Özet
Objective: This study aimed to determine the use of complementary and alternative treatment methods in burn wounds among patients who visited the emergency department with burn complaints. Material-Method: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 patients who applied to the emergency department of a training and research hospital with burn complaints. Data were collected using three questionnaires: one on the patients' socio-demographic information, another on the characteristics of the burns, and a third that assessed knowledge and use of complementary treatment methods for burns. Results: It was determined that 32% of the participants were burned due to scalding, with most cases involving 1st and 2nd-degree burns. The participants reported that they were aware of traditional burn treatment methods, including washing with cold water (43.9%), using St. John's wort oil (17%), and applying yogurt (14.6%). The most commonly used methods in burn treatment were cold water (90.8%) and St. John's wort oil (5.7%). Conclusion: It was determined that while participants were aware of various complementary and alternative treatment methods for burn injuries, they did not frequently use these methods.
