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. In conclusion, this study suggested that the development of alternative medicine requires efforts to improve the therapeutic effect of alternative medicine.

This study is carried in the goal to investigate the individual awareness rate about alternative therapy among the unspecified persons and their experience of using it, and to promote the diffusion of alternative therapy. The questionnaire research for this study has been conducted among 300 unspecified persons who live in some areas. The following is figured out in this study: 1. To the question of knowledge grade about alternative therapies, 44.4% of respondents answer they 'know a little.' 2. Regarding the experience of using alternative therapies, 22.6% of respondents answer 'Yes.' This rate is very low, the reason of it can be perceived that the names of categories in alternative therapies has not been showed to them and they don't have pre-knowledge about it. 3. The 166 persons of 248 reply that they use alternative therapies. This rate indicate their recognition of categories of alternative therapies, and the gap of the question of experience and using nowadays is interpreted to result from the gap of the pre-knowledge. 4. Regarding the field of the alternative therapies that the respondents want to learn, the first field the male respondents choose is acupuncture(41 persons, Res in needle, bloodletting, etc.), and the female respondents choose acupuncture firstly(20 persons). Therefore the learning courses of alternative therapies are more effective when the preference of men and women is considered. Consequently, both the research about the given kinds of alternative therapies with demonstration of their medical effect and the systematic promotion and education about alternative therapy is considered to be needed.

Purpose : This study describes how often complementary and alternative medical(CAM) therapies, what patterns of CAM therapies utilization, what types of CAM therapies and why CAM therapies are used in children and adolescent with chronic disease. Methods : We interviewed and filled out questionnaires with parents of patients suffering from asthma, atopic dermatitis, congenital myopathy, epilepsy and so on from Mar 2004 to Aug 2004. Results : Two hundred fifty two parents answered questionnaires; 160 cases(63.5 percent) had used CAM therapies. Utilization of CAM therapies according to each chronic disease was as follows : congenital myopathy(100 percent), atopic dermatitis(91.1 percent), asthma(72.5 percent), chronic diarrhea (50.0 percent), epilepsy(17.1 percent) etc. Types of CAM therapy were as follows : dietary supplement (31.1 percent), herb medicine(23.4 percent), massage(14.2 percent), acupuncture(4.6 percent) etc. Sixty four(40.0 percent) case underwent more than two types of CAM therapies simultaneously. One hundred thirty three(83.1 percent) case were asked through non-medical prescription. Ninety nine(61.9 percent) case were recognized positive effect of CAM therapies. Parents' and childrens' ages were influential factors in CAM therapies utilization : the older the parents and the younger the children, the higher the utilization. Conclusion : Although patients receive treatment with western medicine, many of them not only undergo CAM therapies, especially more than two types, but also recognize the positive effects of CAM therapies. As a result, we suggest that it is easy to use of CAM therapies, and the positive effects of CAM therapies are prominent, domestically. Therefore, medical approach and study about the effectiveness and side effects of CAM therapies is necessary to avoid the imprudent use of such therapies.

목표 : 본 연구는 인천 지역에 사는 24~60개월 영유아를 가진 부모들의 보완대체요법에 대한 인식을 조사한 연구로, 보완대체요법 활용을 통한 한방과의 연계에 대한 가능성을 타진하기 위해 연구되었다. 방법 : 박지현(2007)이 사용한 질문지를 본 연구에 맞게 수정 보완하여 사용하였다. 수집한 자료는 SPSS 12를 사용하여 분석하였다. 결과 : 1) 영유아를 둔 한국의 모든 어머니는 자녀의 건강에 관심이 많았으며, 올바른 생활 습관을 갖게 하는 것이 가장 중요하다고 생각하였다. 2) 실제 80% 정도의 부모가 자녀에게 보완대체요법을 제공하였으며, 주로 예방차원에서 제공하기 때문에 질병이 발생하기 전에 사용을 하였다. 3) 보완대체요법은 질병이 발생했을 때 사용을 하지만, 보완대체요법의 사용은 주로 병원치료와 병행하는 경우가 많았다. 4) 직접 보완대체요법을 사용한 부모들의 80% 정도는 긍정적인 반응을 보였고, 이들 중 81% 정도는 다시 사용을 하겠다는 반응을 보였다. 결론 : 영유아 부모들은 건강 증진을 위한 보완대체의학에 대해 긍정적으로 인식하고 있었다. 이러한 결과는 한의학 영역에서 영유아 부모들에게 자녀의 건강을 효과적으로 증진시킬 수 있는 전문적인 의료지식뿐만 아니라 이들이 한의학에 접근할 수 있는 다양한 방법을 고안할 필요성을 제시하고 있다.

본 연구는 말기콩팥질환자의 대체요법 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 시도하였다. 자료수집은 2010년 4월 13일부터 5월 13일까지 서울의 한 종합병원 신장내과에 내원한 201명을 대상으로 설문 및 면접조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 이용기간과 연령과는 양의 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.159, p<0.05). 둘째, 만성콩팥병의 대체요법 이용에 영향요인은 연령이 많을수록(${\beta}$=1.64), 대체이용기간이 길수록(${\beta}$=0.059), 월비용이 높을수록(${\beta}$=0.003), 질병이환기간(${\beta}$=2.147)이 길수록 대체요법 이용은 증가하였다. 따라서 초기에는 말기 콩팥질환자들에게 대체요법의 효과와 한계를 지도해야 하며 환자들에게 영향을 주는 가족들에게도 올바른 정보를 제공해야 할 것이다.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with mortality and may lead to increased medical expense. A modified criteria (pediatric RIFLE [pRIFLE]: Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, and End-stage renal disease) has been proposed to standardize the definition of AKI. The common causes of AKI are renal ischemia, nephrotoxic medications, and sepsis. A majority of critically ill children develop AKI by the pRIFLE criteria and need to receive intensive care early in the course of AKI. Factors influencing patient survival (pediatric intensive care unit discharge) are known to be low blood pressure at the onset of renal replacement therapy (RRT), the use of vasoactive pressors during RRT, and the degrees of fluid overload at the initiation of RRT. Early intervention of continuous RRT (CRRT) has been introduced to reduce mortality and fluid overload that affects poor prognosis in patients with AKI. Here, we briefly review the practical prescription of pediatric CRRT and literatures on the outcomes of patients with AKI receiving CRRT and associations among AKI, fluid overload, and CRRT. In conclusion, we suggest that an increased emphasis should be placed on the early initiation of CRRT and fluid overload in the management of pediatric AKI.
