| Aims The research was conducted in a descriptive manner to determine the use of traditional and complementary health practices among adult individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods The sample group of the study consisted of 385 adult individuals aged between 20-65 registered at Mucur Primary Health Care Centers. Data were collected using a “Data Collection Form” prepared by the researchers based on relevant literature review. Number, percentage, and mean were used in the analysis of the data. Results The mean age of the participants was 42.03±13.51, with 54.3% being female and 45.7% male. 66.0% of the individuals believe in the effectiveness of traditional and complementary health practices in COVID-19 disease, and 40.3% stated that they use traditional and complementary health practices every day during the COVID-19 pandemic. The most commonly used phytotherapy method (herbal treatment) during the COVID-19 pandemic by individuals is vitamin, citrus fruits, and garlic. It was found that individuals mostly practice breathing exercises, movement therapies, and music therapy among body and mind practices. Other complementary health approaches practiced by individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic include reading prayers, performing prayers, and seeking amulet-based therapies. Conclusion It is recommended that healthcare professionals collect data on traditional and complementary health practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, and provide education and counseling services to the community on this issue. |
