dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to examine past experiences related to the use of the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) during the disease process by individuals diagnosed with COVID-19. Content analysis method was used for data analysis. The study consisted of 21 patients diagnosed with COVID-19, who applied to a family health center. The data were collected using an individual information form and a semistructured interview form consisting of open-ended questions. All interviews were recorded with audio recording and transcribed. Three main themes related to the use of CAM by COVID-19 patients and subthemes associated with these main themes were determined (1) while starting to use CAM; (2) experiences of CAM use; and (3) recommending CAM. During using the CAM methods, most of the participants were affected by their circle, they preferred the use of fruit/fruit juice containing vitamin C, they chose affordable and easily accessible methods, they found the methods they used useful, and recommended these methods to others. The CAM use of patients should be questioned in future studies related to COVID-19 by nurses. Nurses should inform patients with COVID-19 accurately about safety, efficacy, indications, and contraindications for CAM methods.en_US
