Purpose: This exploratory study was to identify the use of complementary and alternative medicine(CAM) in women with breast cancer and to analyze which factor influence CAM use. Methods: 114 patients with breast cancer were identified and approached. The instrument used to gather data were the common types, main reasons and effects as well as stress, mood states and fatigue. Results: 42.7% of all participants reported the use of CAM. The most common types of CAM used were Phellinus linteus, elm tree, and vitamin C. The main reasons for CAM use were to boost the immune system and to prevent recurrence. Prayer, massage, Shitake mushroom, and Ganoderma lucidum were, identified as being more effective than others. 93.6% of the respondents informed their physicians of their use of CAM. Logistic regression analysis determined that stress, mood states, and duration after diagnosis were factors significantly associated with CAM use. Conclusion: CAM use is increasing among patients with breast cancer. Health care professionals are in the main position to identify what treatments patients are using and implement CAM therapies that can be helpful to relieve patient symptoms related to treatment and psychological distress.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the uses of complementary and alternative therapies(CAT), pain, and quality of life(QOL) in patients with chronic back pain. Method: A descriptive survey was conducted using convenient sample. One hundred sixty two patients with chronic back pain participated in this study. Types and satisfaction of CAT, pattern of back pain, and QOL were investigated. Result: 83.3% of all participants reported in the use of CAT. The most common types of CAT used were acupuncture and half-bath. Yoga were the most high satisfaction among the types. The mean score of back pain was 4.12, QOL was 3.10, that was mostly low score. There was no significant difference back pain and QOL between CAT user and nonuser. Correlation with satisfaction of CAT according the most using types were a negative correlation with back pain and a positive correlation with QOL.

Purpose: This study was to develop an online 'alternative therapy and health promotion' class for university students and to evaluate its changes. Method: The online class was developed based on the Instructional Systems Development(ISD) model and model of Web-Based Instruction(WBI) developmental process. This was a quasi-experimental, one group pretest-posttest design. The subjects of this study were 130 students in 3 universities, and they were provided the cyber class for 16 weeks. Data was analyzed by descriptive and plural answer statistics, and paired t-test. Results: The cyber class was developed in five steps : analysis, design, data collection and reconstruction, programing and publishing, and evaluation. The results of program evaluation were positive, which included learning 3.47. system 3.57, and learning satisfaction 3.64 on the scale of 5. The posttest scores of cognition and reliability of alternative therapy were higher than pretest scores. The posttest score of health promoting lifestyle(t=-5.051, p=.000) and perceived health status(t=2.979, p=.003) were significantly higher than those of the pretest. Conclusion: These results suggest that the cyber class is a positive method in increasing a cognition, reliability of alternative therapy, and is effective to improve a health promotion lifestyle and perceived health status for the university students.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the using pattern of alternative therapies in the elderly. Method: 197 subjects, persons who were more than 60 years old, we interviewed. We modified and complemented Shin's(2000) instrument in accordance with purpose of this study. Data were analyzed statistically by using SAS program. Result: 1. It was shown that 66.84% of subjects have utilized one or more types of alternative therapy. 2. It was shown that the most frequently used types are acupuncture (48.83%), and ethmoid bone therapy (42.75%). 3. Acupuncture was shown to be the most satisfactory type of therapy (14.50%). 4. There was a significant difference in the use ratio by sex; female 73.47% and male 60.20%. 5. Among users of alternative therapies, the most frequent responses to each question were as follows; 1. Motive of Use - "for complete cure of symptoms" (32.31%). 2. Side effects - "no side effects" (95.97%). Conclusion: We found that elderly persons used alternative therapies more frequently than others perpulations. Diet therapy and Hand therapy were most commonly used in older people. Although the elderly use alternative therapy, they cannot place confidence in its scientific reliability. Therefore, we need to examine the effects of alternative therapy.

Purpose: To identify factors influencing women's intention to take hormone replacement therapy(HRT). Method: A cross-sectional survey design was utilized. A total of 116 married women aged 40 to 60 were recruited from women's groups in communities. They completed a structured questionnaire containing demographic characteristics, Orientation to Life Questionnaire, Menopausal Symptom Checklist, Health Belief of Korean Adult, Sexrole Idea of Kim, Dong-il, chronic illnesses, and a single item measuring marital satisfaction. Result: Thirteen percents of the women were currently taking HRT and 28.4% had intention to take HRT. Education, sense of coherence, and sex role attitude were related to women's susceptibility to menopause. Hysterectomy status and the level of sense of coherence explained women's perception of seriousness regarding menopause. In addition, chronic health conditions accounted for the variances of benefits and barriers to HRT. Factors influencing women's intention to take HRT were education, menopausal symptoms, and perceived benefits of HRT. Conclusion: Women's chronic health conditions, psychosocial characteristics as well as menopausal discomforts were associated with women's choice regarding HRT. Other factors related to decision making process of women's health seeking behaviors need to be explored.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to study Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) used among degenerative arthritis patients in Korea. Method: This study used a descriptive survey method. Study subjects of the study were 278 degenerative arthritics selected from hospitals located in Kyungpook province and Daegu city. Data were collected between February 15, 2007 and March 31, 2007. Results: 62.6% of degenerative arthritics had used CAM. Manipulative Methods has shown to be one of the most effective methods on CAM. The utilization of CAM may be interpreted mainly due to the desperate need find therapeutics of their disease by all possible means (57.5%). Major factors that affect the decision of the patient include family, relatives, friends(42%), and the other patients who were in the similar circumstance (32.8%). Effectiveness of CAM has shown the following result "for complete cure of symptoms(77.0%), for health promotion (42.0%) and for psychological stabilization (29.9%)". 43.7% of the patients answered that they stopped of using CAM because of non-effectiveness.

이압요법은 보완·대체요법 중 하나로 귀를 인체의 축소판으로 보고 인체와 상응하는 귀 반응구역(점)에 자극을 주어 해당 장기의 증상 완화 및 치료 효과를 기대하는 중재법을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 이압요법이 제2형 당뇨병 노인의 혈당, 당화혈색소 및 혈중지질에 미치는 효과 알아보기 위해 시행한 연구이다. 본 연구는 무작위 배정, 단일 맹검, 플라세보 대조군 비교 설계를 이용한 실험연구로 자료수집은 2018년 3월 16일부터 2018년 5월 11일까지 이루어졌다. 제2형 당뇨병 노인을 실험군, 대조군에 각각 22명씩 배정하였다. 실험군은 당뇨병과 관련 있는 귀 반응구역(점)에 이압요법을 실시하였고, 대조군은 플라세보 이압요법을 실시하였다. 중재 효과를 확인하기 위해 매주 식후 2시간 혈당을 측정하였으며 사전 및 사후조사로 당화혈색소 및 혈중지질(중성지방, LDL 콜레스테롤, HDL 콜레스테롤)을 측정하였다. 본 연구결과 제2형 당뇨병 노인에게 이압요법을 적용하여 실험 전부터 실험 후까지 7회에 걸쳐 측정한 혈당은 그룹과 시간 경과의 상호작용이 유의한 것으로 나타났다(p=.030). 또한, 6주간의 이압요법 적용 후 실험군 내에서 당화혈색소는 유의하게 감소하였으나(t=-2.44, p=.024) 그룹 간 차이는 유의하지 않았고 중성지방, LDL 콜레스테롤, HDL 콜레스테롤 수치는 실험 전과 비교하여 두 그룹 간 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 본 연구에서 시행한 6주간의 이압요법은 제2형 당뇨병 노인의 식후혈당 및 당화혈색소를 감소시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이압요법은 임상현장에서 제2형 당뇨병 노인의 혈당 조절에 효과가 검증된 중재 요법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

최근 늘어나고 있는 스트레스로 인한 피로와 심리적 장애로 인해 현대인들은 고통 받고 있다. 다수의 사람들이 고통을 완화시키기 위해 약물치료에 의존하고 있는 추세이며 대체의학이나 대체요법으로 치료하는 사람들도 많이 있다. 그러나 약물치료는 약물 복용 후 더 많은 스트레스를 겪는 등 여러 가지 부작용을 가지고 있다. 이에 비해 대체요법의 테라피분야, 마사지, 발반사요법 등은 비 약물치료로써 인체에 부담이 덜하며 편안한 심신을 유지하며 치료받을 수 있는 부분이다. 이에 본 저자는 컬러테라피요법과 발반사요법의 장점을 종합하여 고통이 없이 간단한 방법으로 치료효과를 볼 수 있는 컬러 발반사요법(color foot reflexology)을 전 연구에서 공동개발한 바 있다. 이를 본 논문에서는 자극시 효과에 플라시보 효과를 대조군으로 비교하여 인체생리신호측정반응을 평가하여 발 컬러 반사요법이 인체생리반응에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 정량적으로 연구하였다. 최적화된 실험환경과 객관화된 시스템에서 건강한 성인군을 대상으로 실험하였다. 그 결과 자극을 주었을 때는 HRV에서 부교감신경의 증가세가 나타났으며 혈압, 맥박, 체온 말초혈류량이 활발하게 작용하는 변화를 보였다. 그러나 플라시보에서는 거의 변화가 없거나 뷸규칙적인 결과가 나타났다. 이결과는 컬러 발반사요법이 자율신경계와 인체생리적반응에 긍정적인 영향에 관계됨을 알 수 있으며 이는 개발 기기의 유효성을 증명하는데 좋은 자료로써 충분한 근거이다. 그리고 이의 연구결과를 바탕으로 향 후 발과 관련하여 불규칙적인 생리현상에 의한 질병이나 질환에 관하여 특정군을 대상으로 실험 연구하여 객관적인 실험검증을 할 계획이다.
