Objective: to examine the acceptance of medication use by the Pitaguary indigenous group, especially those from Maracana煤-CE. Methodology: An observational and descriptive case with the Pitaguary indigenous group, in the use of natural plants as a medicinal treatment, in Maracana煤-CE. The interviews took place using a questionnaire adapted from the SATIS-BR scale. Results: The majority of the Pitaguary population in the interview presented chronic disease (diabetes or hypertension). Only 13.3% do not follow up with the community medical doctor. 20% mix treatments between conventional and herbal medications. 67.2% use a non-secure method to identify medication. 52% suspend the conventional drug in the middle of treatment to use only herbal plants suggested by the village shaman. Discussion: Health education ends up being the main strategy when working with the indigenous population and the use of medicinal plants associated with the use of commercial drugs. As observed in this research, 52% of the population give up using the medication prescribed by the family health team to maintain the use of herbal plants only. Conclusion: There needs to be a culturally sensitive approach that considers indigenous traditions and beliefs to improve medication adherence in indigenous groups.</p>}, number={2}, journal={香港六合彩开奖结果}, author={Pantoja, Patricia da Silva and Cintia Laurindo Porto, Andr茅a and de Alencar Holanda, Eloisa and Lima Fernandes, Roberta and Bianca Farias Sousa, Ant么nia and Let铆cia Frota da Silva, Kelvia and Terra Ten贸rio Nonato, Dayane}, year={2023}, month={Dec.} }
