Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of the Korean medicine in treating dysmenorrhea as a part of school health program (SHP) and satisfaction rate of the participated students in this program. With this study, we tried to contribute to the development of health promotion program of Korean medicine.
Methods: As part of the ‘Korean Medicine Health Promotion Project’, we conducted a dysmenorrhea program at one of many high schools in Eumseong-gun. From April to June 2018, we conducted the promotion program a total of 7 times and analyzed the questionnaire regarding satisfaction and the monthly experience of menstruation.
Results: The study participants’ grade distribution was 2nd grade 32, 3rd grade 23 with a total 55 students. Mean dysmenorrhea VAS was 6.07 ± 2.10, and the mean number of visits to the dysmenorrhea program was 3.61 ± 1.47. There were no significant differences in the average number of visits between grades. Overall satisfaction was 4.06 ± 0.97, teacher satisfaction was 4.29 ± 1.10, and lecture satisfaction was 4.18 ± 0.95. Dysmenorrhea decreased but was not statistically significant.
Conclusions: Korean medicine is appropriate for the health promotion program. With cooperation and support from local schools, it will be very possible to carry out a successful business. It is also necessary to organize the program according to the viewpoint of youth and to interact with the students.
