Résumé
Phytotherapy has emerged as a new concept and has quickly and widely spread in recent years. Studies on phytopharmaceuticals in rheumatology practice are very limited. In this study, we aimed to examine the knowledge of, beliefs about, and practices of using phytotherapy in patients who use biologics due to rheumatological disease. In the first part of the questionnaire, there are 11 questions, including the demographic data of the person, and in the second part, there are 17 questions that aim to learn the level of knowledge about phytotherapy and the use of phytopharmaceuticals. The questionnaire was administered face-to-face to patients with rheumatology using biological therapy who gave consent to participate. A total of 100 patients who were followed up with biological therapy were included in the final analysis. Approximately half of participants (48%) received any phytopharmaceuticals during their biologic treatment. Camellia sinensis (green tea) and Tilia platyphyllos were the most preferred phytopharmaceuticals. Gender, age, smoking, duration of disease, and duration of biologic treatment were not found to be associated with the use of phytopharmaceuticals. Of the 100 participants, 69% had information about phytotherapy, and the primary sources of information about phytotherapy were television and social media. Rheumatological diseases cause chronic pain, multiple drug use, and a decrease in quality of life, so the search for alternative treatment methods is frequent in these patients. Studies with a high level of evidence are necessary for healthcare professionals to inform their patients about this topic.
