Amaç: Pediatri hemşirelerinin geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp uygulamalarına yönelik bilgi ve tutumlarının incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmanın evrenini, bir çocuk hastanesinde çalışan 178 hemşire, örneklemini çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 117 (%65,7) hemşire oluşturmuştur. Çalışma kesitsel tanımlayıcı tipte bir araştırma olup, veriler 01.06.2019-01.08.2019 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Araştırmada, 'Hemşire Tanıtım Formu', 'Geleneksel ve Tamamlayıcı Tıp Uygulamaları Bilgi Formu' ve 'Geleneksel ve Tamamlayıcı Tıp Tutum Ölçeği' kullanılarak veri toplanmıştır. Veri analizinde sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, Mann-Whitney U testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması 31,05±7,80 yıl olup; %62'si lisans mezunu, %91,5'i kadın ve %47'si 1-5 yıl arasında çocuk servisinde çalışmaktadır. Pediatri hemşirelerinin geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemlerinden en çok bildikleri ilk 5 yöntemin; dua/namaz (%10,6), masaj (%10,4), yoga (%10) akupunktur (%8,7) ve refleksoloji (%6,8) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin %26,9'unun geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp uygulamalarından masajı uyguladıkları, %23,3'ünün hasta çocuk ve ailelerine masajı önerdiği saptanmıştır. Hemşirelerin %42,2'si hastanede yatan çocuk ve ailelerinin dua/namazı kullandıklarını gözledikleri belirlenmiştir. Pediatri hemşirelerinin geleneksel tamamlayıcı tıp tutum ölçeği toplam puan ortalamalarının 112,01±20,07 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çocuk kliniğinde severek çalışan ve geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıp uygulamalarını çocuk hasta ve ailelerine öneren hemşirelerin ölçek toplam puan ortalamalarının daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0,05). Sonuç: Geleneksel tamamlayıcı tıp tutum ölçeği puan ortalamaları ortalama değerin üzerinde olduğundan, pediatri hemşirelerinin tutumları olumlu olarak değerlendirilmiştir.

Objective: This study was conducted to examine the knowledge and attitudes of pediatric nurses towards traditional and complementary medicine practices. Material and Methods: The population of the study consisted of 178 nurses working in a pediatric hospital. The sample consisted of 117 (65.7%) nurses who agreed to participate in the study. The study was a cross-sectional descriptive study and the data were collected between 01.06.2019-01.08.2019. The data were collected by using 'Nurse Sociodemographic Data Form' 'Traditional and Complementary Medicine Practices Information Form' and 'Complementary, Alternative and Conventional Medicine Attitude Scale-CACMAS'. Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U test were used for data analysis. Results: The mean age of the nurses participating in the study was 31.05±7.80, 62% of them were bachelor's degree, 91.5% were women and 47% were working in the pediatric service between 1-5 years. Among the traditional and complementary medicine methods of pediatric nurses, prayer (10.6%), massage (10.4%), yoga (10%), acupuncture (8.7%) and reflexology (6.8%) were the first five methods. It was found that 26.9% of the nurses applied the massage from traditional and complementary medicine practices and 23.3% recommended the massage to the sick child and parents. It was determined that 42.2% of the nurses observed that the hospitalized children and their families used prayer/prayer. The mean score of the pediatric nurses was 112.01±20.07. It was determined that the total scale mean scores of nurses who worked fondly in pediatric clinic were higher (p<0.05). It was determined that the total scale mean scores of nurses recommending traditional and complementary medicine practices to pediatric patients and their parents were higher (p<0.05). Conclusion: Since the mean scores of the traditional complementary medicine attitude scale were above the mean value, the attitudes of pediatric nurses were evaluated as positive.
