OBJECTIVE
This study explored older people's knowledge, experience and perception of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and acupressure, and their willingness to accept acupressure.
METHOD
This qualitative descriptive study, using semi-structured interviews, was conducted at two residential aged care facilities. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data.
RESULTS
Fifteen older people participated. Participants had limited knowledge about CAM and acupressure. Many of them had positive views on CAM, and were willing to accept acupressure. There were five major themes: knowledge and understanding about CAM, experience of using CAM, general views on use of CAM, reasons for not using CAM, and willingness to accept acupressure.
CONCLUSION
The findings show the diverse views on CAM and acupressure from the perspectives of the older people in this study. There is a need for further research investigating the usefulness of CAM and acupressure in aged care settings.
目的
本研究探讨了老年人对补充和替代医学（CAM）和指压按摩的知识、经验和看法，以及他们对接受指压按摩的意愿。
方法
本定性描述性研究采用半结构式访谈，在两家养老院进行。采用主题分析法对数据进行分析。
结果
15 名老年人参与了研究。参与者对 CAM 和指压按摩的了解有限。他们中的许多人对 CAM 持积极态度，并愿意接受指压按摩。有五个主要主题：对 CAM 的了解和理解、使用 CAM 的经验、对使用 CAM 的总体看法、不使用 CAM 的原因以及接受指压按摩的意愿。
结论
研究结果从研究对象的角度展示了他们对 CAM 和指压按摩的不同看法。需要进一步研究 CAM 和指压按摩在老年护理环境中的实用性。
