  • 오늘날의 시장 경제는 소비자 중심으로 빠르게 변모하고 있다. 이는 점점 가속화 되어가는 소비자의 생활수준과 교육수준의 향상, 다양한 대중매체를 통한 구매자의 상품에 대한 접근의 용이성에 기인한다. 다양한 선택의 대안 속에서 자신의 가치를 만족시킬 수 있는 상품을 선택할 수 있는 소비자 중심의 시장 경제체제는 소비자의 소득수준의 증가와 전 국민 의료보험의 실시로 인한 의료 수요확대를 통해 의료분야에서도 그 두각을 나타내고 있다. 최근 우리나라의 의료계는 의료기관의 수 및 의료 인력의 증가로 인해 경쟁이 강화되고 있는 실정이고, 이러한 경쟁 강화를 통해 소비자의 시장 선택의 폭은 넓어지게 되었다. 이런 시점에 소비자의 입장에서 본 의료서비스에 있어서의 고객만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인, 서비스의 문제점, 개선점에 대한 조사와 연구는 필요 불가결하다고 하겠다. 이 연구는 2006년 1월 23일부터 4월 15일 까지 서울시에 소재한 연세대학교 치과병원에 내원한 환자 784명을 대상으로 진행되었으며 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 자기기입식 방법으로 자료를 수집하여 이를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 1. 응답자의 사회인구학적인 특성은 성별이나 결혼여부는 적절하게 표본이 추출 된 것으로 보이나 직업에서는 학생 및 대학(원)생, 내원이 유와 현재 받고 있는 치료에 있어서는 교정치료가 높은 비율로 나타났다. 2. 치과병원에 대한 전반적인 만족도는 전체의 74%가 높은 만족을 나타내었다. 3. 독립변수들 중 구체적 서비스 항목에 대해서는 '서비스시스템', '친절도', '설명', '대기시간설명', '예약시스템', '응급상황에의 대처', '치과진료경험의 풍부', '치과적 지식의 유무', '병원의 규모', '소독', '내부시설', '주차' 에 대한 만족도는 높게, '치료비', '치료 준비시간', '대기시간', '치료시간', '예약기간' 에 대한 만족도는 낮게 나타났다. 4. 독립변수들 간의 상관관계 분석을 실시하였고 이들 사이에는 높은 선형관계가 없었다. 5. 독립변수들과 종속변수 사이의 상호관련성을 평가하기 위한 프로빗 회귀분석 결과 총 34개의 독립변수 중에서 불편감 해소, 서비스 시스템, 친절도, 설명, 한 번 내원 시 치료시간, 예약시스템, 지식의 유무, 내부시설에 대한 만족도의 8개 독립변수가 유의수준 1%하에서 서로 높은 상호관련성을 보였다. 고객의 만족은 전적으로 고객의 주관적인 평가에 의존한다. 환자들의 욕구가 다양화되고 고급화되면서 의료서비스에 대한 기대수준이 높아지고 있기 때문에 이에 부합하는 서비스를 제공하는 것이 의료서비스의 고객인 환자를 만족시키는 필수 요건이 된다. 많은 의료기관이 환자를 중심으로 하여 고객만족을 위한 병원, 고객감동을 위한 병원이 되기 위하여 노력을 하고 있으며, 이는 치과의료 분야에 있어서도 적용되고 있는 현실이다. 내원환자들의 만족도를 향상시키기 위해서는 이 연구의 결과를 기초로 한 새로운 병원 경영 전략의 수립과 그로 인한 의료 서비스의 질 향상으로 고객이 만족하는 양질의 의료서비스를 제공하는 노력이 필요하리라 여겨진다.

  • 투자상품의 확산, 고령화 등으로 인한 금융니즈 다양화와 자본시장법 시행으로 인한 금융회사간 치열한 경쟁으로 인해 금융산업 내에서 마케팅의 역할이 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 그러나, 지금까지 다른 산업에 비해 금융산업의 마케팅 연구는 상대적으로 부족하였다. 본 연구는 향후 구체적인 금융마케팅 연구들이 진행되기에 앞서 국내 금융마케팅 연구들을 정리하고, 국내 금융회사 마케팅 담당자를 In-depth 인터뷰하여 실제 국내 금융 마케팅 현황을 조사하였다. 이를 통해 향후 금융마케팅 연구에 필요한 시사점을 얻고자 하였다. 분석 결과, 다른 산업의 마케팅과 다른 금융 마케팅만의 고유 특징에 대한 이론적인 연구가 부족하였고, 금융산업 내에서 은행, 증권, 보험, 카드 산업 간의 마케팅 특징 차이에 대한 연구도 부족하였음을 알 수 있었다. 소비자행동 관점에서 금융고객의 의사결정 과정에 관한 연구도 부족하였다. 또한, 우리나라의 금융회사의 마케팅 현황은 외형적으로 어느 정도 성숙 단계에 접어들었다고 볼 수 있으나, 실제 업무는 여전히 과거의 영업지원, 혹은 프로모션 및 CRM 데이터 분석 등 단기적인 부분에 치중되어 있었다. 그리고, 은행, 증권, 보험, 카드 회사 등 각 세부 금융산업별 마케팅 담당자들이 중요하게 생각하는 금융마케팅의 키워드와 문제 인식 정도도 서로 다름을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 이러한 분석 결과를 바탕으로 향후 금융마케팅 연구를 위한 시사점과 함께 6가지의 연구명제를 제안하였다.

  • This study was conducted to provide basic data for policy of Oriental medicine by analyzing community resident's consciousness of taking herb medicine and its related factors. Data were collected from 1478 residents from March 2, 2001 to May 31, 2001. The results of this study are summarized as follows. 1) The rate of experience of taking herb medicine was 85.2%(88.2% of 'male'; 82.5% of 'female'). It appeared to be significantly higher in the groups of 'the married', 'housewife', and 'Buddhist'. As the age increased, so the rate of experience of taking herb medicine was significantly high. 2) In case of purpose of taking herb medicine, taking herb medicine as a restorative(66.8%) was much higher than taking it as a curative medicine. 3) 52.1% of the respondents satisfied with the effect of herb medicine. The groups of 'male', 'older age', 'residents in a big city', 'insurant in company', and 'the employed' showed significantly high rate in satisfying with herb medicine than the other groups. 4) According to the reason for preferring herb medicine, 36.7% of the respondents preferred herb medicine because the herb medicine was effective, while 27.8% preferred it because its side effect was low. 16.7% preferred it because persons around them recommended it. 5) 42.6% of the respondents did not want to take the herb medicine because the price of the herb medicine was high. Also 20.6% of the respondents did not want to take herb medicine because it is uneasy to take herb medicine. 15.8% did not want to take it because certain food should not be taken during the period of taking it. 9.4% did not want to take it because it tasted bitter. 6) In case of opinions on side effects of herb medicine, 40.8% of the respondents thinks that herb medicine is free from side effects, while 37.5% thinks that it causes side effects. There were significant difference in the opinions on side effects by sex, age, marital status, resident area, education level, occupation, and type of health insurance. 7) 60.7% of the respondents thinks the price of herb medicine is not resonable, while only 10.9% thinks it is resonable. 8) 45.2% of the respondents uses packs of decocted herbs although they think the packs of decocted herb are a little low effective because decocting herbs in home is bothersome. 45.2% uses packs of decocted herbs because they are convenient, being not related to the effect. 7.6% takes medicinal herbs after decocting them in a clay pot because they think the packs of decocted herbs have low effect. 51.9% does not know whether taking herb medicine in summer is effective or not because the effect is different according to their physical constitutions. 35.5% thinks that taking herb medicine is summer is effective because their physical stamina is weakened after sweated a lot, while 12.6% thinks that it is not effective because the effect of herb medicine disappears with sweat. 9) According to the level of satisfaction with Oriental medical care, the respondents marked $3.47{\pm}0.64$ points on the base of 5 points. It was significantly higher in the groups of 'male', 'the married, resident in a big city', 'highschool graduate', 'the unemployed', 'office clerk', 'growing up in a big city', 'insurant in region', and 'the middle class'. 10) According to the result of a regression analysis of factors influencing preference for herb medicine, the factors displayed significant difference by sex, age, education level, health status, and times of receiving Oriental medical care. As shown in the above results, the community residents satisfy with the effect of herb medicine. Therefore, the method of taking herb medicine without difficulty must be devised. The medicinal herbs in packages need to be included in health insurance coverage and resonable price of herb medicine must be set. Also, education program for community residents must be developed in order to provide right information in herb medicine. Therefore, related public authority, associations, and professionals must make efforts, forming organic cooperative system.

  • Medical insurance and health care delivery system enabled Korean people to get the necessary medical service, but it caused increased needs for medical service, and resulted in the occurence of some problems such as a lack of manpower and medical facilities. In order to solve these problems, many countries, which already had medical insurance system had developed home care system and it has been regarded effective both in reducing costs and in increasing the rates of turnover of bed. Recently, Korea has included home nursing care in its health care delivery system, and some models of the hospital based home nursing care had been tried and its effects had been evaluated. So, author tried to run a home nursing care for the Cesarean section mothers and evaluate Its effects both in the mother's health and costs. This study was designed as a Quasi-experimental study. Subjects were thirty mothers who got Cesarean section operation in hospital in Seoul. Experimental group consisted of 15 volunteers, and control group were selected by means of matching technique. Data were gathered from February 1st to March 26th by two assistants who were trained by author. Experimental group were discharged on the 4th day after their operation, and got nursing care and assessment about their home three times on the 5th, 6th, and 7th day. Control group stayed in the hospital until 7th day as usual and were checked on the same day as above mentioned To evaluate the state of physiological recovery, vital signs, H.O.F, presence of edema in the legs, bathing, appetite, sleep, presence of pain or discomfort in the breasts, amount of lochia, color of lochia, defecation urination. To compare incidence of complication in experimental group with that in control group, specific assessment was done such variables as smell of lochia, presence of inflammation of operation wound, dizziness, and presence of immobilization in the extremities. The activities of daily living were checked Satisfaction of nursing were checked To calculate costs, author asked subjects to specify expenditure including hospital charge, traffic enpenses, and food expenses. The results were as fellows. 1. On effectiveness of home nursing careThere were n significant differences between experimental and control group in incidence of abnormal symptoms and any complication. The number of taking a bath [POD #5 P=0.001, #6 P=0.0003, #7 P=0.001] and the degree of appetite [POD #5 P=0.03, #6 P=0.02, #7 P=0.013] were significantly higher in experimental group than in control group. Contrary to author's expectation, the degree of the activities of daily living in experimental group was not higher than that of control group. All of the experimental group said they were satisfied with the home nursing care. 2. Cost analysis 1) Hospital charge of experimental group was lower than that of control group. [P=0.009] By taking home nursing care, average period of hospitalization was shortened to 3.1 days, and family members could save 22.8 hours. Total amount of money saved by early discharge was 3,443,093 Won. It is estimated that total amount of money saved by early discharge in a year will be 40,398,956 Won. 2) Home nursing care charge of 15 mothers was 1,781,633 Won. It is estimated that total amount of money Saved by it in a year Will be 20,904,493 Won. It was lower altogether than hospital charge of the three days which is 5th, 6th, 7th day of operation. The average cost of single home visit was calculated 10,940 Won. It took 87 minutes per round and it costed 1,017.3 Won. The average hour of home care was 39.0 minutes. 3) It is expected that early discharge can bring forth the increase of hospital income. On the condition that the rate of running bed is 100%, the expected increase of hospital income will be 202,374, 026 Won in a year. Suggestions for further study and nursing practice are as follows : 1. For the welfare of patients and the increased rates of running bed, home nursing care system should be included in the hospital nursing care system. 2. Studies to test effect of home nursing care on the patients with other diseases are needed. 3. Establishment of law on the practice of home nursing care is strongly recommended.

  • Background: The number of outpatients visiting large university teaching hospitals has increased drastically with the introduction of a nationwide health care insurance in 1989 and the improvement of the socio-economic status of the population. This resulted in long waiting times for services, particularly prescribed drugs, which have been patients' chief complaints. Hospitals have tried to solve the problem with limited success because their approach lacked comprehensive research. The objective of this study is to investigate associations between waiting times and variables defining a total work system. Methods: Data for the outpatient pharmacy department in a tertiary care university teaching hospital located in Seoul was analyzed to achieve the study objective. Associations of pharmacy system variables -- work load, work force, pharmacist work schedule, machine problems, and inventory control -- with mean and 99th percentile of waiting times were examined by the hierarchical stepwise regression method. Day was a unit of the analyses. Results: The regression models explained 65.8% of variance in the mean waiting time and 61.34% in the 99th percentile of waiting times. The break-down of the printer for drug envelops, Automatic Tablet Counters (ATCs), and main computer system lasted longer than 30 minutes increased the mean for 7.7 minutes, 4.5 minutes, and 7.0 minutes, respectively, and the 99th percentile for 14.8 minutes, 9.0 minutes, and 15.7 minutes, respectively. Concerning the work force, study results showed that there were significant differences in the productivity of pharmacists with work experience more than three years, one to three years, and less than one year, and showed that peak time aid work by pharmacists at job assignments other than the outpatient pharmacy, part-time pharmacists, and the installation of ATCs were effective in reducing waiting times, Finally, study findings indicated that the operational policy of work assignment and rotation schedule, supply and inventory of drugs at work tables, and readiness for undisrupted work during the work hours could have a significant effect on waiting times. Conclusion: The study results indicated that efforts to reduce waiting times for prescribed drugs should be geared toward every components of the pharmacy work system ranging from work schedule of pharmacists and supply of dugs at work tables. These findings should provide hospital managers with right directions in battling the problem.

  • Objective : The aim of this study were to measure quality of life(QOL) in liver transplant recipients, to compare QOL between living donor liver transplant recipients and cadaveric liver transplant recipients and to investigate whether SF-36 may be used as a disease-specific instrument in liver transplant recipients. Methods : We conducted a single-center cross-sectional study of 133 LT recipients ages 13 to 65 years, all of whom had had Liver Transplantation(LT) at least 1 months previously. QOL was assessed using a self-completion questionnaire consisting of the Bang Whal Ran(1991) instruments and the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey(SF-36) health status profile measure. We investigated whether the SF-36 instrument may be used as a disease-specific instrument in LT recipients. Individual scale scores range from 0 to 100, with higher score reflecting better health. Data on demographics, clinical status at pre transplantation 1 day, post transplantation clinical status, and graft function were collected to identify predictors of post transplantation QOL. Results : Standard measures for test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and discriminant and concurrent validity were examined. The reliability of the SF-36, as measured by test-retest correlation(Pearson coefficients: 0.729, p=0.002) and by internal consistency(Cronbach's alpha: 0.9431) exceeded conventional acceptability criteria. The correlation between domain scores of SF-36 and the Bang Whal Ran(l991) was clear and logical in that the clinical characteristics of SF-36 strongly correlated with the clinical component summary score of the Bang Whal Ran(l991)(r = 0.8155, P<.01). SF-36 scale scores were compared between Cadaveric Liver Transplant recipients and Living Donor Liver Transplant recipients. Donor types of post LT did not influence HRQOL(p>0.05). 87% of the liver transplant recipients were satisfied to get LT. Satisfaction of post LT showed significantly greater HRQOL(p<0.001). Conclusion : SF-36 is found reliable and valid. This study indicates thet Donor Type did not influence HRQOL after LT. The information gained from this study will help us to better define expectations and the clinical course after liver transplantation to patients and their families.

  • An image exists in the thought of every subjective person and it exercises its influence over everything, having a great power in the real world. An positive image of the nurse has an influence on her faith, value and confidence, therefore increasing her job satisfaction, helping to upgrade her level of profession of nursing through qualitative nursing service as a result, considering the necessity of such an image when it comes to improvement of the profession, the confirmation of the image is indispensable to its evaluation of a speciality in nursing. This study is intended to help that improvement of the nursing profession in the present so that the total effort in every field of nursing is made and to offer basic material for developing a strategy to improve the image of nurses. This study is designed to investigate such an image descriptively. The subjects include 105 nurses, 60 doctors, 68 office workers, 88 medical engineers, 127 patients and there protectors with a total of 448 adapted with accidental sampling, who work at Y and W general hospital in Chonju. The measuring instrument consists of 40 question, with the researcher amended and made from on of Inja Song(1993), Donsoon Lee(1995), Ilsim yang(1998), and its Cronbach's alpha coefficient is .95. Data were collected from March 1 2000 to March 20, 2000 using self-reported questionnairs, analyzed with SPSS WIN 7.5 after encoding. The results are as follows: 1. Most of the subjects thinks the nursing as a hard, stressful, always busy job(more than 75%), and consider nurses as good-looking, supportive and responsible to co-workers to above average degree($50.0{\sim}74.9%$), especially it shows the idea that nursing is independently academic job and has come to fasten itself upon the public. But it shows below the everage($25.0%{\sim}49.9%$) in regard to self development as a specialist, affection for there job, an association activity, service to the community, high intelligence level and direct given patient nursing service. It also rated low as a recommendable job, independently nursing accomplishment, social position. 2. The nurses, patients and there protectors expressed more positive opinions than doctors, medical engineers, office workers about the image of the nurse(F=18.80, p=.00). This fact indicates that the former group evaluated the image similarly contrary to lowness of the latter. 3. In the study on what influenced upon the image, it defines to 79.8% by direct contact in the hospital or acquaintance with nurses, and 16.3% by mass media. 67.3% answered that they saw the image in a new light through hospitalization, which suggests an important source for the image management originates from caring for the quality of nursing service. Considering the evaluation of the image above, we need strategies to lead a unique professional knowledge and technological development, insurance of professional self-determination, high social position, participation in group activities, dedication to lifetime job, in order that nursing comes to expand as a professional occupation. Also, as for generating more positive images, we must take the quality of nursing service into account and offer and monitor correct information about the expanded role and function of the nurse continuously so that mass media reflect a more accurate image of nurses in general.

  • 본 연구는 공무원들의 스트레스나 피로수준과 같은 사회심리적 건강상태가 그들의 직급, 근무경력 등의 직업관련 특성이나 업무요구도, 업무자율성, 직장 내에서의 사회적 지지와 같은 직무스트레스 내용에 의해 영향을 받고 있는지를 구조방정식모형을 통하여 검토하고자 시도하였다. 연구대상은 대전광역시의 5개 정부 공공기관에 근무하는 일반 사무직 행정공무원 805명이었으며, 자료 수집은 2009년 10월 1일부터 11월 30일까지의 기간 동안에 표준화된 자기기입식 설문지(self-administered questionnaire)를 사용하여 실시하였다. 연구결과, 공무원들의 스트레스 및 피로수준은 직급, 근무경력, 업무만족도, 업무자율성, 상사의 지지도 및 동료의 지지도와는 유의한 음의 상관관계를 나타낸 반면, 년 간 결근일수, 업무요구도와는 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 구조방정식모형 분석 결과 연구대상자들의 직무스트레스 요인은 직업관련 특성 요인보다 사회심리적 건강상태에 더 큰 영향을 미쳤으며, 직무스트레스가 높을수록 사회심리적 건강상태를 나타내는 스트레스와 피로수준을 높여주는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 직업관련 특성의 인지정도가 높을수록 직무스트레스 요인을 감소시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 공무원들의 스트레스나 피로를 감소시키기기 위해서는 직업관련 특성에 따른 직무내용의 개선을 위한 프로그램의 개발 및 시행이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
