Patients with chronic 26 27 fatigue experienced physical and psychological symptoms that resulted in severe 28 29 30 difficulties associated with routine daily activities. The motivation for choosing TKM 31 32 practice was mainly dissatisfaction with conventional medicine and previous positive 33 34 experiences with TKM. After TKM treatments, patients found that TKM practitioners 35 http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 36 considered fatigue to be a treatable illness and patients felt comfortable with the 37 38 doctor-patient relationship in TKM practice. 39 40 41 Conclusion 42 43 Health care providers need to be concerned with the symptoms of chronic fatigue to a on October 2, 2021 by guest.

This study results suggest detailed insight into the patient's attitude to usage of TKM 19 20 21 treatment. Practitioners are able to use the findings for understanding behaviour of the patients with 22 23 chronic fatigue for seeking complementary and alternative treatments including TKM for health 24 25 promotion. 26 27 For our one-on-one, in-depth interview, we recruited interviewees through the referral from TKM 28 29 30 physicians and snowball sampling method which potentially affected the characteristics of the 31 32 interviewees who might be positively biased toward TKM treatments. 33 34 From this study, we found that chronic fatigue patients believed that their symptoms were related to 35 http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 36 normal aging and personal characteristics as well as physical illness. Dissatisfaction with conventional 37 38 medicinal treatment was the key motivation for choosing TKM clinics.

Various types of illnesses are associated with fatigue2, however, many 17 18 patients who complain of severe disability in daily life have fatigue symptoms that 19 20 3 21 cannot be explained by pathological causes . Chronic fatigue syndrome, a condition that 22 23 is defined by a period of more than six months of continuous fatigue without a specific 24 25 underlying disease, is prevalent among the general population in Korea: the prevalence 26 27 is estimated to be 0.6 to 2.0 %, which is quite similar to that found in Western societies 28 29 4 30 (0.5 to 2.5 %) . 31 32 33 34 Traditional Korean medicine (TKM) is a medical practice system included within the 35 http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 36 orthodox medicine category in Korea. TKM interventions consist of herbal medicine, 37 38 acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping therapies, similar to those of traditional Chinese 39 40 41 medicine; however, TKM has developed unique medical theories and practice 42 43 manoeuvres that have been influenced by medical practices in other East Asian on October 2, 2021 by guest.

However, the previous study 48 49 50 failed to give any clues as to the motivation for choosing TKM over conventional 51 52 medicine. 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 For peer review only - http://bmjopen.bmj.com/site/about/guidelines.xhtml BMJ Open Page 6 of 24 BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2014-006178 on 8 September 2015.

  • Sustainable Development and Intangible Cultural Heritage: a Youthful New Cohort in the Republic of Korea
    Sustainable development and intangible cultural heritage: a youthful new cohort in the Republic of Korea Capacity-Building Workshop on ICH Safeguarding Plan for Sustainable Development, Jeonju, July 1 to 5, 2019 Perhaps the next generation of ICH enthusiasts in the Republic of Korea, this group of primary schoolchildren looked around them wide-eyed at the exhibits in the Gijisi Juldarigi museum for the tugging ritual near Dangjin city. Our workshop participants visited this unique museum during the field visit day of the training workshop. Overview Like the hero in the classical novel, 'The Tale of Yu Chungyol', who must undergo a series of tribulations and tests before his meritorious deeds are recognised and rewarded, so it seems is also the fate of ICH when it comes to sustainable development. The great tales of Korea's Joseon dynasty era are set in sweeping landscapes and encompass the range of human frailties and foibles, and our efforts are set in no less extensive a landscape, nor are they less beset by questions and interpretations both difficult and promising. The two subjects - ICH and sustainable development - were brought together firmly when the operational directives of the Unesco 2003 ICH Convention were expanded with the addition of chapter six (adopted by the Convention's General Assembly at its sixth session during May-June 1 2016). In the little over three years since, there has in the field been scant activity to connect ICH with sustainable development - or to place ICH more firmly in the set of core materials that development must employ in order to qualify as being sustainable.
