Mide kanserli hastalarda tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp yaklaşımlarının kullanımı
Abstract
Kanser, günümüzde en yaygın görülen ve her yaştan insanı etkileyebilen çok sayıda alt türü olan bir hastalık grubudur. Kesin tedavisinin olmaması ve belirli bir aşamadan sonra mortalite ile sonuçlanması dolayısıyla kanser hastalığı birçok hastalıktan farklı olarak fiziksel ve biyolojik etkilerin yanında psiko-sosyal bir çöküntüye de yol açmaktadır. Günümüzde kemoterapi, radyoterapi, cerrahi tedavi, ilaç tedavileri gibi birçok tedavisinin olmasına karşın tedavisinde kesinliğin olmaması insanları takviye nitelikli birçok alternatif tedavi yaklaşımları yönlendirmektedir. Alternatif tedavi adıyla yaygınlaşan bu yaklaşımlar birçok hastalığın tedavisinde başvurulan yöntemler olmasına karşın kanser hastalığının tedavisinde daha sık başvurulan yöntemler olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu araştırmada mide kanseri tanısı konmuş 593 hastadan Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıp Yaklaşımları Ölçeği ve Nightingale Semptom Değerlendirme Ölçeği (N-SDÖ) veri toplama araçları ile veriler toplanmış, SPSS 21.0 versiyon ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre hastalar başta dine ve kültüre dayalı uygulamalarla bitkisel ve beslenme tedavileri olmak üzere çok sayıda alternatif tedavi yöntemine başvurmaktadır. Hastalar alternatif tedavilere takviye bir tedavi olarak bakmakta ve özellikle dine ve kültüre yönelik uygulamalarla bitkisel tedavilerin sağladığı rahatlama ile kendini daha iyi hissetmektedir.
