| Abstract: | The traditional practices for gynecologic complaints of Turkish women were
examined. The research population was comprised of patients admitted to the
gynecology service at Health Ministry Ege Obstetrics and Gynecology Teaching
Hospital. The sample included 143 gynecologic patients hospitalized for
treatment between the ages of 18 and 59 yrs who agreed to participate. A
questionnaire form was used for data collection in the research that was
developed by the investigators according to related literature. It was used for
data collection in face-to-face (revized) interviews with the women. It was found that, of the women with gynecological
problems who were within the scope of the research, 23.8% employed traditional
practices and used herbal products for gynecological complaints. |
