Malinga ndi kafukufuku wa boma (1), 36% a akuluakulu a ku America a zaka zapakati pa 18 ndi zaka amagwiritsa ntchito mtundu wina wa mankhwala ophatikiza ndi owonjezera (CAM).
Kodi CAM N'chiyani?
CAM imatchedwa gulu la mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya zamankhwala ndi zaumoyo, machitidwe, ndi zinthu zomwe sizinaganizidwe kuti ndi mbali ya mankhwala ochiritsira. Pemphero pokhapokha pazifukwa za umoyo zikuphatikizidwa mukutanthauzira kwa CAM, chiwerengero cha anthu akuluakulu a US akugwiritsa ntchito mtundu wina wa CAM chaka chatha chikukwera kufika 62%.
"Zotsatira zatsopanozi zimatsimikizira kuti anthu a ku America apititsa bwanji njira za CAM ndi chiyembekezo kuti athandizidwe ndi kuteteza matenda ndi kupititsa patsogolo moyo wawo," anatero Stephen E. Straus, MD, Mtsogoleri, National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. (NCCAM).
"Detayi imangotithandiza kumvetsetsa yemwe akugwiritsa ntchito CAM, zomwe zikugwiritsidwa ntchito, komanso chifukwa chake, komanso powerenga maubwenzi pakati pa CAM ntchito ndi zina zaumoyo, matenda osatha, inshuwalansi, ndi makhalidwe abwino."
2002 Goma-Yachitidwa kafukufuku wa CAM
Kafukufukuyu, woperekedwa kwa anthu oposa 31,000 oyimira akuluakulu a US, anachitidwa monga gawo la Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2002 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS).
Poyendetsedwa ndi NCCAM ndi National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), kafukufukuyu anaphatikiza mafunso pa mitundu 27 ya mankhwala a CAM omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri ku United States.
Izi zinaphatikizapo mitundu 10 ya mankhwala othandizira odwala, monga acupuncture ndi chiropractic , ndi zina 17 zochiza zomwe sizikusowa wopereka, monga mankhwala achilengedwe (mankhwala kapena zitsamba zamagetsi), zakudya zapadera, ndi mankhwala a megavitamin.
Ngakhale pakhala pali kafukufuku wochuluka wa CAM ntchito mpaka pano, zofukufuku zosiyanasiyana zikuphatikizapo zosankha zochepa za mankhwala a CAM.
Kuonjezera apo, nthawi zambiri ankafufuza zochepa za anthu makamaka pogwiritsa ntchito foni kapena mauthenga omwe amapezeka pofufuza. Choncho, zotsatira za gawo la CAM la NHIS zimapereka chidziwitso chokwanira ndi chodalirika mpaka lero kufotokoza ntchito ya CAM ndi anthu akuluakulu a US.
Zotsatira za Survey
Kafukufukuyu adawonetsa kuti CAM imagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri pakati pa anthu osiyanasiyana, kuphatikizapo amayi, anthu apamwamba, omwe adalandira chipatala m'zaka zapitazi, ndi omwe kale anali osuta, poyerekeza ndi osuta fodya kapena omwe sanasute fodya.
Kuwonjezera apo, uwu unali kufufuza koyamba kuti apereke chidziwitso chochuluka pa CAM ntchito ndi anthu ochepa. Mwachitsanzo, adapeza kuti akuluakulu a ku Africa ndi America anali oposa achikulire kapena a ku Asia kuti agwiritse ntchito CAM pamene mankhwala a megavitamin ndi pemphero anaphatikizidwa mukutanthauzira kwa CAM.
"Ife tikupitirizabe kufalitsa uthenga wathanzi womwe timasonkhanitsa m'dziko lino, kuphatikizapo zomwe tikuchita pazochita zomwe anthu amachitira pazochitika zawo zaumoyo," anatero Mtsogoleri wa NCHS Edward J. Sondik, Ph.D.
"Kwa zaka zambiri takhala tikuganizira za mankhwala azachibadwidwe , koma mndandanda watsopano wa deta ya CAM imagwira mbali ina.
Chimene tikuwona ndi chakuti chiwerengero chachikulu cha anthu chimaika thanzi lawo laumwini m'manja mwao. "
Momwe CAM Inagwiritsidwira Ntchito
Kuyandikira kwa CAM kunkagwiritsidwa ntchito nthawi zambiri pofuna kupweteka ululu kapena mavuto, ululu, kupweteka kwa khosi kapena mavuto, kupweteka pamtima kapena kuuma, ndi nkhawa kapena kupsinjika maganizo, malinga ndi kafukufukuyo.
Komabe, anthu pafupifupi 12 peresenti okha amafunafuna chisamaliro kuchokera kwa wodwala CAM yemwe ali ndi chilolezo, akusonyeza kuti anthu ambiri omwe amagwiritsa ntchito CAM amachita zimenezi popanda kufunsa dokotala.
Njira Zambiri Zochiritsira CAM
Malingana ndi kafukufukuyu, 10 njira zamakono zogwiritsidwa ntchito za CAM ndi pafupifupi anthu ambiri a ku America omwe amagwiritsa ntchito mankhwalawa anali:
- Pemphererani thanzi lanu, 43%
- Pemphero la ena chifukwa cha thanzi la womvera, 24%
- Zachilengedwe (monga mankhwala, zitsamba zina, ndi mavitamini), 19%
- Kuzizira kwambiri, 12%
- Kutenga nawo mbali pagulu la pemphero kuti akhale ndi thanzi labwino, 10%
- Kusinkhasinkha, 8%
- Kusamalira tizilombo, 8%
- Yoga, 5%
- Kuchulukitsa, 5%
- Zakudya zothandizira zakudya (monga mankhwala a Atkins, Pritikin, Ornish, ndi Zone), 4%
Chifukwa Chimene Anthu Amagwiritsira Ntchito CAM
Kuwonjezera pa kusonkhanitsa deta pamagwiritsidwe ntchito ka CAM, kafukufukuyu adafunanso kudziwa chifukwa chake anthu amagwiritsa ntchito CAM. Zotsatira zazikulu zimasonyeza kuti:
- Akuluakulu 55 mwa anthu 100 alionse amati amatha kugwiritsa ntchito CAM chifukwa amakhulupirira kuti idzawathandiza pokhapokha ngati akuchiritsidwa
- 50% amaganiza kuti CAM ingakhale yosangalatsa kuyesa
- 26% amagwiritsira ntchito CAM chifukwa dokotala wodziwika kuti adayesera
- 13% amagwiritsa ntchito CAM chifukwa ankaganiza kuti mankhwala ochiritsira anali okwera mtengo kwambiri
N'zochititsa chidwi kuti kafukufukuyu anapeza kuti pafupifupi 28 peresenti ya anthu akuluakulu omwe amagwiritsa ntchito CAM chifukwa amakhulupirira kuti mankhwala ochiritsira ochiritsirawo sangathe kuwathandiza. Izi ndi zosiyana ndi zomwe zapeza kale kuti osuta CAM samakhala, osakhutira ndi mankhwala ochiritsira.
Chodziwikiratu: Zomwe zili pa tsambali zimapangidwa pazinthu zophunzitsira zokha ndipo sizilowetsamo malangizo, matenda kapena chithandizo ndi dokotala wololedwa. Sichikutanthauza kubisa zonse zomwe zingatheke, kuyanjana kwa mankhwala, zochitika kapena zotsatirapo zoipa. Muyenera kupeza chithandizo chamankhwala mwamsanga pa nkhani iliyonse yathanzi ndikufunsani dokotala musanagwiritse ntchito mankhwala osakaniza kapena kusintha kwa regimen yanu.
Zotsatira za kafukufuku zikuwonetsa machitidwe atsopano a CAM omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito pakati pa magulu osiyanasiyana a anthu ndikupereka chidziwitso chochuluka cha kafukufuku wamtsogolo. Kuwonjezera pamenepo, zotsatira za kafukufuku zimapereka mndandanda wa zofukufuku zamtsogolo, chifukwa zimakhazikitsa tanthawuzo lokhazikika la CAM lomwe lingagwiritsidwe ntchito poyendetsa zochitika ndi kuchuluka kwa ntchito ya CAM.
NCCAM, gawo lina la National Institutes of Health, DHHS, lapatulidwa kufufuza njira zowonjezereka ndi zochiritsira m'malo mwa sayansi yowopsya, kufufuza ochita kafukufuku wa CAM, ndikufalitsa chidziwitso chovomerezeka kwa anthu ndi akatswiri.

NCHS ndi gawo limodzi la magulu akuluakulu a matenda oletsa matenda ndi matenda (CDC). Ntchito ya NCHS ndiyo kupereka chidziŵitso cha chiwerengero chomwe chidzawatsogolera ntchito ndi ndondomeko kuti zikhale ndi thanzi la anthu a ku America. CDC imateteza thanzi la anthu ndi chitetezo mwa kupewa ndi kulamulira matenda ndi kuvulala; kumapanga chisankho chaumoyo pakupereka zowonjezereka zokhudzana ndi matenda ovuta; komanso kulimbikitsa moyo wathanzi kudzera mgwirizano wamphamvu ndi mabungwe apakati, a dziko, ndi a mayiko.
