Abstract
We examined the pattern of brand naming for dental clinics depending on various factors in 551 members of The Korean Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. The results follows: 1. Brand naming depending on the sex showed that the clinical subspeciality was 33.4% and the name of people or regional location was 31.7% in male members. In female members, the clinical subspeciality was 49% and a feeling of affinity was 29.9% (p<0.05). 2. Brand naming using the name of people and regional location in association with the year of graduation, the period before the 1960s was 66.7% the 1960s was 62.5% the 1970s was 68.8% and the 1980s was 46.5%. That is, these periods accounted for the most part. During the 1990s, however, brand naming based on the clinical subspeciality accounted for 52.2%. After the 2000s, it accounted for 59.8% (p<0.05). 3. In Seoul, Pusan and Kyounggi Province, brand naming based on the clinical speciality accounted for the most part. In other areas, the name of people and regional location, as well as a feeling of affinity, was the most prevalant (p<0.05). To summarize, there was a variability in the pattern of brand naming for dental clinics in association with the sex, schools and year of graduation and the regional location.
본 연구는 치과 등록상호명을 적절히 활용할 가능성이 있는 2009년 대한소아치과학회 회원 551명의 치과병의원명을 통해 그 유형과 특성을 알아보기 위해 진행되었으며, 연구 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 성별에 따른 치과 등록상호명을 보면 남자는 '전문과목' 33.4%, '인명/지명'유형 31.7%의 순으로 많았으며, 여자는 '전문과목'49%, '친근감'유형 29.9% 순으로 조사되었다(p<0.05). 2. '인명/지명'의 유형이 졸업년대를 기준으로 볼 때 1960년대 이전은 66.7%, 1960년대는 62.5%, 1970년대는 68.8%, 1980년대는 46.5%로 대부분을 차치하였으나, 1990년대는 '전문과목' 유형이 52.2%, 2000년 이후는 59.8%로 졸업년대에 따라 치과 등록상호명에 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 3. 서울과 부산 및 경기도는 '전문과목'유형의 등록상호명이 가장 많았고, 그 이외의 도시는 '친근감' 및 '인명/지명'의 유형이 가장 많았다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면, 2009년 현재 대한소아치과학회원의 치과 병의원 등록상호명은 성별, 졸업년도, 지역에 따라 차이를 보였다.
