The conclusion made from the study conducted on parents of elementary school students located in the eastern region of Gyeongsangbuk-do are as follows. First, 78.0% of the respondents had experience using alternative therapy to improve atopic dermatitis as a result of analyzing the usage of alternative therapies. The relatively less the atopic child's age is, the less the duration of atopic skin ailment is, if you have atopic ailmnet on your legs or neck, if skin ailment, depending on the severity of the symptoms, is light (20%) or average (40%), the relatively more experience one had with using alternative therapy. Second, when analyzing the types of alternative therapies used by 156 people who have experience using alternative therapy to improve atopic skin, the results showed that 73.7% have used ‘Hot springs bathing therapy’. They responded that the therapeutic effects are good, that they were satisfied with using the therapy, and that it was the best therapy for obtaining ‘mental stability’. Most people used alternative therapies for ‘less than 5 years’, and 39.7% used them because of side effects from hospital treatment. In addition, 46.2% answered positively when asked if they experienced side effects from alternative therapy, so the frequency rate was high. Observing the above results, the majority of parents in the eastern region of Gyeongsangbuk-do had experience with alternative therapies in order to improve atopic dermatitis, and the ratio of side effects also turned out to be high, compared to high therapeutic effects and satisfaction. We look forward to continuous development and research of programs that specifically utilizes alternative methods as one of the many methods used in skin care service while reducing side effects.
