Abstract

Introduction: Herbal medicine is described by the World Health Organization (WHO) as plant-derived compounds, either raw or processed, that are thought to have therapeutic advantages. Herbal medication is becoming more and more popular worldwide, particularly during pregnancy. The WHO estimates that 80% of people utilize herbal remedies. In Ethiopia, grandmothers and grandfathers frequently use herbal medicine at home to treat common health issues. Instead of using medically proven treatments during their pregnancy, the majority of expectant mothers trust herbal remedies. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the magnitude and associated factors of herbal medicine use during pregnancy among women attending antenatal care in public health institutions of central Tigray, northern Ethiopia. Methods: Facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 01 to May 15, 2020. Data were collected using a structured and pretested questionnaire. Data were entered into Epi-data manager version 7.2.5 and analyzed using SPSS version 23. Both binary and multivariate logistic regression analyses were carried out to assess the associated factors. Variables with p value less the 0.2 in bivariate analysis were transferred to multivariate analysis, and variables with p value ≤ 0.05 were considered as significant. Result: Out of the total 333 respondents, making a response rate of 100%, 176 (52.9%) used herbal medicine during current pregnancy. The most common medicines used during pregnancy were garlic (59.4%) and ginger (51.7%). Occupation that is housewife had educational status (AOR = 11.816, 95% CI 1.848-35.535), illiterate (AOR = 1.886, 95% CI 1.586-2.241), residency/rural (AOR = 2.905, 95% CI 1.173-7.197), and average monthly income less than 500 Ethiopian birrs (AOR = 7.621, 95% CI 2.691-21.585) were factors that are significantly associated with the use of herbal medicine during pregnancy. Conclusion and Recommendation: Based on our results, herbal medicine use during pregnancy is highly practiced in this study, and occupation, residency, educational status, and average monthly income were the significantly associated factors of herbal medicine use during pregnancy. There is a need to educate and counsel pregnant women on the harmful effects of herbal medicine use during pregnancy by the health care personnel and health extension worker.

埃塞俄比亚北部提格雷中部公共卫生机构产前护理妇女孕期使用草药的程度及相关因素(2020 年):基于医疗机构的横断面研究。
导言:世界卫生组织(WHO)将草药描述为植物提取的化合物,无论是未加工的还是加工过的,都被认为具有治疗优势。草药在全世界越来越受欢迎,尤其是在怀孕期间。世卫组织估计,80% 的人使用草药疗法。在埃塞俄比亚,祖母和祖父经常在家里使用草药来治疗常见的健康问题。大多数准妈妈在怀孕期间不使用经过医学验证的治疗方法,而是相信草药疗法。研究目的本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚北部提格雷中部公共医疗机构中接受产前检查的妇女在怀孕期间使用草药的程度和相关因素。研究方法于 2020 年 3 月 1 日至 5 月 15 日开展了基于医疗机构的横断面研究。采用结构化的预试问卷收集数据。数据输入 Epi-data 管理器 7.2.5 版,并使用 SPSS 23 版进行分析。对相关因素进行了二元和多元逻辑回归分析。二元分析中 P 值小于 0.2 的变量转入多元分析,P 值小于 0.05 的变量被视为显著变量。结果在 333 名受访者中,有 176 人(52.9%)在怀孕期间使用过中草药,回复率为 100%。孕期最常用的药物是大蒜(59.4%)和生姜(51.7%)。家庭主妇职业、受教育程度(AOR = 11.816,95% CI 1.848-35.535)、文盲(AOR = 1.886,95% CI 1.586-2.241)、居住地/农村(AOR = 2.905,95% CI 1.173-7.197)和平均月收入低于 500 埃塞俄比亚比尔(AOR = 7.621,95% CI 2.691-21.585)是与孕期使用草药显著相关的因素。结论与建议:根据我们的研究结果,在本研究中,孕期使用中草药的比例很高,而职业、居住地、教育状况和平均月收入是与孕期使用中草药显著相关的因素。医护人员和卫生推广人员有必要就孕期使用中草药的有害影响对孕妇进行教育和咨询。
