Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the perception of alternative medicine and factors affecting the intention to use for nurses and caregiver. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, this study was conducted to examine the awareness of alternative medicine, use experience, and intention to use for 400 workers in hospitals and nursing homes. The results of the analysis are summarized as follows. Recognition of alternative medicine effected on reliability of alternative medicine, awareness and use experience. In addition, experience with alternative medicine has a negative impact on the intention to use alternative medicine.

본 연구는 대체요법과 관련이 있는 분야에 종사하는 의료분야와 복지분야의 종사자을 대상으로 대체요법에 대한 인지도를 파악하고 향후 대체요법의 이용의향에 영향을 미치는 요인이 무엇인지에 대한 경험적으로 논증함으로써 향후 대체요법의 발전방향을 모색하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 광주 전남지역의 의료계 및 복지계에 종사하는 종사자 400명을 대상으로 대체요법의 인지도 및 이용경험, 이용의향 등을 조사하였다. 분석결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 먼저, 대체요법의 인식은 대체의학에 대한 신뢰도 그리고 인지도와 이용경험이 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 대체요법에 대한 신뢰도가 낮을수록 대체의학에 대해서는 긍정적인 태도보다는 부정적인 태도를 보이는 것으로 나타났고, 대체요법을 경험하지 않은 이용자보다는 대체요법을 경험한 이용자가 대체의학에 대해서 부정적인 인식이 강한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 대체요법의 이용경험이 대체요법을 활용한 향후 치료의향에도 부정적인 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이 같은 분석결과를 토대로 본 연구는 대체요법이 현대의학이 해결할 수 없는 대체 치료방법론으로서 환자와 일반시민에게 인식되기 위해서는 결국 치료의 효과성을 높이기 위한 노력이 필요하다는 점을 제언하였다.
