다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The aim of the study was to investigate major satisfaction, career choices and career barriers in college students majoring in alternative medicine.
A total of 315 college students majoring in alternative medicine in 5 universities in K city and J province completed survey questionnaires. Survey tools consisted of a total of 17 questions including, general characteristics, reasons for choosing a major, major satisfaction, career choices and barriers and strategies to promote alternative medicine. Students were divided into two groups (first and second year students vs. third and fourth year students) and variables were compared between the groups using Chi-square test.
The highest proportions of students (38.4%) chose alternative medicine major because they were interested in the major. In addition, they chose the major because of other person's suggestions (21.9%), a promising job in the future (13.7%) and grades (10.8%). Students (59.0%) were satisfied in general with their majors. When major satisfaction levels were evaluated using a Likert-type 5-point scale in 5 subcategories, average satisfaction scores for each category were as follow: general satisfaction 3.73; curriculum 3.69; relationship 3.59; recognition 3.40; career search 3.00. There were no significant differences in reasons for choosing the major and major satisfaction levels between 1st and 2nd year students and 3rd and 4th year students.
Regarding careers after graduation, the highest proportions of 1st and 2nd year students answered that they haven't decided yet (33.7%). In addition, they wanted to get a job in hospitals (24.6%) and have more education (21.9%). The highest proportions of 3rd and 4th year students wanted to get a job (31.3%) and 27.3% of them wanted to have more education. The most important criteria for choosing a career was a career aptitude (38.7%) followed by professionalism, vision, pay, and social status in both groups.
Regarding career barriers, the highest proportions of 1st and 2nd year students (31.6%) answered the lack of social recognition about alternative medicine while the highest proportions of 3rd and 4th year students (55.5%) answered the lack of national certifications (P<0.001). To promote alternative medicine, the majority of respondents agreed on need for government support and government certified license for alternative medicine.
In conclusion, students majoring in alternative medicine chose their major because of their interest and aptitude. In general, they were satisfied with their majors. They wanted to get a job at a hospital and have more education. The most important criteria for choosing a career in the future was a career aptitude. They thought that the lack of social recognition and national certification would be career barriers and the government should license alternative medicine practitioners in the future.
