OBJECTIVE: Societal attitudes among those with access to health services concerning traditional and complementary medicine provide important information for policymakers seeking to understand the quality of these services. Few scales exist in the Turkish language that address this issue. Thus, in this study, the Complementary, Alternative, and Conventional Medicine Attitude Scale (CACMAS) of McFadden et al. was adapted in Turkish , and the validity and reliability of the scale were assessed. 1 MATERIALS AND METHODS: The population of the methodological and descriptive research consists of executive staff working in all units of Sakarya University. In the study, 597 people (79.5%) who accepted to participate were included, with a mean age of 38.91 ± 9.62 years. The psychometric properties of the scale were analyzed and exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, compliance testing, internal consistency, and test-retest analysis were performed. RESULTS: The three subscales of the CACMAS had an internal consistency reliability coefficient of 0.808. Moreover, confirmatory factor analysis of compliance, done using the chi square test, produced a value of 1,644.07 (degrees of freedom (df) = 324; p < 0.001). The root mean square error of approximation, goodness of fit, and adjusted goodness of fit values were 0.090, 0.809, and 0.777, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The CACMAS adapted in Turkish is a valid and reliable scale that can be used in the planning of healthcare services. A limitation of this study was that 82.4% of the participants had an education level above high school, indicating an overall high level of education. Further studies evaluating the validity and reliability of this scale in other Turkish populations are warranted. OZET AMAC: Geleneksel ve tamamlayici tip ile ilgili saglik hizmeti alan toplumlarin tutumlarini saptamak, bu hizmetlerin kalitesini anlamaya calisan politika yapicilar icin onemli bilgiler saglamaktadir. Bu konu ile ilgili cok az sayida Turkce olcek vardir. Bu nedenle, bu calismada, McFadden ve ark.'nin Tamamlayici, Alternatif ve Geleneksel Tip Tutum Olcegi (CACMAS) Turkceye uyarlanmistir. Olcegin gecerliligi ve guvenilirligi degerlendirilmistir. 1 GEREC VE YONTEM: Metodolojik ve tanimlayici nitelikteki arastirmanin evrenini Sakarya Universitesi’nin tum birimlerinde calisan idari personel olusturmaktadir. Katilmayi kabul eden 597 kisinin (% 79,5) yas ortalamasi 38.91 ± 9.62’dir. Olcegin psikometrik ozellikleri analiz edilmis ve aciklayici faktor analizi, dogrulayici faktor analizi, uyum testi, ic tutarlilik ve test-tekrar test analizleri yapilmistir. BULGULAR: Uc alt olcegi olan CACMAS’in ic tutarlilik guvenirlik katsayisi 0.808’dir. Ayrica, dogrulayici faktor analizi uyum indekslerinden ki kare uyum testi 1644,07 (serbestlik derecesi (df) = 324; p <0.001) degeri uretmistir. Ortalama karekok hatasi, uyum iyiligi ve ayarlanmis uyum iyiligi degerleri sirasiyla 0.090, 0.809 ve 0.777 idi. SONUC: Turkceye uyarlanan CACMAS, saglik hizmetlerinin planlanmasinda kullanilabilecek gecerli ve guvenilir bir olcektir. Bu calismanin bir kisitliligi, katilimcilarin % 82.4'unun lisenin uzerinde bir egitim seviyesine sahip olmasidir. Bu olcegin farkli populasyonlarda da Turkce gecerlilik ve guvenilirligini degerlendiren baska calismalar gereklidir.
