Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of unmet medical need using data from the Korea Health Panel study from 2009 to 2013 (excluding 2010), and to analyze the trends of unmet medical need and related factors. The subjects of this study were 11,598 in 2009, 11,035 in 2011, 10,584 in 2012, 10,099 in 2013, and 7,144 people in panel data, and conducted frequency analysis, chi-square test and generalized estimating equation. As a result of the analysis by year, it was found that women, under middle school graduation, medical aid, the lowest household income and low subjective health status experienced more unmet medical need. As a result of analysis using generalized estimating equation, women, under 40 years of age, under elementary school graduation, lowest quartile household income, subjective health status of less than 20 points, and activity restrictions are more likely to experience unmet medical need. Based on these results, we intend to provide basic data for establishing policies on the use of medical services.

본 연구는 2009년부터 2013년까지(2010년 제외)의 한국 의료패널 자료를 활용하여 미충족 의료의 추세 및 현황을 알아보고, 미충족 의료와 관련된 요인을 분석하고자 하였다. 연구 대상자는 2009년 11,598명, 2011년 11,035명, 2012년 10,584명, 2013년 10,099명 그리고 7,144명의 패널 자료를 활용하여 빈도분석, 교차분석, 일반화 추정방정식 모형을 시행하였다. 연도별로 교차분석 결과, 여성, 중학교 졸업 이하의 학력, 의료보장 형태가 의료급여인 경우, 최저 분위의 가구소득, 주관적 건강상태 점수가 낮을 때 미충족 의료 경험률이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 일반화 추정방정식 모형을 통한 분석 결과, 여성, 40세 미만 연령대, 초등학교 졸업 이하, 최저 분위의 가구소득, 주관적 건강상태 20점 미만, 활동 제한이 있는 경우 미충족 의료를 경험할 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과를 바탕으로, 의료서비스 이용의 정책을 수립하는데 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.
