Abstract

This study investigates the contribution of traditional medicine on health care access in Indonesia through a quantitative cross-cultural approach. Utilizing a sample of 350 individuals that is diverse in terms of age, gender, and ethnic background, the study investigates the prevalence and characteristics that impact the use of traditional medicine. The findings show that traditional healing methods are heavily relied upon, especially by elderly people and members of specific ethnic groups. The necessity for culturally responsive healthcare practices is highlighted by the discovery that cultural beliefs are important determinants of health-seeking behaviour. The results add to the growing body of knowledge about the integration of traditional medicine into modern healthcare systems by highlighting the significance of customizing therapies to the many cultural settings found throughout Indonesia.

Abstract

The exploration of collaborative research in healthcare is a dynamic and multifaceted endeavor, as evidenced by analysis of influential articles, citation patterns, and keyword frequencies. Davenport and Prusak's seminal work on knowledge management serves as a foundational foundation, emphasizing the critical role of effective knowledge utilization and sharing in collaborative healthcare research. This research explores linkages with other influential articles, including Scott's examination of social network analysis, Star and Griesemer's insights on institutional ecology, and Tranfield et al.'s methodology on evidence-based knowledge management. Further analysis extends to works on thematic analysis, inter-organizational collaboration, cancer genomics, and qualitative research methods, all of which contribute to a rich tapestry of collaborative healthcare research. Keyword analysis revealed thematic priorities, with a major focus on "Care" and "Experience", emphasizing the human dimension of healthcare. Challenges, technology and organizational aspects emerged as prominent themes, reflecting a holistic approach to collaborative exploration. The interplay between keywords such as "Dynamic", "Mechanisms", and "Performance" underscores the evolving nature of collaborative efforts and the need for strategic mechanisms to address challenges and improve performance. The analysis also highlights contemporary concerns, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, barriers to collaboration, and the intersection of mental health and social media.
