Abstract		The aim of the research was to get view into dimension and importance of the alternative methods of medical treatment and to find out the relation of the patients of Health community centre Celje to the use of these methods in order to improve the health policy on this field. The following were established: the understanding of the term of alternative medicine, the expansive use of these methods, the motive for beginning the treatment, the source of information about treatment, and the way of practising. We also wanted to know, if the patients contact their family doctor before using the methods of alternative medicine, if the patients abandon their therapy prescribed by their doctor because of the methods of alternative medicine, their doctor's opinion about the method of alternative medicine, the patients' opinion about the effeciency of the methods of alternative medicine. The representative sample of 1650 persons from Celje answered an anonymous quentionnaire containing 12 questions. The sample was separated into groups regarding sex, age and education. 83% of respondents know the term alternative medicine but its interpretation differs. 37% of respondents also use these methods. High educated persons use these methods more for health prevention than less educated people. 61% of respondents didn't consult their family doctor before practising the alternative methods of medical treatment prescribed by their family doctor. 60% of respondents don't know their doctor's opinion about the use of alternative methods of medical treatment. Only 5% of respondents find the use of alternative methods of medical treatment inefficient. Alternative medicine is a social medical phenomenon that should be analysed, observed and effected in order to recognise the risky and protective factors of its use.

Cilji raziskave so ugotoviti: razumevanje in opredelitve pojma alternativna medicina, naklonjenost do uporabe in samo uporabo teh metod, vodilni motiv za pričetek alternativnega zdravljenja, vire informacij, način izvajanja zdravljenja, ali se bolnik pred pričetkom alternativnega zdravljenja posvetuje s svojim osebnim zdravnikom, ali so bolniki zaradi uporabe alternativnih metod zdravljenje opustili terapijo, ki jo je predpisal njihov zdravnik, mnenje bolnikov o odnosu njihovega osebnega zdravnika do alternativnih metod zdravljenja, možne načine vključitve alternativnega zdravljenja v sistem zdravstvenega zavarovanja in mnenje uporabnikov alternativnih metod zdravljenja o učinkovitosti uporabe le-teh. 1650 naključno izbranih oseb iz populacije občine Celje je odgovarjalo na anonimni vprašalnih z dvanajstimi vprašanji. Vzorec je bil razdeljen v skupine glede na spol, starost in izobrazbo. Pojem alternativna medicina pozna 83% anketiranih oseb, različna pa je njegova interpretacija. 37% oseb pa tudi uporablja alternativne metode zdravljenja. Osebe z višjo ali visoko izobrazbo v večji meri uporabljajo alternativne metode zdravljenja zaradi preprečevanja bolezni in varovanja zdravja kakor pa osebe z nižjo ali srednjo izobrazbo. Največja skupina oseb (37%) je priporočila in navodila o uporabi novih metod dobila s pomočjo literature. 61% oseb se pred pričetkom zdravljenja in med njim ni posvetovala s svojim osebnim zdravnikom, ki ga je predpisal njihov osebni zdravnik. Več kot polovica bolnikov (60%) ne ve, kakšen je odnos njihovega osebnega zdravnika do alternativne medicine. Le 28 bolnikov (5%) je dosedanjo uporabo alternativnih metod zdravljenja ocenilo kot učinkovito. (Izvleček prekinjen pri 2000 znakih.)
