Herbal medicine for acute bronchitis: A qualitative interview study of patients’ and health professionals’ views
2020, Complementary Therapies in MedicineCitation Excerpt :This concluded that treatment decisions depend on beliefs about the illness and treatments, availability of treatments and advice, and that there is a need for reliable, evidence-based advice on which treatments to use. There have been no published studies in the UK on this topic since the 1980s, when there was less awareness and concern about antibiotic resistance, and the studies at that time focussed on ethnic minorities.20,21 Our findings support recent initiatives on shared decision-making between doctors and patients which call for clear, comprehensible and evidence-based information to enable patients to consider the available options.22
Views regarding use of complementary therapies for acute respiratory infections: Systematic review of qualitative studies
2020, Complementary Therapies in MedicineCitation Excerpt :In Nigeria, South Africa, Bangladesh and the Philippines, lack of improvement with traditional treatment, persistent cough and fast breathing were perceived to be signs of severity, and reasons for seeking formal health care.33–36 Some participants in the study carried out amongst the Asian population in Glasgow believed that fennel decoction is effective for respiratory infections22 and many parents in the study carried out in London believed honey to be effective for coughs and colds.24 Interestingly, parents in Uganda did not even have a word for “antibiotics” and did not seem to distinguish between them and other modern medicines such as paracetamol.29
