Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health maintenance approach is widespread among the lay public as a tool of health maintenance and disease prevention across the globe. This study aims to investigate the factors that exert influences on the intention to adopt or continue using TCM health maintenance approach under the guideline of the extended theory of planned behavior. Based on an online survey on a Chinese national sample of 800 valid responses, this study indicates the respondents' spirituality and Chinese cultural orientation positively predict their attitude toward TCM health maintenance approach. In turn, their attitude, perceived behavioral control and norms positively predict the intention to adopt or continue using TCM health maintenance approach, as postulated in hypotheses. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
