Abstract

Ethnic minority populations have been identified as high users of traditional, complementary and alternative medicine (TCAM). This paper reports the systematic review of TCAM use amongst ethnic minorities. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in Ovid, PubMed and CINAHL. Included studies were original, peer-reviewed, English language articles with the primary focus on TCAM use amongst ethnic minority populations. A total of 17 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review. A considerable level of TCAM use was observed amongst ethnic minority populations usually attributed to its perceived safe and natural properties. Ethnic minority populations predominantly used TCAM concurrently with conventional medicine and primary TCAM referral sources were family and friends. A substantial level of TCAM integration with conventional medicine is common practice amongst these populations and the lack of disclosure about TCAM use raises an important area for further research inquiry.

摘要

少数民族被认为是传统、补充和替代医学(TCAM)的高使用者。本文报告了少数民族使用 TCAM 的系统评价。在 Ovid、PubMed 和 CINAHL 中进行了全面的文献检索。纳入的研究是原始的、同行评审的、以少数民族人群中 TCAM 使用为主要重点的英文文章。共有 17 篇文章符合纳入标准,并被纳入系统评价。观察到少数民族人群中存在相当程度的 TCAM 使用,通常归因于其被认为是安全和天然的特性。少数民族人群主要同时使用 TCAM 和传统医学,主要的 TCAM 转介来源是家人和朋友。在这些人群中,TCAM 与传统医学的大量整合是常见做法,而对 TCAM 使用的缺乏披露提出了一个重要的研究领域。
