1. 연구배경 및 목적 : 사상의학은 사람의 체질을 넷으로 나누면서부터 출발한다. 그러나 체질을 판별하기 위해서는 사진(四診)을 중심으로 종합적으로 판단하게 되어 있어 객관성이 부족하기 쉽다. 체질을 객관적으로 진단하기 위한 여러 가지 방법 중에서 자기보고식 설문조사법이 일반적으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 설문조사법도 설문지의 종류에 따라서 다른 결과를 나타내는 경우가 많다. 본 연구는 사상체질을 진단하기 위해 사용되는 설문지별 체질분포 특성과 설문지간의 판정 일치도를 비교 분석하여 설문지로 사상체질 유형을 가려내는데 도움을 주고자 하였다. 2. 방법 1997년부터 1999년까지 특별한 질병이 없는 한국인 1595명(단QSCC I은 348명)을 대상으로 하여 사상변증내용설문조사지(I), 사상체질분류검사 I(QSCC I), 사상체질분류검사II(QSCCII)의 세가지 설문지를 작성하게 하여 그 결과를 비교하였다. 3. 연구결과 및 결론 : 체질분포 특성은 사상변증내용설문조사지(I)은 소음인(55.9%), 태음인(21.2%), 소양인(12.8%), 태양인(3.9%)의 순서를 보였고, 사상변증내용설문조사지(I)을 판별식을 이용하여 재분석한 결과에서는 태음인(39.1%), 소음인(33.6%), 소양인(27.3%)의 순서로 체질분포 경향을 보였다. QSCC I에서는 소양인(559.1%), 태양인(34.8%), 태음인(5.6%), 소음인(0.6%)의 순서를 보였고, QSCCII에서는 태음인(34.8%), 소음인(34.7%), 소양인(30.5%)의 순서로 체질분포 경향을 보였다. 체질판정 일치율은 사상변증내용설문조사지(I)과 이 자료를 판별식을 이용하여 판별한 결과가 제일 높았으나 이것은 동일 설문지를 재분석한 것이며, 다음은 사상변증내용설문조사지(I)의 판별식에 의한 분석법과 QSCCII의 일치율이 55.6%로 높게 나타났다. 설문지를 이용하여 체질을 임상적으로 진단할 때는 사상변증내용설문조사지(I)을 판별식을 이용한 결과와 QSCCII의 결과를 함께 참고하여 체질진단에 이용하는 것이 가장 타당한 방법이라고 생각되며, QSCC I을 체질진단에 이용하는 것은 바람직하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

Objectives : This study was conducted in order to analyze the admission patients of facial nerve paralysis by Sasang constitution. Methods: A clinical study was done on 61 admission patients who were diagnosed and treated as facial nerve paralysis (Bell's palsy) from September, 2005 to May 2006 at the Dept. of Acupuncture and Moxibution, Chung-ju Hospital, college of Daejeon Oriental Medicine. We classified 61 patients according to Sasang constitution by QSCC II, attack side, sex, cause factor, concomitant symptom and Yanagihara' s score at the admission and discharge, and analyzed the improvement of Yanagihara's score between Sasang constitution groups. Results: 1. By sex, the ratio of Taeumin was higher than that of Soyangin in female. 2. By attack side, there is no significant difference between constitution groups In concomitant symptoms and cause factors. 3. By improvement of Yanagihara's scores between admission and discharge, the improvement score in Soyangin was a little bit higher than that in Soeumin, but there is no significant difference. Conclusion : The results suggest that there is no significant difference in all aspects except sex in Sasang constitution. But it is considered that we need to keep on studying afterwards because we had limits in getting enough patients.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological characteristics of the Sasang constitutions by using Braverman nature assessment (BNA). Methods: One hundred seventy-four students participated in this study, and among them, the 142 individuals who had clearly identified Sasang constitutional types were used for the analysis. Sasang constitutions and the Braverman temperaments of the subjects were determined by using a questionnaire for the Sasang constitution classification (QSCC) II and BNA, respectively. Body mass index (BMI) was used to compare the inclinations of the Sasang constitutions and Braverman temperament types. Results: Significant differences in Braverman temperament type existed among the Sasang constitutions (P = 0.042), and the relations between Soyangin and the dopamine type and between Taeeumin and the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type were meaningful. Significant differences were also shown in the comparison with the Yin and the Yang constitutions (P = 0.017), and the post-hoc analysis showed a strong and significant relation between the Yang constitution and the dopamine type and between the Yin constitution and the GABA type. The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the independent t-test were conducted to examine the BMI and the degree of obesity among the Sasang constitutions and the Braverman temperament types. Concerning the BMI, Taeeumin showed a bigger BMI than the other constitutions (P < 0.001), but no significant differences in the BMI were observed between the Braverman temperament types. Conclusion: Soyangin has a close relationship to the dopamine type and Taeeumin has a close relationship to the GABA type. The correlation between two types were more clear when the Yin and the Yang types were compared to Braverman temperaments. These results may serve as a basis for identifying the psychological traits of Sasang constitutional types, especially in regard to the characteristics related to the four Braverman temperament types.

Purpose : To investigate and compare the characteristics of menstruation in the shift workers and the day workers, and present guidelines for health promotion of the shift-working women. Methods : Questionnaires including general health condition and QSCC II were distributed to shift-working women and day-working women in one university hospital in Gyeonggi-do and 36 questionnaires of shift-working women and 33 of day-working women were analyzed. Results : Day workers were about 5 years older than shift workers on average. There was more irregularity of menstrual cycle and period in day-working group but it is thought to incorrect because of the age problem. There were more women who have dysmenorrhea in day-working group, but the proportion of dysmenorrhea which continues more than 72 hours -which is very suggestive of secondary dysmenorrhea- was higher in shift-working group. Average VAS of dysmenorrhea was nearly the same in two groups. The life of shift-working group was lesser satisfactory than that of day-working group. There were more sleep disturbances in the shift-working group. Sasang constitution was analyzed in both group using QSCC II, and Taeumin were more in shift-working group. Conclusion : As the number of shift-working women increases, needs for oriental medical treatments would increase because it is more natural and lesser invasive managements which women are very interested in. So it is thought to be necessary to understand health problems of shift-working women, and prepare guidelines for managements and treatments to promote the health of shift-working women.
