Öz Psoriazis ve akne vulgaris hastalarında tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedavi kullanımının değerlendirilmesi Evaluation of the use of complementary and alternative therapy in patients with psoriasis and acne vulgaris Turkderm-Turk Arch Dermatol Venereology 2019;53:60-4 DOI: 10.4274/turkderm.galenos.2018.34966 Didem Mullaaziz, Vahide Baysal Akkaya*, İjlal Erturan* Background and Design: The aim of this study was to explore the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapy in patients with acne vulgaris (AV) and psoriasis and their attitudes towards CAM. Materials and Methods: A total of 300 patients, including 150 patients with AV and 150 patients with psoriasis, were included in the study. The patients were randomly selected among the patients who were admitted to dermatology outpatient clinic. A face-to-face structured questionnaire about CAM was applied to the participants. The data obtained were expressed as mean ± standard deviation or number and percentage distribution. Chi-square test, t-test and Spearman correlation were used. Results: The most frequently used CAM treatment method was “herbal therapy” (52.7%). It was determined that most of the patients (87.8%) using CAM had experienced side effects from the medical treatment. Conclusion: CAM has been widely used in patients with AV and psoriasis despite dissatisfaction. Dermatologists should be aware of the tendency of patients to use non-traditional therapies and should guide patients to access the benefits and risks of CAM use.
