초록

In spite of recent remarkable recent development in both western and oriental medical sciences, there is still only a shallow understanding of individual differences for various prognoses of incurable diseases and immunopathy diseases. Nevertheless, the care, cure and prevention methods of Sasang Constitutional Medicine are broadly used as an effective treatment of incurable diseases like immunopathy diseases and stress-related diseases and diseases due to aging. In this sense, the establishment of classification norms is urgent and essential for the worldwide application of Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM).
This study began with the confirmation process of whether Sasang Constitutional types exist in Americans. To accomodate for cultural differences, the distinguishing tool was readjusted so that Sasang Constitutional Types in Americans could be determined. Hence, the selected tool is the new QSCCII+, which is a newly revised English version of the QSCCII. QSCCII was made and standardized by Dept. of SCM in Kyung Hee Medical Center and Dr. Kim7). The evaluation methods of the old version were improved in the new QSCCII+ through necessary statistical manipulation. The original QSCCII was officially authorized by the Korean Society of Sasang Constitutional Medicine as the only computerized version of Sasang diagnostics. This study is the first attempt to design a new diagnostic tool for the classification of Sasang Constitutional types in North Americans with the revision of QSCCII. The subjects of this study were selected from the cooperative people among the students and staffs of the University of Bridgeport and the patients who visited the Clinic in the Health Science Center. This study takes for about 1 year from 1998. 8 to 1999. 8 The conclusions of the study can be summarized as follows: 1. Sasang constitutional types also exist in Americans. It can also naturally be inferred that Sasang Constitutional types exist in all human beings, for there are many different human races in America.
2. There are more So-Yang In's than any other types in American white people. This result confirms the hypothesis that there also exist Sasang Constitutional types in westerners.
3. The result of repetitive tests suggests that the new QSCCII+ is an effective diagnostic tool for westerners when we consider the constant diagnostic results of the QSCCII+.
4. Sasang Constitutional types exit in the sample group regardless of racial difference.
5. The question items that were not often checked by Americans need to be modified into more understandable expressions.
6. The standardization of diagnosis for Americans should be established by use of the QSCCII+ 7. It can be guessed that there are many Tae-yang In's among the 71 persons who could not be clearly classified by the QSCCII+. Due to the scarcity of Tae-yang-In in general, it is important to improve upon the discernability of the QSCC II+.
8. The results of the Sasang Constitutional distribution in North Americans are as follows: The percentage of So-yang In distribution in the sample group is 36.25%(87persons), that of Tae-eum In is 13.75%(33persons), and that of So-eum In is 20.41%(49persons).


東 · 西洋醫學이 여러 方面으로 눈부시게 發展해 왔음에도 不拘하고 同一疾病에 대한 藥 效果의 個人別 差異나 疾病에 대한 個人別 感受性의 差異에 따른 여러 가지 免疫關係 疾患의 多樣性이나 難治病의 多樣한 豫後 等의 理由를 正確히 理解하지 못하고 따라서 適切한 對處를 하지 못하고 있는 것이 現實이다. 그런데 四象醫學의 네 體質에 따른 疾病 管理, 治療 및 豫防法은 現代의 難治病이라고 할 수 있는 成人病, 免疫係 疾患, 스트레스性 疾患의 管理에 效果的으로 適用할 수 있으므로 現在 韓方臨床醫學에서 많이 應用되고 있다.
이러한 四象醫學을 世界에 폭넓게 적용하기 위해서는 國際的으로 應用할 수 있는 體質診斷의 基準이 마련되어야 한다. 于先 本 硏究는 外國人에게도 果然 體質이 存在할까 하는 疑問点을 解決하기 爲하여 美國人을 對象으로 體質 分類를 시도하여 體質 存在 與否를 確認하는 作業부터 始作하였다. 또 體質이 存在한다면 體質 診斷 道具로는 어떤 것이 좋을까를 알아보기 爲한 硏究를 竝行하였다. 選擇된 體質 診斷 道具로는 慶熙大學校 四象醫學 敎室에서 開發되어 學會에서 公認後 臨床에서 널리 使用되는 體質 診斷 道具인 QSCCII를 바탕으로 이를 英文으로 飜譯하고 採點 方法을 補完하여 새롭게 製作된 new QSCCII + 使用하였다.
本 硏究는 國內에서 標準化되어 使用하고 있는 體質診斷診斷道具인 QSCCII를 보완하여 美國에서 應用할 수 있는 새로운 診斷 道具를 마련하고자 처음으로 試圖된 硏究이다.
調査 對象은 University of Bridgeport. Connecticut. U.S.A의 學生, 敎職員그리고 Health Science Center의 Clinic을 訪問한 사람中 本 調査에 協力한 사람이 主로 그 對象이 되었으며 其他 周邊의 現地人들이 對象이 되었다. 年 調査對象人員 344名이었고 全體 調査 對象에서 再檢査를 할 수 있었던 人員은 240名이었다. 硏究期間은 1998年 9月부터 1999年 8月까지 約 1年 餘에 걸쳐 實施되었다.
이러한 硏究結果를 考察해 볼 때 아래와 같은 結論을 얻었다.
1. 美國 사람에게도 四象體質은 存在한다. 推論컨데 美國에는 多樣한 人種이 섞여 살고 있으므로 外國人 모두에게 亦是 體質이 存在한다고 볼 수 있다.
2. 美國人에게 特히 白人에게선 少陽人으로 診斷되는 傾向이 높았다. 이 結果는 美國사람에게도 四象體質은 存在한다는 假說과 多少 附合된다 思料된다.
3. 檢査再檢査를 통하여 分析된 結果를 볼 때 그 結果가 一貫되게 나오는 것으로 보아 new QSCCII +가 外國人의 體質을 診斷할 때 一貫된 結果를 얻을 수 있는 診斷方法일 可能性을 示唆한다.
4. 標準 集團의 體質 分類에서는 人種에 關係없이 體質이 存在하고 있었다.
5. 反應 頻度가 낮은 問項은 美國人을 爲한 標準化 硏究를 할 때 美國人에게 理解가 될 수 있는 또다른 表現으로 바꾸어 適用해 볼 必要가 있을 것으로 推定된다.
6. 美國人의 體質을 正確하게 하기 爲해서는 標準化 作業을 함으로써 QSCCII라는 診斷道具를 利用하여 測定 診斷 데이터를 評價할 수 있는 診斷 基準이 만들어져야 한다.
7. 體質이 不透明하다고 나온 71名 中에는 潛在的 太陽人體質이 包含되어 있을 것으로 推程되나 太陽人의 稀少性에서 起因하는 new QSCCII+의 辨別力低下에 대한 解決方案에 對한 硏究가 追後에 進行되어야 할 것으로 思料된다.
8. 硏究結果 北美地域의 體質分布는 다음과 같다. 年人員을 對象으로한 分布에서는 少陽人 36.25 %(87명), 太陰人 13.75 %(33名), 少陰人 20.41%(49 名), 分類가 안되거나 太陽人인 境遇가 29.58%(71 名)이었다.
