Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the effectiveness and satisfaction of traditional Korean medicine (TKM) for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) after gynecological surgery.
Methods: The study is conducted by analyzing the medical records of hospitalized patients in a Korean medicine hospital. Sixty-five patients who received TKM for ERAS after gynecological surgery from May 2020 to July 2021 were included. We performed statistical analysis by using SPSS ver. 25.0. To verify the effect of TKM for ERAS, we analyzed improvement of symptoms. Also, we analyzed survey of patients' satisfaction to verify the satisfaction of TKM for ERAS.
Results: Among the symptoms of pain, there was a statistically significant decrease in all types of pain on the questionnaire. Other systemic symptoms showed statistically significant improvement in all symptoms on the questionnaire. The satisfaction level questionnaires for TKM for ERAS showed a mean value of 4.37±0.63 out of 5-point scale. Especially, herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion showed high satisfaction without dissatisfaction.
Conclusions: The result has shown that TKM for ERAS after gynecological surgery is effective and the satisfaction of the patients is high. Further study on TKM for ERAS for quality of life assessment is needed.
