Abstract
This study was performed on 171 workers in the Kyungbuk Kumi industrial complex to verify the validity and the reliability of the Korean version of the constitutions in a Chinese medicine questionnaire. Each subjective fulfilled a questionnaire of 61 questions in 9 categories based on a self-assessment. All categories and each constitution's internal consistency were analyzed using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient to review the questionnaire's reliability, and factor analysis and correlation analysis were performed to review the validity. The reliability was satisfied with Cronbach's alpha coefficient for all categories and each constitution's internal consistency ranged from 0.601 to 0.925, and the validity was verified by factor analysis, which showed the same two factors of each constitution. Correlation analysis of each constitution showed statistical significance and strong positive correlations among 8 constitutions except for the gentleness type (P=0.0127). As a result, it is believed that the Korean version of the constitutions in Chinese medicine questionnaire can be useful for diagnosing the constitutions of Koreans.
