Purpose: This study was conducted to identify effects of Medicaid Case Manager's communication competence and stress on their job satisfaction. Methods: The current work is descriptive research, and the participants were 154 medicaid case managers. Data were collected between May and July, 2017 through Embrain, a specialized research organization. The data were analyzed using independent t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression. Results: The mean communication competence of the medicaid case managers was 3.61, stress 1.76, and their job satisfaction 2.74. Age and average monthly compensation brought significant differences in their job satisfaction. Their communication competence was correlated with stress (r=-.35, p<.001), but not with their job satisfaction. The stress was the most influential factor in job satisfaction (${\beta}=-.45$). Conclusion: The results of this work show that the medicaid case managers' communication competence was not an influence factor of their job satisfaction, which is different from implications from the previous studies and needs confirmation through future research. In addition the results of this study also suggest that stress management can be a useful approach to the improvement of medicaid case managers' job satisfaction.

본 연구의 목적은 의료급여관리사가 수행한 의료급여 사례관리가 고위험군 의료급여 수급권자의 건강관리 및 전반적 의료이용에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위함이다. 2012년 10월 1일부터 2013년 3월 31일까지 Y구에서 의료급여 사례관리를 제공받은 대상자 중 113명의 조사 자료를 연구대상으로 하였다. 의료급여 사례관리 제공 전과 제공 후 자신의 질병상태 이해, 의료급여제도 이해, 약물복용과 생활습관관리에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 또한 전반적 의료이용의 적정성, 이용 기관수, 사회적 고립도 및 건강상태도 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 실급여일수, 외래내원일수와 기관부담금도 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보여 고위험군 의료급여 사례관리 대상자의 전반적 의료이용에 긍정적인 효과를 나타냈다. 향후 의료급여 사례관리 사업의 다양화, 사후관리 및 모니터링 프로그램의 강화가 필요하다.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to compare recipients' health behavior, attitude to using medicaid, medication compliance, and the changes in hospital cost and visit-day of in-patient and out-patient care between tele-care regions (TCR) and general care regions (GCR) in Korean medicaid. Method: The design of the study was ex-post facto comparing recipients in TCR and GCR. The sample included 625 persons in TCR and 410 persons in GCR. To collect materials, the case manager interviewed recipients of medicaid and filled out questionnaires which were analyzed through SAS/PC 9.1. Results: In studying health behavior and medication, compliance was not significant. However, the attitude to using medicaid was significantly more positive in TCR than in GCR. In out-patients, the change of hospital visit-day was not significant between TCR and GCR, but TCR showed a reduction in hospital cost compared to GCR. For in-patient recipients, GCR showed a greater reduction in changes in hospital cost and visit-day compared to TCR. Conclusions: The results of the study show that attitudes to using medicaid via telephone are positive and results are more effective than hospital visit consultation, and the cost of out-patient care could be reduced.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of an eight session integrated case management program for improvement of medication adherence, physical function, pain, and depression among medical aid beneficiaries with osteoarthritis. Method: A nonequivalent control group pre-posttest design was employed. Participants were 55 medical aid beneficiaries who agreed to participate in this study, and were assigned to an experimental group (n=28) or control group (n=27). The framework of this research derived from Cox's Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior guided the overall intervention and the components. The program led by a case manager with a medication calendar, motivating interviewing and coaching strategies and collaboration with a pharmacist. Analysis included change in scores, ${\chi}^2$-test, and t-test. Result: The results showed significant increase in medication adherence, physical function and decrease joint pain, joint stiffness and depression in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: The eight session integrated case management program indicated an effect on medication adherence, pain, physical function, and depression. Partnership with a pharmacist is recommended for medication adherence and conduct of further studies will be needed in order to determine the long-term effect of an extended integrated program on health outcomes.

이 연구의 목적은 지역사회기반의 자기관리지지중재가 골관절염 의료급여수급자의 환자활력, 관절유연성 및 건강 관련 삶의 질에 미치는 단기효과를 확인하기 위함이었다. 연구 설계는 자기관리지지중재의 효과를 검증하기 위하여 무작위 대조군 전후설계를 활용하였으며, 이 연구는 자기주도적 관절염질병관리 역량강화연구의 일부이다. 연구대상은 일 지역 고위험군 의료급여수급자 중에서 60명의 골관절염환자를 대상으로 실험군(n=30)과 대조군(n=30)에 무작위 할당하였다. 8회기로 구성된 자기관리지지중재는 대상자 중심의 케어를 전략으로 인지 정서 행위기술을 활용하였으며, 교육 훈련된 의료급여관리사에 의하여 제공되었다. 연구도구는 구조화된 설문지, 관절각도기 및 줄자를 활용하였다. 자료 분석방법은 기술적 통계와 ${\chi}^2-test$, Fisher's exact test, t-test, ANCOVA를 활용하였다. 실험군은 대조군에 비하여 자기관리를 위한 환자활력, 관절유연성이 유의하게 증가되었으나 건강 관련 삶의 질 수준은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 향후에는 자기관리지지중재에 대한 장기(9 and 12-month follow up) 효과가 제시될 필요가 있다.
