This study investigated the association between quality of life and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum in Turkey.
This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted between October 2017 and July 2018 in Turkey. The sample consisted of 240 pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum. Data were collected using a Demographic Information Form, the Index of Nausea, Vomiting, Retching, and the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey.
The majority (84.2%) of participants stated that they used CAM, mostly "biologically based therapies" (97.5%). They were most satisfied with the "mental and physical treatments" (3.71 ± 1.74). Participants who did not use CAM had a higher quality of life "emotional role" than those who used CAM (p = 0.038). However, there were no statistically significant differences in the other quality of life subscale scores between the two groups.
There is limited evidence for the association between quality of life and CAM use in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum in Turkey. Therefore, more evidence-based research is warranted to evaluate the association between CAM use and quality of life in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum.
本研究调查了土耳其妊娠剧吐孕妇的生活质量与补充和替代医学（CAM）使用之间的关联。
本横断面描述性研究于2017年10月至2018年7月在土耳其进行。样本包括240名妊娠剧吐孕妇。使用人口统计学信息表、恶心、呕吐、干呕指数和36项简短健康调查问卷收集数据。
大多数（84.2%）参与者表示他们使用补充和替代医学，主要是“基于生物的疗法”（97.5%）。他们对“心理和身体治疗”最满意（3.71±1.74）。未使用补充和替代医学的参与者在“情感角色”方面的生活质量高于使用补充和替代医学的参与者（p = 0.038）。然而，两组在其他生活质量子量表得分上没有统计学上的显著差异。
在土耳其，关于妊娠剧吐孕妇的生活质量与补充和替代医学使用之间的关联，证据有限。因此，需要更多基于证据的研究来评估妊娠剧吐孕妇补充和替代医学使用与生活质量之间的关联。
