“…Six per cent of the total suffered from major depression and 25.3% of the total met the criteria for at least one anxiety disorder. Unutzer et al (2000) used data from a national household telephone survey conducted in 1997-98 in the USA to examine the relationship between mental disorders and the use of complementary therapies. The sample of 14,985 included those reporting psychological distress or mental health service use in addition to non-distressed nonusers.…”

Objective: Common mental disorders constitute a considerable disease burden in low-income countries, and there is a need for acceptable and effective brief interventions for such disorders in low-income countries. This article examines cultural based interpretations of the diagnosis of panic disorder (PD) in a rural Tanzanian hospital setting through clinical work. It also examines how to adapt and apply brief cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) interventions to this setting. Method: A qualitative analysis of clinical data from ten participants in a hospital-setting in rural Tanzania. Results: The analysis suggests that the diagnosis of PD is relevant to this rural Tanzanian setting. Patients, relatives, and health personnel at the hospital accepted brief CBT interventions for PD and regarded psychoeducational information to patients as especially useful. Conclusion: A manual for brief interventions for PD may be adapted to a rural Tanzanian setting, also taking into consideration the limited financial and human resources in a rural low-income country setting.

AbstrakSampai saat ini masih sedikit informasi dari hasil-hasil penelitian tentang pemanfaatan terapi tradisional dan alternatif oleh para penderita gangguan jiwa di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana pemanfaatan terapi tradisional dan alternatif di antara penderita gangguan jiwa di Indonesia. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan Charmaz Constructive Grounded Theory untuk mengeksplorasi pemanfaatan terapi tradisional dan alternatif di antara pasien yang menderita gangguan jiwa. Metode pengumpulan data termasuk interaksi langsung (wawancara semi-terstruktur), document review, catatan lapangan dan memo. Data analisis menggunakan pendekatan Paille data analisis. Penelitian menghasilkan lima kategori: 1) kerasukan oleh setan atau roh; 2) penyakit akibat berdosa; 3) Berobat ke tradisional dulu baru akhirnya ke rumah sakit jiwa; 4) kekerasan; 5) takut dengan pengobatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terapi tradisional dan alternatif dan orang pintar (dukun, para pemimpin agama Islam, pendeta, paranormal dan pengobatan tradisional Cina) memiliki peran sentral dalam mendukung dan menawarkan solusi ketika seseorang memiliki gangguan jiwa di Indonesia. Para terapis atau 'orang pintar' biasanya merupakan pilihan pertama dari keluarga dan anggota 'masyarakat lainnya jika berhubungan dengan terapi yang orang yang menderita gangguan jiwa. Penelitian lanjut diperlukan untuk melihat efektivitas terapi tradisional dan alternatif ini yang masih kurang diteliti dan didokumentasikan di Indonesia.

Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian kuantitatif diperlukan untuk meneliti faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pemanfaaatan terapi tradisional dan alternatif oleh penderita gangguan jiwa di Indonesia.Kata kunci: Gangguan jiwa, terapi, tradisional-alternatif.
