| Research Abstract |
We compared the attitudes of medical doctors and citizens to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) between 1999 and 2005.
1)Doctor's attitude : The questionnaire was performed for 630 doctors belonging to the Kyoto Medical Association, and replies were received from 405 doctors (response rate ; 64.2%). The following results were obtained;
1 The doctors familiar with the term "CAM" significantly increased from 45% in 1999 to 82% in 2005.
2 The doctors practicing Kampo increased from 70% in 1999 to 82% in 2005.
3 Acupuncture and moxibustion were practiced only by few doctors at the same rate of 1999 as 2005.
4 The other CAM therapies were also practiced only by few doctors at the similar rate of 1999 to 2000.
5 No changes in the beliefs of doctors in the effectiveness of CAM were found.
2)Kyoto citizens' attitudes : The questionnaire was performed for 434 Kyoto citizens, and the following results were obtained;
1 The rate of practicing acupuncture, moxibustion, acupressure, and massage were lower in 2005 than that in 1999.
2 The more citizens took dietary supplements in 2005 than 1999.
3 No changes in practicing Kampo, chiropractics, spa therapy, hypnosis, thalassotherapy, quigong and yoga were found.
4 The changes in the aim to practice CAM therapies were found, namely in Kampo, massage and chiropractic, the therapeutic aim decreased, but the aim for health promotion increased.
5 The QOL of CAM users was lower than non-CAM users.
