A Qualitative Study on Practitioners Participating in the COVID-19 Telemedicine Centre of Korean Medicine
Introduction
This qualitative study explored the integration of Korean medicine, particularly herbal medicine, in non-face-to-face care during the rapid increase in coronavirus disease 2019 patients in South Korea. This initiative was implemented voluntarily without governmental support.
Methods
We conducted in-depth interviews with twelve Korean medicine doctors from the Korean Medicine Telemedicine Centres in Daegu and Seoul, analysing the data using qualitative content analysis.
Results
The findings were categorised into four themes: (1) establishment of the Korean Medicine Telemedicine Centre amidst the conflict between Korean and Western medicine and a strong internal motivation; (2) patients as viewed by Korean medicine doctors and what patients want from Korean medicine treatment; (3) hope and the value of Korean medicine found again through new experience; (4) changes to be prepared for future Korean medicine to take a step forward.
Conclusions
This study highlights the potential of Korean medicine telemedicine as a viable healthcare model beyond the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, addressing both its opportunities and challenges in infectious disease management. To ensure its long-term integration, future efforts should focus on developing standardised treatment protocols, advancing telemedicine technologies, and fostering collaboration between Korean medicine and Western medicine within a more inclusive healthcare system.
