摘要

导言:神经系统疾病 (ND) 在撒哈拉以南非洲地区 (SSA) 发病率很高。在这一地区,传统医学(CM)的系统性挑战和文化信仰促使人们大量使用传统医学(TM)。然而,在撒哈拉以南非洲地区,有关传统医学和使用传统医学治疗 ND 的数据却很少。在此,我们系统地分析了传统疗法作为一种治疗方法在马里对ND所起的作用、其使用者的社会人口特征,并提出了下一步如何优化ND患者对传统疗法和中医的双重使用:我们分两个阶段进行了问卷调查。在第一阶段,ND 患者回答了他们使用 TM 的情况和对 TM 的态度。在第二阶段,在第一阶段为患者提供治疗的 TM 治疗师回答了有关他们自己治疗 ND 的方法的问题。患者是从该国两所大学的神经病学系招募的:2019 年在神经病学系就诊的 4532 名患者中有 3534 名符合纳入标准。在这 3534 名患者中,有 2430 人(68.8%)曾因目前的 ND 就诊于 TM。60 岁以上的患者最常使用 TM(83.1%)。从教育程度来看,文盲患者使用 TM 最多(85.5%),而受过中等以上教育的患者使用 TM 最少(48.6%)。收入高于最低保障工资与使用传统医学的减少有关(OR 0.29,CI 0.25-0.35,P 结论):我们的研究表明,传统医学在为撒哈拉以南非洲地区的玖玖病患者提供医疗服务方面发挥着核心作用,某些人群使用传统医学的比例更高。未来在撒哈拉以南非洲地区发展 ND 治疗将需要优化 TM 与 CM,并需要所有利益相关者的支持,包括传统医学临床医生、传统医学治疗师、研究人员、政治家,以及最重要的患者。

Assessing traditional medicine in the treatment of neurological disorders in Mali: prelude to efficient collaboration.

Introduction: Neurological disorders (ND) have a high incidence in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In this region, systemic challenges of conventional medicine (CM) and cultural beliefs have contributed to a large utilization of traditional medicine (TM). Yet, data on TM and those who use it in the treatment of ND in SSA are scarce. Here, we systematically analyze its role as a therapy modality for ND in Mali, the socio-demographic characteristics of its users, and propose next steps to optimize the dual usages of TM and CM for patients with ND.

Methods: We conducted a questionnaire study in two phases. In phase one, patients with ND answered questions on their usage of and attitudes towards TM. In phase two, the TM therapists who provided care to the patients in phase one answered questions regarding their own practices for treating ND. Patients were recruited from the country's two university neurology departments.

Results: 3,534 of the 4,532 patients seen in the Departments of Neurology in 2019 met the inclusion criteria. Among these 3,534 patients, 2,430 (68.8%) had previously consulted TM for their present ND. Patients over 60 years of age most often used TM (83.1%). By education, illiterate patients utilized TM the most (85.5%) while those with more than a secondary education used TM the least (48.6%). An income greater than the minimum guaranteed salary was associated with decreased use of traditional medicine (OR 0.29, CI 0.25-0.35, p < 0.001). Among those using TM, it was overwhelmingly thought to be more effective than CM (84.6%). Linking illness to supernatural causes and believing TM therapists had a better understanding of illnesses were the most common reasons patients used traditional medicine (82.3% and 80.5%, respectively). We then interviewed 171 TM therapists who had provided care to the patients in phase one. These providers most commonly "sometimes" (62.6%) referred patients to CM and 4.1% never had. A majority of TM providers (62.6%) believed collaboration with CM could be improved by having doctor "take into account" our existence.

Conclusion: Our work shows that TM plays a central role in the provision of care for patients with ND in SSA with certain cohorts using it at higher rates. Future development of treatment of ND in SSA will require optimizing TM with CM and needs buy-in from all stakeholders including conventional medicine clinicians, traditional medicine therapists, researchers, politicians, and most importantly, patients.
