Özet
Amaç: Sigarayı bırakma için tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemlerinin kullanımı son yıllarda giderek artmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Ege üniversitesi tıp öğrencilerinde akupunktur tedavisinin sigara bırakmadaki etkisini değerlendirmektir. Gereç-Yöntem: Çalışmaya Ege üniversitesi tıp fakültesi öğrencileri ve sağlık profesyonellerinden 20 kişi alındı. Hastalara hem vücut hem kulak akupuntur tedavisi uygulandı. Hastalar haftada 1 gün 20 dakika tedavi edildi. Tedaviden sonra 1. ayda tekrar görüldü. Yan etki, semptom profili, sigara içme isteği, tedaviyi tamamlama değerlendirildi. Bulgular: %36.8 oranında sigara bırakma oranına ulaşıldı. Sigara bırakan ve bırakmayan grup karşılaştırıldığında; genç yaş ve düzenli egzersiz alışkanlığı olanların sigara bırakanların lehine istatistiksel anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği görüldü (p<0.05). Diğer değişkenler açısından istatistiksel anlamlı fark gözlenmedi (p>0.05). Sonuç: Akupunktur ile sigara bırakma kısa dönemde etkili ve güvenli bir yöntemdir. Akupunkturun uzun dönem sigara bırakma üzerine etkilerini değerlendirmek için uzun takipli çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
