Abstract:
Objective To understand the correlation of constitutional type of Traditional Chinese Medicine between undergraduate nursing students and their agnate grandparents, so as to provide references for disease prevention and health guidance. Methods A total 800 undergraduate nursing students and their agnate grandparents were investigated with constitution in Chinese medicine questionnaire ( CCMQ ) designed by professor Wang Qi. Results A total of 784 questionnaires were collected. There were 569 effective questionnaires for nursing students which indicated that their agnate grandparents were living. There were 296 questionnaires for grandfather and 353 questionnaires for grandmother. Among the population, there were 389 persons ( 31. 94%) belong to Gentleness constitution, 769 persons ( 63. 14%) belong to lopsided constitutions. The most common constitutions types were gentleness type, Yang-deficiency type, Qi-deficiency type in nursing students (44. 46%) and their grandmothers (26. 62%). Nevertheless, the first three types of constitutions were Yang-deficiency type, Qi-deficiency type, Gentleness type in grandfather. Correlation analysis of constitutional type between nursing students and their grandparents indicated that there was no correlation in Gentleness constitution (r= -0. 09,0. 09;P>0. 05), but there were correlations in other constitutional types between nursing students and their grandparents (r=0. 20 0. 43;P<0. 01). Conclusions The correlation is not significant in constitutional type of traditional Chinese medicine between nursing students and their agnate grandparents, but it still has a certain directive significance for disease prevention and control in some family.
