Scant information exists about traditional, complementary and alternative medicine (TCAM) use in Indonesia, which prompted investigating its prevalence and correlates in Indonesia.
Participants were 31,415 individuals 15 years and older that participated in the cross-sectional Indonesia Family Life Survey in 2014-15.
In all, 24.4% had used a traditional practitioner and/or traditional medicine in the past four weeks, and 32.9% had used complementary medicine in the past four weeks. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, being of older age, being a Muslim, residing in an urban area or on Java, being unhealthy, having a chronic condition, having depression symptoms, experiencing sleep disturbance, and having high social support were associated with both current traditional practitioner and/or medicine use and complementary medicine use.
The study shows a high prevalence of TCAM use in Indonesia and several sociodemographic and health related factors of its use were identified.
关于印度尼西亚传统医学、补充医学和替代医学(TCAM)的使用信息很少,这促使我们调查其在印度尼西亚的流行情况及其相关因素。
参与者为 2014-2015 年参加跨地区印度尼西亚家庭生活调查的 31415 名 15 岁及以上的个体。
共有 24.4%的人在过去四周内使用过传统医生和/或传统医学,32.9%的人在过去四周内使用过补充药物。在调整后的逻辑回归分析中,年龄较大、穆斯林、居住在城市或爪哇岛、身体不健康、患有慢性病、有抑郁症状、睡眠障碍以及社会支持度较高与当前使用传统医生和/或医学和补充药物都有关。
该研究表明,TCAM 在印度尼西亚的使用非常普遍,并且确定了其使用的几个与社会人口学和健康相关的因素。
