Determinants of the Utilization of Recognized Traditional and Complementary Medicine Service in Malaysia: A Secondary Analysis of a Cross-Sectional Population-Based Survey.
Introduction: The utilization of traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM) services has witnessed a global increase over the past decades. Currently, seven practice areas are recognized in Malaysia: traditional Malay medicine (TMM), traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), traditional Indian medicine, homeopathy, Islamic medical practice, chiropractic, and osteopathy. Many global studies have investigated the general determinants of T&CM service utilization. However, there has been no comprehensive study reporting specific determinants of recognized T&CM service utilization. This study aimed to examine the prevalence and specific determinants of recognized T&CM service utilization in Malaysia at a national level.
Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of data from the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS), a cross-sectional population-based survey conducted in Malaysia in 2015. A total of 6,207 respondents aged ≥18 years were included in this study. The associations of sociodemographic, health, and lifestyle factors with the utilization of the three T&CM service categories (TMM, TCM, and other T&CM) were examined using three separate logistic regression analyses.
Results: The prevalence of recognized T&CM service utilization in the last 12 months was 19.3%, with 15.0% for TMM, 3.9% for TCM, and 1.5% for other T&CM. The determinants of TMM service utilization were female sex; age range of 18-29 years; married or widowed/divorced status; Malay, indigenous, or other ethnicities; high household income; and being overweight/obese. The determinants of TCM service utilization were the age range of 30-49 years, urban residential location, Chinese ethnicity, and adequate fruit and vegetable intake. No specific determinants were identified for other T&CM.
Conclusion: This study provided novel evidence of a strong ethnocultural ownership toward traditional medicine. User profiles were distinctively different between varied T&CM services. Customized approaches to regulate, develop, and institutionalize specific T&CM services are crucial for fulfilling the unique needs of diverse communities.
