Eighty-seven male patients with sexual dysfunction were involved in this study. Among them, 43 outpatients were selected from traditional medicine clinics, on the other hand, 44 outpatients were selected from urology clinic to be interviewed. The major findings are: 1.For predisposing factors: The attitude toward selection of traditional medicine was more prominent in patients in young age who also incline to get higher score in subscale of personal impression about traditional medicine. In contrast, older patients with negative impression about traditional medicine were inclined look for treatment from western urology clinic. 2.For enabling factors: The larger the age gap between patients and their spouses, the higher possible they intend to seeking treatment form western urology clinic. 3.For need factors: Perceived health in patients affects the tendency toward the selection of medical care in patients of sexual dysfunction. The less health-related problems they had in physical condition, the higher possibility the patients intend to seeking treatment from western urology clinic. However, this relationship is insignificant when age variable is controlled, which implied the relationship between perceived health and selection of medical care was influenced by age. 4.The relationships among predisposing, enabling and need factors: Age and the Supportive Attitude in spouse have significant influence on patients’ perceived health. 5.Significant relationships were found existed among predisposing, enabling factors and selection pattern of medical care. However, when predisposing and enabling these two factors were controlled, correlation between need factor and selection pattern of medical care disappeared. |
