| Core Tip |
This medical-sociological interdisciplinary study examines factors influencing insomnia patients’ decisions to engage in acupuncture, utilizing the capability, opportunity, motivation - behavior model and theoretical domain framework. Key facilitators include cultural beliefs, concerns about hypnotic dependence, and encouragement from key opinion leaders, whereas barriers encompass limited knowledge, accessibility challenges, and needle-phobia. The findings underscore the multifaceted nature of this decision, shaped by treatment efficacy, cultural context, economic factors, and communication dynamics. Recommendations for clinicians and policymakers include enhancing patient education, improving treatment accessibility through public health measures, fostering effective doctor‒patient communication, and addressing needle phobia through cognitive interventions to optimize treatment adherence and outcomes. |
