Abstract

Objective: Many factors are considered when a patient chooses the type of dental institution they wish to receive treatment from. Numerous studies have been conducted regarding this issue. However, more research is needed in analyzing the patient's psychological aspects when he/she decides to choose the dental institution they wish to receive treatment from. Methods: A locus of control test was utilized to analyze the psychological aspects in orthodontic patients of a university dental hospital and a private dental clinic. The locus of control test is known to be useful in predicting a human being's behavior. Both intrinsic and extrinsic locus of control tests were carried out in 934 orthodontic patients attending Seoul National University Dental Hospital and 1466 orthodontic patients from a private dental clinic. Results: The orthodontic patients at the university dental hospital showed a stronger extrinsic locus of control compared with those from the private dental clinic. Conclusion: The orthodontic patients at the university dental hospital value the doctor as the authority figure and the treatment quality more than those at the private dental clinic.

환자가 의료기관을 선택할 때 작용하는 요인은 매우 다양하며 이에 대한 많은 연구들이 있었으나 대부분 외부적인 요인에 대한 연구가 많았고 의료기관 선택 시 환자의 정신-심리학적인 면에 대한 정보 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 비교적 선택진료(elective treatment)의 측면이 많은 교정치료를 받기 위해 치과의원과 대학치과병원에 내원한 환자들이 의료기관을 선택하는 여러 요인들 중 정신-심리학적 요인을 알아보기 위해 인간의 행동을 예측하는데 유용하다고 알려진 통제소재(Locus of control)검사를 이용하였다. 교정치료를 목적으로 서울대학교 치과병원에 내원한 환자 934명 및 치과의원에 내원한 환자 1466명을 대상으로 내외통제소재검사를 시행한 결과 대학치과병원 교정환자들이 치과의원 교정환자에 비하여 외적통제 경향이 높았으며 이러한 결과에 비추어 대학치과병원 교정환자들이 치과의원 교정환자들에 비해 의료진의 권위에 의존하는 정신-심리학적 경향이 존재하는 것으로 나타났다.
