Sumario:This study was conducted to examine the use of integrative treatment methods by individuals with COVID-19 using Pender’s health promotion model. During the analysis of the themes, we observed that individuals’ decisions to start integrative treatment were affected by uncertainty related to COVID-19, desire to recover and strengthen immunity, and thinking that there would be permanent damage due to the disease. Integrative treatment methods were frequently used by individuals who had COVID-19, and these methods were primarily based on non–evidence-based information sources and not disclosed to health care professionals.
