Amaç: Astımlı çocuğu olan ailelerin astım konusundaki bilgi düzeyleri, geleneksel tamamlayıcı tedavi (GTT) uygulamaları astım kontrolünü ve astımın şiddetini etkileyebilmektedir. Bu doğrultuda bu çalışma, astımlı çocukların ailelerinin GTT kullanımını ve hastalığa yönelik bilgi düzeylerinin astım kontrolüne etkisini belirlemek amacı ile yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte olan bu çalışma, Şubat-Haziran 2019 tarihleri arasında Ankara'da yer alan bir eğitim araştırma hastanesinin çocuk alerji ve astım ünitesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini 5 yaş altında, en az 1 yıl önce astım tanısı alan ve astım tanısı dışında farklı bir kronik hastalığı olmayan çocuğa sahip 107 anne oluşturmuştur. Çalışmada, araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan veri toplama formu ve Çocuklar İçin Solunum ve Astım Kontrol Testi (ÇİSAKT) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmamızın sonucunda annelerin %32,7'si GTT kullandıklarını ifade etmiştir. GTT kullanan 62 kişinin %70,1'i aromaterapi (uçucu yağlar), %60'ı bitkisel ürünler (arı sütü, bal, zencefil, keçiboynuzu, pekmez vb.), %31,6'sı nefes alma teknikleri, %8,8'i müzik terapi ve %3,5'i yoga terapiyi kullanmaktadır. Çalışan ve gelir düzeyi yüksek ailelerde GTT kullanım oranı artmaktadır. Çocuklarında gece öksürüğü, hırıltı, nefes darlığı, balgamlı öksürük, boğaz ağrısı problemleri olan ailelerde GTT kullanımın daha fazla olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0,05). ÇİSAKT sonucuna göre, kontrollü olan gruptaki çocuklarda GTT kullanımı anlamlı derecede daha azdır. Ayrıca, ÇİSAKT'ye göre kontrollü olan grupta astıma yönelik bilgi düzey puan ortalaması daha yüksektir. Sonuç: GTT kullanımı astım kontrolünü etkilemektedir. Ailelerin GTT kullanımı konusunda bilgi sahibi olması ve astım ile gerekli eğitimlerin verilmesi, astım kontrolünün sağlanması açısından önemlidir.

Objective: The knowledge of asthmatic children's parents about asthma and traditional complementary treatment (TCT) methods may influence the control and severity of asthma. In this regard, the present study was carried out in order to determine TCT use of asthmatic children's parents and the level of their knowledge about the disease. Material and Methods: Having a descriptive and cross-sectional design, the present study was carried out between February-June 2019 in a pediatric allergy and asthma unit of a training and research hospital located in Ankara. The sample consisted of 107 mothers having child aged <5 years, diagnosed with asthma minimum 1 year ago, and having no chronic disease other than asthma. In this study, the data collection form and Respiration and Asthma Control Test for Children (RACTC) prepared by the researchers were used. Results: As a result of this study, 32.7% of the mothers stated that they use TCT methods. Among 62 participants using TCT, 70.1% were using aromatherapy (essential oils), 60% were using herbal products (royal jelly, honey, ginger, carob, molasses, and etc.), 31.6% were using breathing methods, 8.8% were using music therapy, and 3.5% were using yoga therapy. The level of TCT use increases among the working females with a higher income level. It was determined that the use of TCT was at higher level among the families of children having night cough, wheezing, labored breathing, and sore throat problems (p<0.05). According to the results of RACTC, the level of TCT use was significantly lower in the controlled group of children. Moreover, according to RACTC, the level of knowledge about asthma was higher in the controlled group. Conclusion: The use of TCT affects the control of asthma. In order to ensure the asthma control, it is very important for the families to have knowledge about the use of TCT and to have education about asthma.
