Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Numerous forums both domestically and internationally have discussed integration of allopathic and traditional healthcare. In South Africa, using traditional child healthcare is popular practice. If properly controlled, integrating this aspect of traditional child-health with allopathic healthcare may be advantageous to communities that use both healthcare systems. Allopathic and traditional healthcare remain separate organisations in South Africa despite efforts and discussions to integrate them.
UNASSIGNED: The study sought to explore the integration of traditional and allopathic child healthcare from the perspectives of children\'s caregivers and traditional healthcare practitioners.
UNASSIGNED: The study was conducted in a semi-urban area in the city of Tshwane.
UNASSIGNED: An exploratory qualitative research study was conducted using semi-structured interviews to collect data from 11 traditional healthcare practitioners and 15 children\'s caregivers who were sampled using snowball and convenient sampling respectively.
UNASSIGNED: The participants expressed their understanding of the usage of traditional healthcare practitioners in the care of children as well as their support for integration, and further indicated its necessity. Religion and its effects in health-seeking behaviour were cited as a factor in why there has not been greater integration between the two healthcare systems.
UNASSIGNED: The undocumented and undisclosed use of traditional healthcare potentially hinders the delivery of therapeutic healthcare. As such, integrating the two systems is essential to ensure patients\' safety.
UNASSIGNED: This article highlights understanding of culture congruence and safe child healthcare that may be brought forward by the integration of the two healthcare systems.

摘要：
■国内外许多论坛都讨论了对抗疗法和传统医疗保健的整合。在南非,使用传统的儿童保健是流行的做法。如果控制得当,将传统儿童健康的这一方面与对抗疗法医疗保健相结合，对于使用两种医疗保健系统的社区可能是有利的。对抗疗法和传统医疗保健在南非仍然是独立的组织，尽管他们的努力和讨论整合。
■本研究试图从儿童看护者和传统保健医生的角度探讨传统和对抗疗法儿童保健的整合。
■这项研究是在茨瓦恩市的一个半市区进行的。
■使用半结构化访谈进行了一项探索性定性研究，以收集11名传统医疗保健从业人员和15名儿童护理人员的数据，他们分别使用滚雪球和方便采样进行了采样。
■参与者表达了他们对传统医疗保健从业者在儿童护理中的使用以及对整合的支持的理解，并进一步表明了其必要性。宗教及其对寻求健康行为的影响被认为是两个医疗保健系统之间没有更大融合的一个因素。
■传统医疗保健的未记录和未公开的使用可能会阻碍治疗性医疗保健的提供。因此，整合这两个系统对于确保患者安全至关重要。
■本文重点介绍了两种医疗保健系统的整合可能带来的对文化一致性和安全儿童医疗保健的理解。
