- Abstract
The article points out changes in perceptions of health and remedy of the Red Yao in Phuc Son commune, Chiem Hoa district, Tuyen Quang province. In the past, the Red Yao perceived that health and causes of disease were closely related to spirits, gods, ghosts and devils; now, nutrition and working conditions, weather changes are also considered as causality of human disease. Besides the practice of traditional remedies such as traditional medicinal herbs, healing rituals and tips, the Red Yao also use modern healthcare methods. Reasons for such changes, on one hand, are policies of the state that pay more attention on community healthcare in ethnic minority areas; on the other hand, those changes are due to impacts of socioeconomic factors that improve living conditions of the Red Yao, so are their perceptions. Changes in perceptions of health and selection of healing methods help them reduce risks and expenses related to their healthcare. However, today, the Red Yao are faced with numerous financial difficulties in using modern healthcare services, especially in the case of serious diseases. Therefore, the combination of traditional practice and modern healthcare services is now considered as ultimate strategy for improving health and labor quality of the Red Yao that help strengthen their productive labor and improve their household income.
