在抗逆转录病毒治疗 (ART) 时代,对于艾滋病毒感染者 (PLHIV) 来说,传统非洲医学 (TAM) 和对抗疗法药物的同时使用还没有得到很好的理解。这项横断面定性研究调查了以下人群对同时使用 TAM 和 ART 的看法: i) 在南非德班 McCord 医院 Sinikithemba HIV 诊所接受 ART 的患者; ii) 来自 Sinikithemba 的对抗疗法医疗服务提供者(医生、护士、艾滋病毒咨询师); iii) 当地传统治疗师。数据是通过 2011 年 7 月至 10 月期间对 26 名参与者进行的深入访谈和焦点小组讨论收集的。这项研究中的患者并不认为 TAM 是 ART 的替代方案;他们认为 TAM 可以替代 ART。相反,结果表明患者使用 TAM 和 ART 来满足截然不同的需求。需要更多的研究来进一步了解南非传统医疗保健方法和对抗疗法之间的关系,提高为感染者提供护理的文化相关性,并务实地解决南非和其他地方管理这一交叉点的医疗保健提供者和公共卫生官员的担忧。
The concurrent use of traditional African medicine (TAM) and allopathic medicine is not well understood for people living with HIV (PLHIV) in the era of antiretroviral therapy (ART). This cross-sectional, qualitative study examines perceptions of the concurrent use of TAM and ART among: i) patients receiving ART at the Sinikithemba HIV Clinic of McCord Hospital, in Durban, South Africa; ii) allopathic medical providers (doctors, nurses, HIV counsellors) from Sinikithemba; and iii) local traditional healers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 26 participants between July and October, 2011. Patients in this study did not view TAM as an alternative to ART; rather, results show that patients employ TAM and ART for distinctly different needs. More research is needed to further understand the relationship between traditional and allopathic approaches to health care in South Africa, to improve cultural relevance in the provision and delivery of care for PLHIV, and to pragmatically address the concerns of healthcare providers and public health officials managing this intersection in South Africa and elsewhere.
