摘要

背景：世界观定义了现实，并规定了对现实各个组成部分的具体态度。这项研究评估了尼日利亚东南部的传统宗教世界观是如何作为该地区医疗实践的驱动因素而持续存在的。这项研究是在尼日利亚东南部，特别是埃努古州和阿南布拉州进行的。数据来源和方法：该研究的数据是通过对400名受访者进行的六项问卷收集的，并使用简单的百分比进行分析。结果：大多数受访者认为疾病是来自神的诅咒，或是邪恶势力的恶意阴谋。对于腿部溃疡等疾病，最初的主要医疗保健做法是去迪比亚（61%）或信仰疗养院（29%）。结论：为了使尼日利亚东南部的卫生干预措施取得成功，需要开展干预前运动。还迫切需要禁止在该地区建立信仰疗养院。

Background: Worldviews define reality and stipulate the specific attitudes towards each component of reality.This study assessed how traditional religious worldview in southeast Nigeria has persisted as a driver of healthcare practices in the region. The study was carried out in southeast Nigeria, particularly, Enugu and Anambra States. Data Source and Methods: Data for the study were collected using a six-item questionnaire administered to 400 respondents, and analyzed using simple percentages. Results: Most of the respondents see ailments as curses from gods/deities, or malicious machinations from evil forces. The predominant initial healthcare practice for ailments such as leg ulcer is to go to a dibia (61%) or to a faith healing home (29%). Conclusion: For health-interventions to succeed in southeast Nigeria, there is need for pre-intervention campaigns. There is also urgent need to proscribe faith healing homes in the region.
