Abstract

Objectives: This study was conducted to find out the general public's perception of Korean Medicine (KM) treatment for traffic accident (TA) patients during pregnancy. Methods: A self-developed questionnaire was distributed to outpatients and inpatients between the ages of 19 and 70 at KM hospitals located in Bucheon. The subjects were asked whether they thought KM treatment could be applied to TA patients during pregnancy. The perceptions of acupuncture, pharmacupuncture, herbal medicine, and Chuna treatment during pregnancy were also investigated. Results: 87.50% answered that KM treatment could be applied to TA patients during pregnancy. Most respondents thought that musculoskeletal symptoms of TA could be treated with KM (85.71%). 93.75%, 87.50%, 56.25%, and 52.08% of the respondents said they were willing to recommend acupuncture, pharmacupuncture, herbal medicine, and Chuna treatment to patients after TA during pregnancy. The respondents answered that acupuncture (95.83%), pharmacupuncture (91.67%), herbal medicine (62.50%), and Chuna (66.67%) is effective for pain controlling during pregnancy, and acupuncture (8.33%), pharmacupuncture (12.50%), herbal medicine (45.83%), and Chuna (39.58%) could be affect the risk of premature birth, miscarriage or birth defects. Conclusions: Acupuncture and pharmacupunture treatment are perceived positively, whereas herbal medicine and Chuna treatment are perceived negatively by the general public for the TA patients during pregnancy. In order to establish the correct awareness of KM treatment for TA patients during pregnancy, more clinical studies and case reports on the efficacy and safety of KM treatment during pregnancy are required.
