Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo contribuir para caracterizar os comportamentos e atitudes na saúde e na doença da população muçulmana que vive em Portugal, em função dos costumes ensinados pelo Islão. Pretende-se estudar em particular a adoção das opções terapêuticas propostas pela religião islâmica e a interação com os cuidados de saúde prescritos pela medicina ocidental para que haja uma melhor interação entre os utentes e farmacêuticos.
Métodos: Este estudo segue um desenho transversal e descritivo. Foi elaborado um inquérito dirigido aos professantes da fé muçulmana, para caracterizar alguns dos hábitos e costumes da comunidade muçulmana quanto à saúde e ao tratamento das doenças. Cerca de 100 muçulmanos receberam o convite para participar entre 1 de março de 2019 e 30 de setembro de 2019, após aprovação ética do estudo pelo líder espiritual e responsável legal da comunidade (Sheik Munir) que informou a comunidade e convidou à participação. O estudo seguiu todas as regras de boa prática da investigação que envolve dados pessoais, sendo totalmente anónimo e voluntário. O inquérito foi primeiramente testado pela equipa de investigação e colaboradores e seguidamente foi sujeito a um ensaio piloto constituído por 10 indivíduos da população interesse.
Resultados: Em termos de prática religiosa, a amostra observou os princípios fundamentais de seguir os ditames, Alcorão e jejuns. 60,3% dos entrevistados revelaram associar a recitação de versículos ao tratamento médico, enquanto 49,3% associam os versículos a opções de medicina alternativa.
De entre as limitações do Alcorão quanto à ingestão de determinadas substâncias, 61,9% dos entrevistados referiram não tomar cápsulas de gelatina e 82,9% medicamentos com álcool na sua composição. O mandamento de não jejuar em caso de doença crônica foi seguido por 67,2%. O produto usado com mais frequência foi o mel, principalmente para dor de garganta, seguido por água de Zam-Zam e azeite, ambos contribuindo para uma boa saúde geral.
Conclusão: Os muçulmanos têm por norma utilizar a medicina profética associada à medicina ocidental: acreditam que a sinergia destas duas poderá trazer melhores resultados para a saúde.
Os versículos mais recitados foram o 1:1 e o 2:255, indicados para a proteção da saúde em geral. Os medicamentos contendo álcool e gelatina de origem animal são evitados. Os jejuns do mês do Ramadão não são cumpridos na maior parte dos portadores de doenças crónicas. Os produtos mais consumidos pelos respondentes, como produtos que trazem benefícios para a saúde foram o mel, a água de Zam-Zam (sendo esta mais consumida por representantes do sexo feminino), o azeite de oliveira e o cardo mariano.
Objectives: This study aims to contribute to characterize the health and illness behaviors and attitudes of the Muslim population living in Portugal, according to the customs taught by Islam. It is intended to study in particular the adoption of the therapeutic options proposed by the Islamic religion and the interaction with healthcare prescribed by Western medicine so that there is a better interaction between users and pharmacists. Methods: This study follows a cross-sectional and descriptive design. A survey was carried out aimed at adherents of the Muslim faith, to characterize some of the habits and customs of the Muslim community regarding health and treatment of diseases. About 100 Muslims were invited to participate between March 1, 2019 and September 30, 2019, after ethical approval of the study by the spiritual leader and legal guardian of the community (Sheik Munir) who informed the community and invited them to participate. The study followed all the rules of good practice in the investigation involving personal data, being completely anonymous and voluntary. The survey was first tested by the research team and collaborators and then subjected to a pilot trial consisting of 10 individuals from the population of interest. Results: In terms of religious practice, the sample observed the fundamental principles of following the dictates, Qur'an and fasts. 60.3% of the interviewees revealed that they associated the recitation of verses with medical treatment, while 49.3% associated the verses with alternative medicine options. Among the limitations of the Qur'an regarding the ingestion of certain substances, 61.9% of the interviewees reported not taking gelatin capsules and 82.9% medicines with alcohol in their composition. The commandment not to fast in case of chronic illness was followed by 67.2%. The most frequently used product was honey, mainly for sore throat, followed by Zam-Zam water and olive oil, both of which contribute to overall good health. Conclusion: Muslims usually use prophetic medicine associated with Western medicine: they believe that the synergy of these two could bring better health results. The most recited verses were 1: 1 and 2: 255, indicated for the protection of health in general. Medicines containing alcohol and gelatin of animal origin are avoided. Ramadan fasts are not fulfilled in most people with chronic diseases. The products most consumed by the respondents, as products that bring health benefits were honey, water from Zam-Zam (this being most consumed by female representatives), olive oil and marian thistle.
