Abstract
This paper investigated the effect of spiritual well-being on attitudes toward complementary and alternative medicine. This descriptive and correlational study was conducted in a university hospital in Turkiye. The study population consisted of all patients with type 2 diabetes treated in the hospital. The sample consisted of 250 participants. The sample size was calculated based on the regression results reported by Ben-Arye et al. (2011). Data were collected using a personal information form, the Holistic Complementary and Alternative Medicine Questionnaire and the Three-Factor Spiritual Well-Being Scale. Participants had a mean age of 57.10 ± 6.758 years. They had a mean Body Mass Index of 30.08 ± 4.110. Most patients with type 2 diabetes use alternative methods, such as massage and thyme. There is no correlation between spiritual well-being and Holistic Complementary and Alternative Medicine attitudes. Healthcare professionals should integrate modern and alternative diabetes treatment methods. Patients trained by diabetes education nurses are less likely to make wrong choices about Holistic Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
本文调查了精神健康对补充和替代医学态度的影响。这项描述性和相关性研究是在土耳其的一所大学医院进行的。研究人群包括所有在医院接受治疗的2型糖尿病患者。样本由250名参与者组成。样本量根据Ben-Arye et al.(2011)报告的回归结果计算。数据收集采用个人信息表,整体补充和替代医学问卷和三因素精神健康量表。参与者平均年龄57.10±6.758岁。平均体重指数为30.08±4.110。大多数2型糖尿病患者使用替代方法,如按摩和百里香。精神健康与整体补充和替代医学态度之间没有相关性。医疗保健专业人员应该整合现代和替代糖尿病治疗方法。接受糖尿病教育护士培训的患者在整体补充和替代医学方面做出错误选择的可能性较小。
