남녀 고등학교 학생들의 한방의학의 지식, 태도 및 이용에 관한 조사연구

Abstract

[한글]

긴 동양문화의 역사적인 배경속에서 한방의학은 대중과 더불어 육성되어 왔고 (노, 1961), 우리나라에 도입된 후 그 필요도와 더불어 점차 체계화되어가고 있으며 서양의학과도 더욱 많은 분야에서 유기적인 연결을 시도하고 있다.

이와 같은 한의학의 과학화 내지는 현대화는 대중에서 새로운 한의학에 대한 관심 (김, 1945)을 불어 일으키는 것으로 생각되어 최근의 한의학에 대한 관심을 추정하기 위하여 이에 대한 지식, 태도 및 이용에 관하여 조사하기에 이르렀다.

조사대상은 서울시내 및 지방의 남녀고등학교 3학년 학생들을 대상으로 하여 그 가운데 각각 10학급을 확률추출하여 1979년 3월 6일부터 3월 15일에 설문조사하였다.

조사결과에 있어서 한방의학은 보약을 포함하여 한약을 짓는 것이라고 대답한 학생이 51.6%로 가장 높은 비율을 나타내었고 동양의 의술이라고 대답한 학생이 42.0%였다. 90% 이상이 한방의학이 필요하다고 했고 매우 필요하다가 27.3%나 되었다.

한방은 현상유지한다가 40.6%로 가장 많고 이어서 38.7%는 보건 의료분야에서 크게 공헌한다고 말했다.

한약의 효과는 보약의 경우 64.2%, 기타의 경우 4.9%가 효과가 있다고 대답했으며, 질병진단에서는 한의사(6.7%) 보다 양의사 (52.1%)를 더 믿는 것으로 나타났다.

한방의학에 대한 흥미에 있어서 좋다가 41.4%, 나쁘다가 0.9%로 나타났고, 앞으로의 치료를 받을 때는 한의원이 6.4%, 병원을 원하는 학생이 85.5%였다. 침을 맞는 학생은 59.7%, 뜸을 뜬학생이 9.2%로 나타났다.
