Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: In recent years, especially with the Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the use of herbal products for various health problems has been increasing worldwide. This study aimed to determine the frequency of herbal product/dietary supplement use, the most used products, and the factors affecting the use of these products in patients who applied to the Chest Diseases Clinic.
UNASSIGNED: This descriptive survey study was conducted at Chest Diseases Clinic using a face-to-face interview technique. Adult individuals with subacute respiratory complaints for > 3 weeks or a diagnosis of chronic chest disease were included in the study. The questionnaire form included questions about personal characteristics, data related to disease and treatment, use of herbal products/dietary supplements, and attitudes toward these products. A total of 444 participants with all the data included in the study. Descriptive statistics, chi-square, and binary logistic regression tests were used.
UNASSIGNED: It was determined that 49.3% of the participants used herbal products/dietary supplements, and the most frequently used products were honey, linden, ginger, lemon, and carob. According to the results of the binary logistic regression test, it was determined that patients over 60 years old [odds ratio (OR)= 2.0, 95% confidence interval (Cl): 1.1-3.8, p= 0.042], those with a high education level (OR= 2.0, 95% Cl: 1.1-3.6, p= 0.018), those who live in urban (OR= 1.8, 95% Cl: 1.1-3.0, p= 0.018), and those with a diagnosis of post-COVID syndrome (OR= 2.7, 95%, Cl: 1.3-5.5, p= 0.007) are more likely to use these products. It was determined that 57.9% of the participants used these products to relieve the symptoms of the disease.
UNASSIGNED: Considering the high probability of using these products in patients with respiratory tract disease, it is essential for public health that health professionals question the use of these products and provide counseling on this issue.

摘要：
■近年来，特别是2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行，在世界范围内，用于各种健康问题的草药产品的使用一直在增加。这项研究旨在确定草药产品/膳食补充剂的使用频率，最常用的产品，以及影响应用于胸部疾病诊所的患者使用这些产品的因素。
■这项描述性调查研究是在胸部疾病诊所使用面对面访谈技术进行的。研究包括患有亚急性呼吸道不适>3周或诊断为慢性胸部疾病的成年个体。问卷形式包括有关个人特征的问题，与疾病和治疗有关的数据，使用草药产品/膳食补充剂，以及对这些产品的态度。共有444名参与者，所有数据都包含在研究中。描述性统计，卡方,并采用二元logistic回归检验。
■确定49.3％的参与者使用草药产品/膳食补充剂，最常用的产品是蜂蜜，Linden,Ginger,柠檬,和角豆。根据二元Logistic回归检验的结果，确定60岁以上的患者[比值比（OR）=2.0，95％置信区间（Cl）：1.1-3.8，p=0.042]，那些受过高等教育的人(OR=2.0，95%Cl:1.1-3.6，p=0.018)，居住在城市的人(OR=1.8，95%Cl:1.1-3.0，p=0.018)，和那些诊断为COVID后综合征的人(OR=2.7，95%，Cl：1.3-5.5，p=0.007）更有可能使用这些产品。确定57.9％的参与者使用这些产品来缓解疾病的症状。
■考虑到呼吸道疾病患者使用这些产品的可能性很高，对于公共卫生来说，卫生专业人员质疑这些产品的使用并就此问题提供咨询至关重要。
