| Summary, etc. |
Cross-sectional survey on 254 respondents describes the influences of traditional medicine on the primary health care system. The background of the users, their opinions on self-care, steps for the treatment of specific complaints, the frequency of use, the source of treatment and the pattern of treatment (self- care before visiting the doctor) are described. The only significant difference found was the more frequent use of self-care by rural people. The frequency of visits of a doctor to a clinic, residency of a doctor and the location of the health centre viewed as primary health care factors were found to have no effect on the use of traditional self-care. Concludes that knowledge about the practices of self-care with herbal medicine was inadequate. The hypothesis is that older people use more herbal medicines than young people proved to be false. |
