To develop a Korean version of the Integrative Medicine Attitude Questionnaire (IMAQ) in order to evaluate physician attitudes toward integrative medicine/complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
We developed a Korean IMAQ through careful translation of the 28-item questionnaire developed by Schmidt et al. A web-based survey was sent via email to 118 primary care physicians in Korea. The complete respose rate wasa 52.5%. The questionnaire's reliability and validity were verified using Cronbach's α, factor analysis, and discriminant analysis.
Although the Korean IMAQ exhibited excellent internal consistency, its validity was insufficient. Our results suggest that Western and Korean physicians may have different understandings of CAM and the concept of holism, as factor analysis showed that incorrectly classified items were mainly part of the holism conceptual domain. Furthermore, the sum of the items within the holism conceptual domain was not significantly different for physicians who had previously received CAM education.
This study developed and tested the first Korean IMAQ. We found that this version of the questionnaire lacks sufficient validity and requires further modification.
开发韩国版的综合医学态度问卷（IMAQ），以评估医生对综合医学/补充和替代医学（CAM）的态度。
我们通过仔细翻译施密特等人编制的28项问卷，开发了韩国版IMAQ。通过电子邮件向韩国118名初级保健医生发送了基于网络的调查问卷。完整回复率为52.5%。使用克朗巴哈α系数、因子分析和判别分析对问卷的信度和效度进行了验证。
尽管韩国版IMAQ表现出出色的内部一致性，但其效度不足。我们的结果表明，西方医生和韩国医生对补充和替代医学以及整体观概念可能有不同理解，因为因子分析显示分类错误的项目主要是整体观概念领域的一部分。此外，对于之前接受过补充和替代医学教育的医生，整体观概念领域内项目的总和没有显著差异。
本研究开发并测试了首个韩国版IMAQ。我们发现该版本问卷缺乏足够的效度，需要进一步修改。
