Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : We aimed to investigate the experience of Korean medicine use among elementary school students and their
perception of Korean medicine and to determine whether the school doctor program improved the perception of
Korean medicine.
Methods : This study was conducted as part of a school doctoral program in Korean medicine. A Korean medicine doctor
was dispatched to the school to conduct a program that included career education in Korean medicine. Self-report
surveys were conducted before and after the program. The pre-program questionnaire assessed the experience of
using Korean medicine and the perception of Korean Medicine, whereas the post-program questionnaire measured
the perception of Korean medicine and satisfaction with the program.
Results : A total of 82 students from an elementary school participated in this survey. Among them, 32 sudents (41.0%)
reported having used Korean medicine in their lifetime, and 8 (10.4%) had used Korean medicine in the last three
months. There was no statistically significant association between the experience of using Korean medicine and
perception of Korean Medicine. However, perceptions significantly improved after the school doctorate program, and
students who were more satisfied with the program evaluated Korean Medicine more positively
