The Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine by the General Population in the Czech Republic: A Follow-Up Study

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background: The prevalence of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) ranges between 0.3% and 86% in most highly developed countries. In the Czech Republic, CAM is used by 76% of the general population. Our aim was to examine patterns in CAM use among a representative sample of the general population in the Czech Republic, for 2011 and 2014. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted. A sex-, age- and region-stratified sample of citizens aged 15 years and older was randomly selected from the 2014 voter registration lists (n = 8,395,132). A comparative analysis of data collected in 2011 and 2014 was performed. Results: Overall, 76.0% (N = 1,365) versus 87.0% (N = 1,565) of the respondents reported use of 1 or more CAM modalities during the past 30 days, in 2011 and 2014, respectively (p &lt; 0.001). In both years, the top 4 CAM modalities used were vitamins/minerals, herbal teas, massage, and relaxation. Yoga replaced dietary supplements excluding vitamins/minerals in the 5th position. Nevertheless, only herbal teas (48.0% vs. 53.0%, p = 0.002), massage (20.0% vs. 26.0%, p &lt; 0.001), relaxation (10.0% vs. 19.0%, p &lt; 0.001), and yoga (3.7% vs. 7.1%, p &lt; 0.001) showed a significant increase in use. Conclusions: The prevalence of CAM use in the Czech Republic is increasing, especially among people who use biological, body-and mind-based CAM therapies. There is a great need to educate students and health care professionals about the efficacy and safety of CAM in order to meet the patients&apos; demands on CAM.
