摘要

2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行推动了全球缓解努力，包括疫苗接种运动和草药补充剂的探索。在非洲，文化和卫生保健状况各不相同，了解围绕疫苗接种和草药补充剂使用的偏好和看法对于有效的公共卫生干预至关重要。本研究旨在研究COVID-19大流行期间非洲人口的疫苗接种和草药补充剂使用偏好。方法进行范围综述，综合有关疫苗接种和草药补充剂偏好的文献。在b谷歌Scholar、PubMed、ResearchGate和Embase中检索了2020年1月至2023年12月期间发表的英文研究。结果对疫苗接种的态度各不相同，并受到疫苗犹豫、对卫生保健系统的不信任、文化信仰和错误信息等因素的影响。此外，受文化习俗、可及性和对COVID-19预防或治疗的有效性的影响，草药补充剂的使用很普遍。结论本研究强调了在COVID-19大流行期间，影响非洲疫苗接种和草药补充剂偏好的因素之间复杂的相互作用。从这一分析中获得的见解可以为量身定制的干预措施和政策提供信息，以应对2019冠状病毒病和非洲未来的公共卫生挑战。

Exploration of Vaccination and Herbal Supplement Usage Preferences Among African Populations During Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic: A Scoping Review

Introduction

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has driven global mitigation efforts, including vaccination campaigns and the exploration of herbal supplements. In Africa, where diverse cultural and healthcare landscapes vary, understanding the preferences and perceptions surrounding the use of vaccination and herbal supplements is crucial for effective public health interventions. This study aims to examine vaccination and herbal supplement usage preferences among African populations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

A scoping review synthesised literatures on vaccination and herbal supplement preferences. Searches were conducted in Google Scholar, PubMed, ResearchGate, and Embase for studies published in English between January 2020 and December 2023. Relevant themes and patterns were identified through data extraction and synthesis

Results

Attitudes towards vaccination varied and were influenced by factors such as vaccine hesitancy, mistrust in healthcare systems, cultural beliefs, and misinformation. Additionally, the use of herbal supplements was widespread, driven by cultural practices, accessibility, and perceived efficacy in COVID-19 prevention or treatment

Conclusions

This study highlights the complex interplay of factors shaping vaccination and herbal supplement preferences in Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic. Insights from this analysis can inform tailored interventions and policies to address COVID-19 and future public health challenges in Africa.
