目的探讨更年期潮热的补充和替代治疗方法。方法根据视觉模拟量表（VAS）报告不适程度为4或以上的潮热不适的妇女被纳入研究（n:356）。数据收集采用问卷调查和补充替代医学方法量表。结果女性平均年龄为56.65±6.05岁，绝经年龄为46.39±5.25岁。根据VAS评分，潮热的平均严重程度为7.85±1.83。患有肥胖症和慢性病的女性更容易出现潮热。确定73.6%的绝经期妇女使用补充和替代医学（CAM）。研究确定，女性使用草药补充剂、膳食补充剂、身心练习和宗教练习来对抗潮热带来的不适。72%使用CAM的妇女表示所使用的方法是有效的。结论妇女在使用辅助生殖医学时，往往不具备卫生专业知识，信息匮乏。建议对妇女使用的辅助生殖方法和作用机制进行广泛的研究。
Objective Study was planned to determine complementary and alternative treatment methods for menopausal hot flashes. Methods Women who reported their discomfort of hot flashes as a degree of discomfort of 4 or more according to the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were included in the study (n:356). In data collection, Questionnaire Form and Complementary and Alternative Medicine Approaches Scale were used. Results The average age of the women was 56.65±6.05 and the average age of menopause was 46.39±5.25. According to VAS, the average severity of hot flashes was 7.85±1.83. Women with obesity and any chronic disease were more likely to have hot flashes. It was determined that 73.6% of women in the menopausal period were using Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). It was determined that women were using herbal supplements, dietary supplements, mind-body practices and religious practices against the discomfort of hot flashes. 72% of women using CAM stated that the method used was effective. Conclusion Women who use CAM usually use it with information that is out of the knowledge of health profession and lack of information. It is recommended to carry out extensive studies for CAM methods and the mechanisms of action that women use.
