The relationship of non-specialist and specialist community to allternative methods in healthcare
VILDOVÁ, Pavla
Health care and finding healthy lifestyle belongs continuously among present day interests. Increasingly, people are interested in complementary medicine and additional curative methods. Such a raised concern in these methods brings along a need of more information about therapies alone and ways in which they can or cannot be used. Complementary medicine is often called as additional, unorthodox, natural, unconventional, non-western, unscientific or unverified, sometimes gestalt or medicine of mind and body. The theoretical part of the work describes what is the complementary medicine and its status within the Czech Republic. One chapter is focused on complementary methods and attendance. We aimed at the relation to complementary medicine from the non-specialist and specialist point of view. The remaining chapters address to the single complementary methods. The objective was to find out relations of non-specialists and specialists to the complementary methods of health care and their awareness and to their informedness. The research should confirm or destroy hypothesis if awareness influences relations to complementary methods and should state differences in complementary health care methods from non-specialist and specialist point of view. To get data we used quantitative research based on questionnaires method. The questionnaires were passed to non-specialists and specialists as the research set. The research was carried out in South Bohemia on random sample. A condition for non-specialists was minimum age of 18 years. A condition for specialists was their official position in health service. The conclusion showed non-specialists and specialists are well informed about complementary methods and that the use of complementary methods is not dependent on the informedness. The relation to complementary methods is more influenced by personality the person in question and its opinion than education. Interestingly we found out the non-specialists make use most of physiotherapy and massages in the framework of complementary methods. However, specialists rank massages on the first position narrowly followed by homeopathy. Satisfactorily we found out difficulties caused by using complementary methods occurred only with minimum informants. It was clearly to be seen that in case of any health difficulties both non-specialists and specialists are likely to use some of the complementary methods. To our surprise the number of informants choosing complementary medicine was affected by an increased concern in their health. The conclusions interestingly showed the specialists would appreciate complementary method education as a facultative subject in the framework of their studies. The whole work may be beneficial to everybody longing for data about complementary medicine generally or about single complementary methods. I am persuaded that many complementary methods are effective and may help many people if they are trusted. To provide complementary medicine effectively it is necessary the healer has a good overview about anatomy and human body physiology, necessary education, determination and talent.
