Abstract

This exploratory study, related to the introduction of Western-style family doctors, was conducted based on a comparative survey of medical care satisfaction in foreign residents of the U.S. and Canada based on a consumer-centered perspective. As a result of statistical analysis based on 493 collections of empirical data from 2016 to 2018, the main conclusions of this study are as follows. First, there was no evidence that satisfaction with US and Canadian family doctors was higher than the satisfaction with Korean primary care physicians. Second, satisfaction with Korean primary care physicians was high with regard to treatment, promptness, etc., and there was no evidence that foreign family doctor systems were better in terms of sufficient counseling and explanation. Third, overseas Koreans in the United States showed less satisfaction with their family doctors than Koreans in Canada. Fourth, overseas Koreans preferred to visit a hospital directly, without a referral from the family doctor. In conclusion, there is insufficient evidence showing that satisfaction with family doctors in the U.S. and Canada is higher than satisfaction with primary care doctors in Korea. Therefore, a more in-depth, additional analysis on the Western-style family doctor is needed before introducing such a system in Korea.

본 연구에서는 소비자 중심 의료 관점에 기초해 미국·캐나다 재외국민들을 대상으로 진행된 의료 만족도 비교 조사를 바탕으로 가정의 도입과 관련된 탐색적 연구를 수행하였다. '16년 -'18년 사이에 설문조사지 배포 및 회수 방식으로 수집된 493개의 실증자료에 기초한 통계적 분석 결과 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 미국·캐나다 가정의에 대한 만족도가 한국의 1차 의료 의사에 비해 높다는 증거를 발견할 수 없었다. 둘째, 치료기술 및 수준, 진료예약 신속성 등에서 한국 1 차 의료 의사 만족도가 높았으며 가정의 제도에 비해 약점으로 언급되는 충분한 상담 및 설명 측면에서도 가정의 제도가 더 우수하다는 증거를 발견할 수 없었다. 셋째, 미국 재외국민은 캐나다 재외국민에 비해 가정의 제도에 대한 만족도가 더 낮게 나타났다. 넷째, 미국·캐나다 재외국민은 가정의를 거쳐 병원에 가도록 강제하는 제도에 대한 부정적인 평가가 높았고 질병 발생 시 가정의를 통하지 않고 병원을 직접 방문하는 것을 선호하였다. 결론적으로 미국·캐나다 가정의 만족도가 한국 1차 의사에 비해 높다는 충분한 증거가 없으므로 서구식 가정의 제도 도입 전 이 제도로 인한 효익과 비용에 대한 보다 심층적인 추가적인 분석이 수행될 필요가 있다.
