초록
연구배경: 우리나라에서 대체-보완의료가 기관지천식의 환자에서 광범위하게 사용되어지리라고 추측되고 있다. 그러나 우리나라 성인천식환자에서의 대체-보완의료의 실태는 아직 보고된 바가 없다. 이 연구는 우리나라의 성인천식환자에 있어서 대체-보완의료의 사용실태와 경향을 알아보고자 시행하였다.방 법: 2000년 1월부터 2003년 12월까지 경희대병원에 1회 이상 입원한 병력이 있는 천식 환자를 대상으로 하였으며 설문조사 연구에 동의하는 환자 100명에게 직접면담 하거나 전화를 통해 설문조사를 시행했다. 환자들의 병력은 병록지를 참고로 조사하였다.결 과: 조사환자 100명 중 53명이 대체-보완 의료를 경험하였다. 환자가 치료받은 병원 수가 많을수록 대체-보완의료를 경험한 횟수가 많았으며, 연령 별로는 50대가 가장 많이 대체-보완의료를 경험하였다. 흔히 사용한 대체-보완의료의 종류는 음식 및 건강식품이 35명으로 가장 많았다. 그 다음으로 약초가 28명, 침 요법이 9명, 쑥뜸요법이 6명, 그리고 호흡운동이 1명이었다.

Abstract
Background: There has no known epidemiologic survey on the frequency of complementary-alternative medicine (CAM) use in the treatment of adult asthma in Korea. This study examined the current use of CAM by asthma patients in Korea. Methods: One hundred adults with asthma, who had been admitted to Kyunghee university hospital between January 2000 and December 2003, were enrolled in this survey. They received a structured questionnaire interview and a clinical assessment of prevalence and pattern of CAM use. Results: 53% patients had an experience of at least one type of CAM during their asthma management. Users of CAM had more hospital visits than those who had never used CAM(1.46±0.68 vs. 2.11±1.20, p=0.001). Those in their 50th decades had more experience of CAM (80%) than the other age groups. The methods of CAM used by our patients are as follows: Diet/nutritional therapy in 35 patients(69%), herbal therapy in 28 patients(53%), acupuncture in 9 patients(17%), moxa treatment in 6 patients(11%), breathing exercises in 1 patient(2%). Conclusions: More than 50% of patients with bronchial asthma have used CAM. A more detailed and large scaled study will be needed to define the actual status of the use of CAM in the treatment for asthma. Inaddition, further research on the scientific validation of the clinical efficacy of CAM in asthma management should be followed. (Tuberc Respir Dis 2006; 61: 339-346)
