초록

본 연구의 목적은 의료취약지 특히 서남권 도서지역의 의료불평등 정도를 파악하고 개선점을 마련해 보고자 시도되었다. 연구방법으로는 '의료취약', '의료불평등', '도서지역' 등을 키워드로 하여 체계적 문헌고찰을 하여 14편을 분석하였으며, 또한 공공의료전달체계에 있는 의료인 9명에게 포커스그룹 혹은 심층 인터뷰(FGI)를 시행하여 현황 및 요구도를 파악하였다. 연구결과로는 서남권 특히 도서지역의 의료불평등을 확인할 수 있었으며, FGI통해 전문인력의 부족, 행정지원체계의 부족 등을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구의 결론으로 도서지역의 취약성을 개선하기 위한 적극적 행정적 지원은 물론 공공의료의 효율성이 높아 질 수 있는 현실적인 방안이 마련되어져야 함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the degree of medical inequality in medical vulnerable areas, especially in the southwestern islands, and to prepare improvements. As a research method, 14 pieces were analyzed by systematic literature review with keywords such as 'medical vulnerability', 'medical inequality', and 'island area', and a focus group or in-depth interview (FGI) was conducted on 9 medical personnel in the public medical delivery system to identify the current status and demand. As a result of the study, medical inequality in the southwest region, especially in island areas, was confirmed, and the lack of professional manpower and administrative support system were confirmed through FGI. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that realistic measures should be prepared to increase the efficiency of public health care as well as active administrative support to improve the vulnerability of island areas.
