본 연구는 척추·관절질환 환자 만족도와 병원 추천 의향을 분석하고 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하기 위해 수행되었다. 이에 2019년 서울지역 소재 척추·관절 전문병원에서 환자 만족도와 추천 의향을 조사하였고, 인구·사회적 특성과 환자 만족도와의 관련성, 만족도 영향요인 및 추천 의향 등을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 외래의 경우 직원 용모·복장의 단정함과 청결도, 직원 친절도, 시설환경 쾌적성에서 환자 만족도가 높게 나타났고, 대기시간 관련 문항에서 환자 만족도가 낮게 나타났다. 입원의 경우 간호 영역과 병원환경 영역에서 여성의 만족도가 높았다. 하위 영역별로는 간호 영역 중 고객 존중 및 예의, 고객 경청, 담당 간호사에서 환자 만족도가 높게 나타났고, 병원환경 영역은 전반적인 병원 청결도와 안전 문항에서 만족도가 높았다. 환자 만족도와 주변에 해당 병원을 추천할 의향이 있는지를 묻는 문항 간 상관관계 분석에서는 환자 만족도와 병원 추천 의향은 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 척추·관절 질환 환자 만족도와 추천 의향 평가 결과는 척추·관절 전문병원에서 의료서비스 질 향상과 병원경영 전략 수립을 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
