Objectives : The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of patients with facial palsy symptoms treated with Korean medicine treatment(KMT) after western treatment.
Methods : We conducted an individual in-depth interview with 10 participants who had experience in both western and KMT for facial palsy symptoms. This qualitative study adopted the grounded theory of Strauss and Corbin, and collected data was analyzed by using coding(open-axial-selective) that was performed to create paradigm model, which can explain this study's main theme.
Results : The central phenomenon of this study was 'choosing Korean medicine treatment after western treatment preceded', and the core category was derived as 'selecting process of KMT after western medical treatment and improvement plan of Korean medicine treatment'.
Conclusions : For patients with facial palsy, KMT was perceived as an essential treatment rather than an alternative, and recognized as the main treatment. Patients didn't settle for western treatment which was in progress, actively selected KMT and suggested the specific plan for improvement of KMT. Through this, we should be considered the direction of the KMT for facial palsy symptom which is the common disease of KMT.
