Abstract

This article examined the condition of medical service utilization and the usage degree for the disabled in Korea, and analyzed factors affecting medical service utilization. This paper offers data for improving the health of disabled Korea residents and for enhancing medical service utilization. We analyzed data for disabled residents aged 19 from the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Results found significant effects depending on gender, age, average monthly income, types of disorders, disability rating, and status of smoking. Concerning gender, men had a higher probability of lacking medical treatment compared with women, had increased probability of having a disability, and smokers had a higher probability of lacking treatment compared with nonsmokers. Therefore, for resolving medically untreated disabled Korean residents, government needs to improve the policy system and to managethe inequality of handicapped welfare work.

본 연구는 우리나라 장애인을 대상으로 장애인의 전반적인 의료이용에 대한 현황 및 수준을 파악하고 장애인의 의료이용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하여 장애인의 건강증진과 의료서비스 이용 활성화를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 제6차 국민건강영양조사 대상자 중 만 19세 이상의 장애인을 분석한 결과, 성별, 연령, 월평균가구소득, 장애유형, 장애등급, 흡연 등에서 의료이용에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 성별에서는 남성보다는 여성이, 연령은 낮을수록, 가구소득이 낮을수록 의료 미치료 확률이 높았다. 장애유형에서는 정신적 장애인이 의료 미치료 확률이 높은 것을 확인하였고, 장애등급이 높을수록, 흡연자일수록 의료 미치료 확률이 높은 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 우리나라 장애인의 의료 미치료 해소를 위하여 장애 의료와 관련한 정책적 제도의 개선과 장애인 복지사업에 대한 불평등 해소 방안의 지속적인 관리가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 또한, 장애인의 구강 건강 수준을 높일 수 있도록 의료이용의 행태에 대한 지속적이고 정기적인 사회 보험제도의 개선 필요성이 있음을 시사한 것으로 평가 할 수 있다.
