Kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı tanısı almış bireylerin integratif yöntemleri kullanma durumu ve umutsuzluk düzeyleri ile ilişkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Kronik hastalıkların artması semptom yönetiminde integratif yöntemlerin kullanımını önemli ölçüde arttırmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Kronik Obstrüktif Akciğer Hastalığı (KOAH) olan bireylerin integratif uygulamaları kullanımını ve umutsuzluk düzeylerini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı nitelikteki bu çalışma, bir devlet hastanesinin göğüs hastalıkları hizmetlerinde yürütülmüştür. Veriler Anket Formu ve Beck’in Umutsuzluk Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların %29,7'sinin integratif uygulamaları kullandığı, en sık görülen integratif uygulamaların bitkisel yöntemler olduğu (%66,2) saptandı. İntegratif uygulamaları kullanan grubun umutsuzluk düzeyi yüksekti, ancak gruplar arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi. Katılımcılar integratif uygulamaların kullanımı ile ilgili bilgiyi TV, radyo ve magazinden aldığı ve intagratif uygulamları en fazla semptom yönetiminde kullandıkları belirlenmiştir.
Sonuç: En sık görülen integratif uygulamalar bitkisel yöntemlerin olduğu, ayrıca umutsuzluk düzeyinin integratif uygulama kullanımını etkilemediği belirlenmiştir. Bu bulguların sonuçları doğrultusunda, integratif uygulama nedenlerini tanımlamak ve sağlık profesyonellerinin bu alanda hastalara eğitim vermesi önerilebilir.
