The aim of this study was to analyse the consumer dissatisfaction, complaint and repurchase intentions in foodservices with a particular focus on college students. For this investigation we analysed the responses of 520 college students interviewed from Daegu Gyeongbuk Province. The SPSS/WIN version 12.0 and AMOS version 6.0 were used to analyse collected data. The results were as follows : 1) Factor analysis identified 5 different consumer dissatisfaction factors: facilities, waiter/waitresses behavior, food quality, service, store operating. The level of food quality dissatisfaction was most high. Consumer complaints came in three forms: public, personally and no action. The level of personal complaint was most high. 2) AMOS analysis found that public complaints had the most influence on repurchase intentions. 3) Dissatisfaction was highest with fast food restaurants, which also received the most public complaints. 4) Dissatisfaction, complaints, and compensation strongly influenced eating-out and spending motivation of college students.

본 연구 지역에서의 연구대상자 중 AUDIT 12세 이상, CAGE 2점 이상을 기준으로 한 문제음주자의 비율이 각각 28.3%, 30.0%로 다른 전국 단위 조사결과에 비해 높았다. 본 연구에서 사용한 문제 음주의 선별도구로써의 CAGE, AUDIT는 그 점수가 높은 사람이 술을 자주 마시고, 1회 음주량도 많으며 주간 알코올 섭취량도 많은 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었고, CAGE, AUDIT를 기준으로 문제음주를 분류하였을 때 문제음주가 아닌 집단과 음주 현황 및 음주 인식도와 음주로 인한 폐해에 있어서 전반적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 그러므로 CAGE와 AUDIT가 농촌지역사회의 문제음주에 대한 선별과 음주관련 현황 조사도구로써 유용하다 하겠다. 본 연구는 농촌지역사회 인구를 대상으로 한 CAGE, AUDIT의 타당도 검증을 목적으로 한 연구는 아니었지만, 지금까지 한글로 번역된 문제성 음주의 선별도구들의 타당도 조사가 병원에 방문한 환자를 중심으로 이루어졌다는 점을 감안하면, 이후 연구에서 지역사회에서의 CAGE, AUDIT의 타당도 조사가 이루어질 필요가 있겠다. 음주에 대한 인식에 있어 문제음주 집단이 문제음주가 아닌 집단보다 대체로 적정 음주량이나 음주문화에 관대한 편으로 나타나 농촌지역의 문제음주자의 상당수는 문제음주를 인식하지 못하고 습관적으로 음주를 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 여가 활동에 있어서 문제 음주자와 문제음주가 아닌 집단 간에 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 농촌사회 여가활동의 대부분이 혼자 TV보거나 아니면 마을회관 등에서 이웃과 모여서 놀면서 습관적 음주가 일어나는 단순한 형태로 이루어지고 있어 적절한 여가활용을 통한 절주프로그램 개발이 필요하다고 여겨진다. 본 연구는 농촌지역의 지역사회 내 음주현황과 문제음주를 일으키는 음주행태와 음주문화, 여가 활용 등의 여러 관련요인에 대한 이해를 할 수 있게 할 것이다. 농촌지역에서 건강한 음주문화를 정착시키고 문제음주율을 낮추기 위해서는, 문제음주와 습관성 음주에 대한 올바른 인식을 확대시키고, 음주를 대체할 수 있는 건강한 여가시간 활용을 위해 지역사회 기반시설과 프로그램 마련 등의 노력을 계획해 볼 수 있을 것이다. 이렇게 함으로써 농촌 지역에서의 절주 프로그램이 실효를 거둘 것으로 생각되며 이를 통해 농촌인구의 건강증진에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Objectives: Unprotected leisure time exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or artificial tanning beds is the most important environmental risk factor for melanoma, a malignant skin cancer with increasing incidences over the past decades. The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of skin health information provided by several sources and different publishing issues on knowledge, risk perception, and sun protective behavior of sunbathers. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among Austrian residents (n=563) spending leisure time outdoors in August 2010. Results: Print media, television, and family were perceived as the most relevant sources of information on skin health, whereas the source physician was only ranked as fourth important source. Compared to other sources, information provided by doctors positively influenced participants' knowledge on skin risk and sun protective behavior resulting in higher scores in the knowledge test (p=0.009), higher risk perception (p<0.001), and more sun protection (p<0.001). Regarding gender differences, internet was more often used by males as health information source, whereas females were more familiar with printed information material in general. Conclusions: The results of this survey put emphasis on the demand for information provided by medical professionals in order to attain effective, long-lasting promotion of photoprotective habits.

Objectives: This study was to examine the experts perception on the operation of the national health promotion fund and related policies, and to obtain the perspective on the improving governance of the fund. Methods: Experts opinion survey was recruited 120 experts who were public health officials, and members of board in academic societies related to health promotion and health policy, and 60 experts participated in the survey. Results: Most health care experts agreed that the current allocation of health promotion fund was not optimal with its lack of allocation on promoting healthy lifestyle and R&D for health promotion, while the majority of the fund was being spent on supporting national health insurance. Thus, establishing governance system and control tower for the fund was viewed as critical. Also the status of deliberation committee should be raised to higher position where it can hold practical authority to plan and evaluate fund spending. Conclusions: The priority of health promotion fund spending should be more on improving health such as modifying life-style and spreading healthy habits, rather than on disease management or subsidizing health insurance. It is recommended that change from to environment in health promotion policy regime is required to establish effective governance system for the fund operation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between occurrence and inducing factors of herpes labialis developed after periodontal therapy and to suggest prediction model of this lesion. A total of 100 patients were studied. A standard schedule was used for interviews of patients. It included demographic information, patient and familial history of recurrent aphthous ulcer and recurrent herpes labialis, history of systemic disease, religion, and emotional state. In case of female patients, the association of dysmenorrhea and onset of recurrent herpes labialis was also observed. After periodontal therapy, some details about therapy, such as the kind of therapy, location, spending time were recorded. At next appointment, the appearance and location of herpes labialis were examined. The frequency of herpes labialis after periodontal therapy was 8% and the location was predominantly mouth angle. The significant relationship was found between the onset of herpes labialis and the history of recurrent herpes labialis, surgical therapy rather than non-surgical therapy, and spending time. The prediction model of herpes labialis was not apparently established with the results of this study. In conclusion it is suggested that we should minimize traumatic manipulation and treatment time to prevent the onset of herpes labialis after periodontal therapy.

Background: Computed tomography (CT) is one of the most efficient diagnostic methods for stroke patients. The number of CT scanners in South Korea, however, is higher than in other countries, and may cause the overuse of this tool in healthcare. We aim to study the relationship between using CT and various patient and hospital characteristics among patients with cerebral infarction. Methods: We analyzed nationwide health insurance claims data for patients due to cerebral infarction during the second half of 2013 for up to 3 months. We performed multilevel analysis, including both inpatient and hospital-level variables, to determine how factors affect CT spending and utilization. Results: The data used in our study consisted of 17,046 hospitalizations at 583 hospitals. Inpatients who visited more than one hospital had higher CT utilization numbers and cost (number: ${\geq}3$: ${\beta}$ hospitals, 2.27; p < 0.05; 2 hospitals: ${\beta}$, 0.70; p < 0.05; cost: ${\geq}3$ hospitals: ${\beta}$, 251,108; p < 0.05; 2 hospitals: ${\beta}$, 77,299; p < 0.05). People who visited a general hospital had higher numbers and cost of CT utilization than people who visited a smaller hospital. Conclusion: Increased sharing of records and improved continuity of care between hospitals are needed to help curb the overuse of CT.

Although there have been studies regarding the separating policy of dispensary and medical practice, little study have provided a concrete empirical evidence to what extent the policy objectives are achieved. In this paper, we try to provide empirical evidence whether the policy separating dispensary from medical practice achieved the policy objectives, which representatively are reducing the mis-use or over-use of anti-biotic prescriptions and medicines, and decreasing the government spending for the cost of pharmaceutical support. By comparing the average of the rate of change of the number of medicines prescribed, the rate of anti-biotics prescribed, and the government spending for the cost of pharmaceutical support between the areas where the separation policy was implemented and the exceptional areas, we concluded that it is difficult to conclude that the policy separating dispensary and medical practice achieved its policy objects, as it first announced to achieve in the introduction of the policy in 2000. However, the limitation of this study is that the data, that can thoroughly analyze the effect of separating policy of dispensary from medical practice, cannot be collected as expected. Hence, we could not use a parsimonious empirical model to evaluate the effect of the policy introduced in 2000. Rather we used a simple statistical method to extract enough empirical evidence fro m the data available. In the near future, we would expect to see more research that analyze the exact effect of policy separating dispensary and medical practice with concrete empirical model using more sophisticated dataset.

Background: This study aims to identify the monthly average medical expenses of public pension recipients, and analyze the determinants of total health and medical expenses and Western and Oriental medicine expenses, medical service expenses, and medical supplies expenses. Methods: This study used the fifth year data of 2013 out of the raw data of the Korean Retirement and Income Study collected by the National Pension Research Institute. This study conducted t-test, analysis of variance, and linear regression to verify publicly the relevance between pension recipients' general characteristics and health and medical expenses status using IBM SPSS ver. 21.0 for data analysis. Results: It was analyzed that there is a difference in the spending of expenditure and health care costs according to public pension recipients. Medical expenses of the national pensioners was higher compared to the special corporate pensioners. The national pensioner is related expenditure size, education level, family members living together, residential areas, status of spouse, number of chronic illness, and status of limitation in daily life with psychological health status. Conclusion: Therefore, fairness does not occur fire to the medical use between the special corporate pensioners and national pensioners, aggressive of government such as health policy and financial support for the retiree pension policy that reflects the reality intervention would be required.

This study aims to investigate the main factors that affected the government health expenditures in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait), during the period from 2005 to 2019. The study employs a panel data technique in order to monitor the pooled determinant variables of healthcare expenditures in these countries. The study's results indicate, by using FMOLS approach for panel data, that the average healthcare expenditures per capita in GCC countries have a positive and a significant relationship with the government revenues, the size of the population, and the governments' public debt. The positive and the significant relationships of governments' public debt may be explained even if the governments of the GCC countries suffer from a budget deficit; the GCC countries continue to increase the healthcare expenditure. The study suggests that the policymakers of the GCC countries must take into consideration those variables when they develop their healthcare policies. Also, the GCC countries urgently need to have high levels of foreign exchange reserves to maintain the expected level of spending on the healthcare sector, because their public revenues depend mainly on the oil revenues, which are fluctuating continuously.
