Studenci medycyny wobec alternatywnych sposobów leczenia
Streszczenie
Academic medicine and unconventional methods of medical treatment
are the two worlds representing two kinds of distinet symbolic
universes. This paper presents the results of seventeen "open" interviews,
the informants being the last year medical students. The
research aimed at grasping the picture of unconventional techniques
of medical treatment functioning in consciousness of a prospective
doctor, as well as describing cognitive schemes and various attitudes
towards the alternative universe. Sparse data does not give us
sufficient grounds to draw general conclusions it allows, however,
to formulate some interesting hypotheses on relations between types
of cognitive schemes and types of attitudes, and also relations between
the "strength" of confidence in the developments of the academic
medicine and positive or negative response of informants towards
techniques of the alternative medicine.
