibi şikâyetlerle başvurup ''solunum yolu enfeksiyonu'' tanısı alan 0-18 yaş grubu çocuklar ile ebeveynleri (n=388) oluşturmuştur. Etik kurul, kurum ve ebeveyn onamı alınan çalışmada, veriler anket formu ile toplanmış olup, değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı testler ve ki kare testi kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel anlamlılık p˂0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan ailelerin %77,1'inin (n=299) solunum yolu enfeksiyonu belirtilerinin tedavisinde ilaç dışı uygulamaları kullandıkları, %75,9'unun ilaç tedavisinden önce TAT kullandığı saptanmıştır. Yüksek ateşte, ebeveynlerin %42,3'ünün duş aldırma, ılık uygulama yaptığı, burun tıkanıklığında %19,6'sının okyanus/deniz suyu damlattığı, öksürükte ballı karışımlar (%23,0) ile pekmezli karışımları (%21,9) tercih ettikleri ve %15,4'ünün hırıltılı solunumda çocuklarına masaj yapmayı ya da sırtına bez koymayı tercih ettikleri belirlenmiştir. Çocuğun yaşı ve son 1 yıl içinde akut solunum yolu enfeksiyonu (ASYE) geçirme durumu ile TAT uygulamaları kullanımı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptandı (p <0,05). Sonuç: ASYE belirtilerinde ailelerin çocuklarında TAT yöntemi kullanma oranlarının yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Pediatri hemşirelerinin hizmet verdikleri toplumda, ebeveynlerin çocuklarında kullandıkları ilaç dışı yöntemleri değerlendirmeleri ve ailelere gerekli eğitim ve danışmanlıkları sağlamaları önerilebilir.

Objective: It is known that the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) applications is increasing in the pediatric population as well as in adults. In this study, it was aimed to determine alternative treatment methods applied by families of children with respiratory tract infections. Material and Methods: The sample of the study was taken from the parents of children aged 0-18 who were diagnosed with ''respiratory infection'' at 3 Family Health Centers with complaints such as ''fever, cough, sore throat'' between 15.02.2015- 15.05.2016 (n=388). Ethics committee, institutional and parental consent was obtained in the study, data were collected with a questionnaire, and descriptive tests and chi-square test were used for evaluation. Statistical significance was accepted as p˂0.05. Results: It was determined that 77.1% (n=299) of the families participating in the study used nonpharmacological applications in the treatment of respiratory tract infection symptoms, and 75.9% used CAM before drug treatment. In high fever, 42.3% of the parents took a shower, warm age, 19.6% of them dropped ocean/sea water in nasal congestion, they preferred honey mixes (23.0%) and molasses mixes (21.9%) in coughing, and 15.4% had their children in wheezing. It has been determined that they prefer massaging or putting a cloth on their back. A statistically significant difference was found between the age of the child and the condition of having acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI) in the last year and the use of CAM applications (p <0.05). Conclusion: It has been determined that the rate of using CAM method in children of families is high in ARTI symptoms. It may be suggested that pediatric nurses evaluate nondrug methods used by parents in their children in the community they serve, and provide necessary education and counseling to families.
