Background : Oriental medical clinic in the Korean military began 20 years ago. However, it still has basic treatment system only. Joint treatment with western medicine remains within the extension of a physical therapy. Furthermore, there are very few studies on oriental medical clinic in the military. This study purposed to survey the patient’s features, satisfaction and desire on oriental medical clinic and joint treatment.
Method : The data were collected from 100 patients of 4 oriental medical clinics through self-developed structured questionnaire from September to November in 2010. The collected data were analyzed by SPSSWIN(ver. 12)
Result : (1). The patient’s disease pattern(syptom, diagnosis) was most of the musculo-skeletal system disorder(81%). Furthermore the patient’s percentage of chronic disease was higher than that of acute disease. (2). The patient’s satisfaction on the oriental medical clinic was high quaility(93%) and 46% of the respondents were cured with cooperative treatment. 82.6% of the patients treated by cooperative treatment were satisfied with joint treatments.
(3). The patient’s desire for new oriental medical treatment were the Sasang constitutional diagnosis(34.96%), Chuna manual medicine(23.77%), herb medicine(23. 0.7), and herb-acupuncture treatment(18.18%). Additionally 85% of the respondents showed a positive response about introduction of a herb medical system in the military.
Conclusion : These results imply that oriental medical clinic in the military should consider supplement of additional treatment for chronic musculo-skeletal disease. And nearly half of the oriental medical clinic’s patient take a cooperative treatment with western medicine. The understanding and trust between western medicine and oriental medicine need to be an efficient cooperative treatment. More conferences and thesis on a cooperative treatment should be considered. Though military patients wanted to take various oriental medical treatments, they took only a basic treatment. Oriental military doctors have to make an effort to compensate facilities and surroundings that they can conduct their special treatment skill. As a result of efforts, quality of oriental treatment should be developed.
