Abstract

ABSTRACT This study was undertaken in Bidayuh communities in the Padawan, Bau, and Siburan districts in Malaysia to (1) compare the medicinal plant utilization, (2) compare the number of medicinal plants collected annually and total number of medicinal plant species collected, and (3) assess the influence of key socio-demographic factors on the pattern of annual collection and preferred species. Surveys were conducted on 226 households, based on stratified random sampling. Key informant in-depth investigation and group meetings were used to gather further information. A total of 44 medicinal plant species that were used to treat 25 ailments were recorded from all districts. Five primary ailments for which the plants were used were fever (11 plant species), wound (10 plant species), post-partum care (eight plant species), hypertension (seven plant species), and diseases of the skin (seven plant species). There was a difference in the number of medicinal plants collected annually (X 2(2) = 8.55, p = .01) with the highest mean difference between Kuching (Mean rank = 125.65) and Siburan (Mean rank = 97.78) districts. There was a difference in total medicinal plant species collected among household heads due to education levels (X 2(5) = 21.87, p = .00) with the highest mean difference between primary school (Mean rank = 138.07) and college (Mean rank = 69.00) education.

马来西亚沙捞越Bidayuh社区对传统药用植物的利用

摘要本研究在马来西亚巴达万、包和西布伦地区的Bidayuh社区进行，目的是（1）比较药用植物的利用率，（2）比较每年采集的药用植物数量和采集的药用物种总数，以及（3）评估关键社会人口因素对年度采集模式和首选物种的影响。在分层随机抽样的基础上，对226户家庭进行了调查。利用关键线人深入调查和小组会议收集进一步信息。所有地区共记录了44种用于治疗25种疾病的药用植物。使用这些植物治疗的五种主要疾病是发烧（11种植物）、伤口（10种植物）和产后护理（8种植物），高血压（7种植物）以及皮肤病（7种动物）。每年采集的药用植物数量存在差异（X2（2）=8.55，p=0.01），其中古晋（平均等级=125.65）和西布伦（平均等级=97.78）地区的平均差异最大。由于教育水平的不同，户主之间收集的药用植物总种类存在差异（X2（5）=21.87，p=0.00），小学（平均等级=138.07）和大学（平均等级=69.00）教育之间的平均差异最大。
