Abstract

This study investigated the differences in how medical institutions are chosen according to the motivation of medical service utilization(minor disease, major disease, chronic disease management, cosmetic). Importance order of selection for the minor disease were medical skill, kindness, rapidness, proximity, importance order of selection for major disease and cosmetic were medical skill, facilities, reputation, medical fee, importance order of selection for chronic disease management were medical skill, facilities, kindness, medical fee. From this medical study skill was a more important factor in medical institutions irrespective of motivation, subjects with the major disease tend to consider the selection of the medical institutions more important, except proximity. Medical users select medical institutions according to the motivation of visiting, and there were differences in same motivation according to socioeconomic status and information searching behavior.

본 연구는 의료이용 동기(경증, 중증, 만성질환관리, 미용)에 따른 의료기관 선택기준의 차이를 알아보기 위해 시행되었다. 의료이용 동기에 따른 병원선택요인의 중요도는 감기와 같은 경증질환의 경우 진료능력, 친절, 신속, 접근성 순이었으며 암과 같은 중증질환의 경우와 미용의 경우는 진료능력, 시설, 평판, 진료비 순이었고 합병증 없는 고혈압관리와 같은 만성질환 관리의 경우는 진료능력, 시설, 친절, 진료비 순이었다. 의료이용 동기와 관계없이 진료능력은 의료기관 선택에 가장 중요한 요인이었으며 중증질환의 경우 접근성을 제외한 모든 요인에 대한 중요도가 높았다. 결론적으로 의료이용자들은 의료이용 동기, 질병의 심각성과 위급성 등을 복합적으로 고려하여 의료기관을 선택하며 같은 경우라도 인구학적 특성 및 정보탐색행태에 따라서 달라진다는 점을 알 수 있었다. 이에 의료기관의 경쟁우의를 확보하기 위해 수동적인 태도, 타 의료기관의 무조건적인 모방이 아니라 의료기관 선택요인에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 타 의료기관과 차별화하는 전략을 세워야 할 것이다.
