Exploring the use of complementary and alternative medicine during pregnancy: A cross-sectional study from Indonesia
Introduction
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) refers to therapies used alongside or in place of conventional medical care. CAM use during pregnancy has gained increasing attention, yet little is known about its patterns and determinants in Indonesia. This study aimed to explore CAM use among pregnant women, identify influencing factors, and assess potential herb-drug interactions.
Methods
A cross-sectional survey was conducted from August to November 2023 at a secondary hospital in Makassar, Indonesia. Pregnant women aged ≥ 18 years attending outpatient clinic were recruited through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a validated, structured questionnaire that assessed demographic characteristics, CAM and medication use, and perceptions of CAM. Potential herb-drug interactions were identified using the Indonesian Traditional Medicine Formulary and the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database.
Results
Of the 560 respondents, 52.3 % reported currently using CAM, with herbal medicines being the most commonly used modality. Factors significantly associated with CAM use included educational level (p=0.021), gestational age (p=0.016), prior CAM use (p<0.001), CAM use among family/friends (p<0.001), and concurrent prescribed medications (p=0.003). Twelve potential herb-drug interactions were identified: eight were classified as moderate and four as minor interactions.
Conclusion
The high prevalence of CAM use among pregnant women highlights the need for healthcare providers to offer guidance on safe use and potential herb-drug interactions.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Integrative Medicine (EuJIM) considers manuscripts from a wide range of complementary and integrative health care disciplines, with a particular focus on whole systems approaches, public health, self management and traditional medical systems. The journal strives to connect conventional medicine and evidence based complementary medicine. We encourage submissions reporting research with relevance for integrative clinical practice and interprofessional education.
EuJIM aims to be of interest to both conventional and integrative audiences, including healthcare practitioners, researchers, health care organisations, educationalists, and all those who seek objective and critical information on integrative medicine. To achieve this aim EuJIM provides an innovative international and interdisciplinary platform linking researchers and clinicians.
The journal focuses primarily on original research articles including systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, other clinical studies, qualitative, observational and epidemiological studies. In addition we welcome short reviews, opinion articles and contributions relating to health services and policy, health economics and psychology.
