It should be known why and for what purpose complementary and alternative medicine applications, which are accepted by a large part of the society, are used. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practices in patients with COPD and factors affecting this condition. Methods: This study designed as a descriptive study research was conducted in 244 patients with COPD. Data were collected using the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire [BMQ-Turkish Translation (BMQ-T)] and Morisky Green Levine Medication Adherence Scale (MGLS). Results: It was found that patients with higher scores on the Specific Necessity Subscales of the BMQ-T Scale (β=0.420, p= .03), being unemployed (β=1.234, p= .01), having less income than expenses (β=1.511, p= .02) and having frequent exacerbations in the last year (β=0.367, p= .02) affected the use of CAM according to multivariate regression analysis. Conclusion: It was revealed that having the belief in the necessity of medications, being unemployed, having less income than expenses, and having frequent COPD exacerbations were the most influential factors affecting the use of CAM. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
