We compared knowledge of, attitudes toward, and experience with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) among Western medicine-trained doctors (WMDs) and Oriental medicine-trained doctors (OMDs).
In Korea, 502 WMDs and 500 OMDs were interviewed with a structured questionnaire.
OMDs held more favorable attitudes toward CAM than did WMDs. OMDs possessed a deeper understanding of and greater experience with CAM. OMDs more readily endorsed health beliefs congruent with CAM.
In the future, CAM can be more readily used by OMDs than by WMDs. Because evidence for the effectiveness of CAM remains sparse, more research is needed for the prudent use of CAM in Korea. An education and training system for potential CAM providers remains to be developed.
我们比较了接受西医培训的医生(WMDs)和接受东方医学培训的医生(OMDs)在补充和替代医学(CAM)方面的知识、态度和经验。
在韩国,对502名WMDs和500名OMDs进行了结构化问卷调查。
OMDs对CAM的态度比WMDs更积极。OMDs对CAM有更深入的理解和更多的经验。OMDs更容易认可与CAM一致的健康观念。
未来,OMDs比WMDs更有可能使用CAM。由于CAM有效性的证据仍然稀少,韩国需要更多研究以谨慎使用CAM。潜在CAM提供者的教育和培训系统仍有待开发。
