Abstract

Objectives This study was done to confirm reliability, validity and the internal structure of the Korean Medicine Satisfaction Questionnaire(KMSQ). Methods 154 parents who visited in Department of Pediatrics of Korean Medicine, University Hospital participated in this study. They were statistically analyzed by using PASW Statistics 20.0K for Windows. Results Factor analyses were largely divided into six categories such as Hospital, Waiting & Consultation Time, Doctor, Medicine, Therapy, and Cost. The validity and reliability of KMSQ were favorable. The highest average score of satisfaction was Doctor category as $4.20{\pm}0.51$ and the lowest one was Cost as $3.33{\pm}0.71$. The six factors showed highly positive relationship from correlation analysis. The result of comparative study on parent's demographic characteristics showed only one significant difference in satisfaction of Doctor within occupation. The result of comparative study on child's demographic characteristics showed significantly different in satisfaction of Therapy within gender, and of Medicine within age. Every average score of satisfaction showed somewhat difference within each section, and only 5.6% of them showed significantly difference in T-test. Conclusions Uses and research with the KMSQ as subjective tool in various department or medical institution are suggested.
