不同人口学特征的针灸科门诊患者对针刺刺激接受程度差异的比较研究

目的探讨不同人口学特征的针灸科门诊患者对针刺刺激接受程度之间的差异。方法采取整群抽样的方式选取1000例患者,通过自行设计的问卷,对患者的人口学资料及其针刺接受程度进行调查分析。结果不同性别、年龄及职业的患者对针刺刺激接受程度存在统计学差异(P0.01),中老年男性及已产女性和偏体力劳动者完全能够接受针刺刺激的比例较大。结论不同人口学资料特征的患者对针刺刺激接受程度不同,建议临床工作时,应根据患者的个体特征施治,以减轻患者针刺时的不适感,提高针灸临床认同度。

Comparative Study of Acupuncture Stimulation Intensities Accepted by Acupuncture Clinic Patients with Different Demographic Characteristics

Objective To explore the difference in accepted acupuncture stimulation intensity among acupuncture clinic patients with different demographic characteristics. Method One thousand patients were enrolled by cluster sampling. Demographic data and accepted acupuncture stimulation intensities were examined using a self-devised questionnaire in the patients. Result There was a statistically significant difference in accepted acupuncture stimulation intensity among the patient of different sexes, ages and occupations （P〈 0.01）. Middle-aged and old adult and parous female physical-inclined workers constituted a large proportion of the patients who accepted acupuncture stimulation completely. Conclusion Patients with different demographic characteristics vary in accepting acupuncture stimulation intensity. It is suggested that clinical treatment should be administered according to the patient＇s individual characteristics to reduce the patient＇s discomfort during acupuncture and improve acceptability of clinical acupuncture.
