研究目的： 探討糖尿病個案過去一年內補充與替代醫療（Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 簡稱CAM） 之使用情況。 研究方法： 以某醫院糖尿病門診個案為樣本，共收289位。採立意取樣和自擬結構性問卷，以面對面方式訪談。 資料分析： 研究資料以次數分配、百分比、平均值、標準差及卡方檢定等加以分析。 研究結果： 過去一年內，糖尿病個案使用CAM的盛行率為37%。最常使用CAM的種類為生物基礎療法佔 58.9%。而社會人口學、罹病情況與CAM的使用情形中，未達統計顯著差異（p＞0.05）。自覺健康 狀態與有無使用CAM達統計顯著差異（p＜0.001）。 結 論： 在醫療環境下，有必要瞭解病人對CAM的使用情形，提供醫療人員在臨床、教育、學術上之應用， 本研究之結果可做為未來整合醫療規劃之參考。

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) by diabetic patients in the past year. Methods: A total of 289 patients in a diabetic outpatient department participated in this study. The study involved purposive sampling, a self-structured questionnaire, and face-to-face interviews. Data analysis: Data were then analyzed through frequency, mean, standard deviation, and Chi-square. Result: The prevalence of diabetic patients using CAM was 37% within the past year. The most commonly used types of CAM were biological-based therapies (58.9%). There was no significant difference between socio-demographics and morbidity, and between CAM and non-CAM users (p＞0.05). There were differences in perceived health status, and whether the use of CAM was statistically significant (p＜ 0.001). Conclusion: In the medical environment, understanding patient CAM usage is necessary. Medical staffs in clinical and educational setting require academic references related to CAM, and the results of this study can be used as a reference for future healthcare planning.
