Abstract

Objectives : This study aims to investigate the recognition on Mibyeong among Korean Medicine doctors (KMDs) and to suggest institutional approaches for the active use of Mibyeong. Methods : On-line survey for KMDs who were registered in the Association of Korean Medicine was performed. The survey questionnaires included definitions and categories of Mibyeong, clinical use of Mibyeong, and the need for developing Mibyeong care packages, etc. Results : Of 18,344 KMDs who were received survey e-mail, 884 KMDs replied. As for the awareness of the Mibyeong, over 80% of the KMDs agreed the definitions based on patients' subjective symptoms and Korean Medicine theories. 36.1% of respondents used the term Mibyeong in the medical record, and 38.6% used when they explained the patients' condition to the patients. A majority of respondents agreed with the need for a developing Mibyeong care package. Developing the standard methods for Mibyeong assessment was the primary requisite on Mibyeong research. Conclusions : Currently the level of recognition and use of Mibyeong among Korean Medicine doctors was relatively low. To promote the use of Mibyeong in the clinical field, the standard methods for Mibyeong assessment and Mibyeong care package need to be developed.
