Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out how to apply CAM to college students by studying the perceptions and application factors of CAM, the actual condition of application, satisfaction according to sex, and usefulness. The subjects of this study are narrative research on H university students in Chungnam. The results of this study showed that 150(50.3%) respondents recognized CAM as an auxiliary means of modern medicine, 61(20.3%) mental and psychological stability (33.7%), and the satisfaction rate of CAM according to gender was higher in women than in men. The usefulness of CAM was 2.60, and the improvement and characteristics were 2.32 and 2.80, respectively. As a result of this study, it is necessary for university students who are the foundation of society to correctly recognize and promote CAM to prevent disease and maintain health. In addition, the analysis of the recognition and application factors of CAM, and the satisfaction according to gender, could provide information for program development of CAM in the future.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생들을 대상으로 보완대체의학에 대한 인식 및 적용요인, 적용실태, 성별에 따른 만족도, 유용성에 관한 연구로 추후 보완대체의학의 활용방안을 마련하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구는 충남에 소재한 H대학교 대학생들을 대상으로 한 서술적 조사 연구이다. 본 연구 결과 인식, 적용요인 및 실태로는 보완대체의학을 현대의학의 보조 수단으로 인식한 응답이 150명(50.3%), 적용요인으로 정신적 심리적 안정감이 61명(20.3%), 적용질환으로는 근골격계 질환자가 101명(33.7%)으로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 성별에 따른 보완대체의학에 대한 만족도에서는 여성이 남성보다 높게 나타났다. 보완대체의학의 유용성 적용 시 장점은 2.60이었으며, 개선점과 특징은 2.32, 일반적 인식은 2.80을 보여 유용성에 대한 지식수준이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과 사회의 기반이 되는 대학생들의 질병예방과 건강유지를 위하여 보완대체의학의 올바른 인식 보급이 필요하다. 또한 보완대체의학의 인식과 적용요인, 성별에 따른 만족도를 분석한 결과 향후 보완대체의학 프로그램 개발을 위한 정보로 제시할 수 있을 것이다.
