    (S. Karger AG, 2023) Tarus, Hamide Arslan; Ölmez Yalazı, Rüveyda; Karadeniz, Hilal; Gürkan, Özlem Can
    Aim: This study aimed to determine traditional and complementary medicines (T&CM) methods used by patients before and after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out between 27 March 2021 and 2 July 2021, in the community health services unit of Düzce Province, Central District, in the western Black Sea region. 547 people participated in the study. Two forms prepared by the researchers, the "Participant Identification Form"and the "Assessment Form for the Use of Traditional and Complementary Medicine Methods,"were used to collect the data. Results: Before the diagnosis of COVID-19, patients reported that they consumed the highest rate of medicinal plants (56.1%) and fruits (40.4%) and prayed (40.4%) to prevent disease. After the diagnosis of COVID-19, they stated that they consumed the highest percentage of medicinal plants (68.4%) and fruit (53.0%) and prayed (48.4%) to reduce disease symptoms. It was seen that herbal products/herbal mixtures (medicinal plants [p < 0.001], fruits [p < 0.001], and fruit vinegars [p < 0.001]), and T&CM methods such as supplements like C, E, D, and other vitamins (p < 0.001), prayer (p < 0.001), massage (p < 0.001), and apitherapy (p < 0.001) were found to be statistically significant after COVID-19 diagnosis compared to before. Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that the patients often used T&CM methods such as herbal products (especially medicinal plants and fruits) and prayer before and after COVID-19 diagnosis, and the use of these T&CM methods increased significantly after diagnosis.

    Purpose: The aim of this study was to adapt the Self -Care Activities Screening Scale in Turkish and to determine its validity and reliability. Material and Methods: The sample of this methodological study conducted during Covid-19 lockdown consists of 140 individuals. For the adaptation of the Self -Care Activities Screening Scale in Turkish, it was translated into Turkish and culturally adapted. Then, the psychometric properties of the scale were evaluated by exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The Self -Care Activities Screening Scale consists of 14 items and four dimensions. The fit indices were found to be satisfactory in the confirmatory factor analysis. The intraclass correlation coefficient of the test -retest reliability was 0.81 and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.85. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Self -Care Activities Screening Scale is a valid and reliable tool that can be used to screen self -care activities in the general population.
