The Relationship Between Cultural Factors and the Choice of Complementary and Alternative Health Services in Independent Nursing Practices in Bali
Abstract
Culture is a driving factor behind the high percentage of complementary and alternative health service selection. This study aims to determine the relationship between factors associated with the selection of complementary and alternative health services in Private Nursing Practices in Bali in 2024. The study design used a cross-sectional approach with a sample size of 113 people purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis was performed using Fisher's Exact Test and logistic regression. The results showed that technological factors, cultural values and lifestyle factors, economic factors, and educational level factors had p-values < α = 0.05. Meanwhile, religious and philosophical factors, as well as social and kinship factors, had p-values > α = 0.05. The Wald Sig value of 0.000 < 0.05 indicates that the dominant factor is technology. Based on the results of the study, choosing complementary and alternative health services and the high level of individualism cause a rift in social interaction and decision-making tends to be based on one's own opinion. It is hoped that the results of this study can be used as a reference to understand the differences in cultural backgrounds in the selection of complementary and alternative nursing services.
