Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting quality of health care. Methods: The data were derived from the 2011-2013 Korea health panel survey (beta version 1.0). The data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 with descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2$-test, and multiple logistic regression analysis. In general characteristics, common factors influencing the quality of health care were age, marital status, education level, and subjective health status. In variables related to health care utilization, unmet healthcare needs, and limitation of dental care utilization were the significant factors affecting quality of health care. The results of this study show that various factors influence quality of health care. These findings can be used to develop strategies to improve health care.

본 연구는 한국보건사회연구원과 국민건강보험공단의 한국의료패널 2011~2013년 연간데이터(beta version 1.0)을 이용해 의료서비스 질 인식에 영향을 미치는 요인을 연도별로 분석하였다. 공통적으로 나타난 결과를 요약하면, 첫째, 의료서비스 질의 영향요인을 확인하기 위해 일반적 특성을 분석 결과는 연령 결혼상태, 교육수준, 주관적 건강상태가 통계적으로 유의한 예측인자로 나타났다. 둘째, 의료이용 관련 특성에 대한 분석 결과를 살펴보면, 미충족의료와 치과이용제한이 의료서비스 질 인식에 통계적으로 유의한 예측인자로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 향후 의료서비스의 질 향상을 위한 전략 수립에 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
