Abstract

This study aims to identify factors to affect regular utilization status of medical care in cardio-cerebrovascular patients. The research selected 770 cardio-cerebrovascular patients among surveyees from the Korea Health Panel 2010. We analyzed states of medical care utilization using descriptive statistics. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the main factors associated with regular utilization status of medical care in cardio-cerebrovascular patients. In result, the significant factors associated with regular utilization status of medical care in cardio-cerebrovascular patients were age, education level, household income level. CCI, presence or absence of high risk drinking, and presence or absence of obesity. There's a high probability that patients aged between 60 and 69, equal to and higher than those of high school graduate in education level, upper middle class in household income, the higher CCI, absence of high risk drinking, presence of obesity utilize medical care services more regularly. Therefore, it is necessary to develop effective program and individualized approach for patients using lesser periodical medical care and patients with high risk drinking problem. In the future, these findings can be used an important data for healthcare policy and assessment.

본 연구는 심뇌혈관 환자의 정기적 의료이용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 살펴보는 데 목적이 있다. 2010년 한국의료패널조사 자료를 이용하였으며, 설문에 응답한 응답자 중 심뇌혈관질환자 770명을 대상자로 하였다. 분석대상자의 의료이용 현황을 파악하기 위하여 기술통계를 실시하였으며, 심뇌혈관 환자의 정기적 의료이용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위하여 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 심뇌혈관 환자의 정기적 의료이용에 영향을 미치는 요인은 연령, 교육수준, 가구소득수준, 동반상병지수(CCI), 고위험음주 유무, 비만 유무로 나타났다. 연령별로는 60-69세, 교육수준별로는 고등학교 이상, 가구소득수준별로는 중위수 이상, 동반상병지수(CCI)가 높을수록, 고위험 음주 무, 비만인 환자가 정기적으로 의료를 이용할 확률이 높게 나타났다. 이는 정기적 의료이용이 낮은 중위수 미만 환자와 고위험 음주 유인 환자 등 문제의 원인과 대상에 맞는 구체적인 관리방안을 모색하는 노력이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 이러한 결과들은 향후 보건의료정책 수립에 기초 자료로 의미 있게 활용되어질 수 있으리라 여겨진다.
