Background: Mental health issues such as stress and depression have been regarded as major social problems in Korea. We investigated the relationship between stress and depression with unmet medical needs (UMN). Methods: Using the nationwide database of 2010 Korea National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (K-NHANES), subjects aged 19 years or above were selected (n=6,055). In the K-NHANES questionnaire, subjects were asked about their UMN experience, severity of stress, and perceived depression lasting at least 2 weeks over the past year. The effects of stress and depression on UMN were analyzed in 4 models established by adding predisposing, enabling and need factors in a step-wise fashion. The risks for UMN were also assessed according to the causes of UMN. Results: Individuals who felt stress 'very often' (odds ratio (OR) 3.28, 95% CI=2.23-4.86) and 'often' (OR 2.53, 95% CI=1.93-3.31) and who experienced depression (OR 1.68, 95% CI=1.35-2.10) reported significantly elevated UMN rates, and these effects were substantial especially for the individuals who had UMN due to economic constraint. Females, lower education level, lower income, unemployed status, and negative perceptions about health status were found to be additional risk factors for UMN. Conclusion: Our results confirmed the risks of stress and depression on UMN. It is strongly advisable to create initiatives to improve mental health, particularly stress and depression, and to fulfill individuals' medical utilization needs.

본 연구는 암생존자의 삶의 질에 대해 보다 면밀한 검토를 통해 이들을 위한 서비스 및 정책 마련을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행되었다. 이에 본 연구는 사회문화적 영향을 다르게 수용하게 되는 성차(gender difference)를 중심으로 암생존자의 삶의 질의 차이와 예측 요인들의 상대적 영향력을 검증하였다. 이를 위해 국민건강영양조사 제 6기 중 2013년 자료에서 추출한 암생존자 203명을 표본으로 남녀 집단간 삶의 질 평균차이 검증과 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 삶의 질의 하위 영역 모두에서 여성이 남성에 비해 낮은 삶의 질을 보였으며, 전체적인 삶의 질에 있어서도 여성의 삶의 질은 유의미하게 낮았다. 위계적 회귀분석 결과, 성차에 따른 예측 변인이 다르게 나타났는데 남성은 주관적 건강인식이 유의한 정적 영향을 미치고 있었으며 여성은 미충족 의료욕구(unmet medical need)가 가장 큰 예측력을 가진 유의미한 변인으로 부적 영향을 미치고 있었으며, 또한 연령이 높을수록 삶의 질이 낮았으며, 주관적 건강인식과는 유의미한 정적 관계를 보였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 성차를 고려한 암생존자 관리의 방향성 제고가 필요하며 여성암생존자 중 고령, 건강상태가 좋지 못한 경우, 의료서비스의 접근성이 낮은 집단에 대한 보다 집중적 서비스를 마련해야하는 등의 실천적 함의와 후속연구에 대한 제언을 제시하였다.

Objectives : This study examined the health policy researchers' needs and their accessibility towards health insurance claim datasets according to their academic capacity. Methods : An online questionnaire to capture relevant proxy variables for academic needs, accessibility, and research capacity was constructed based on previous studies. The survey was delivered to active health policy researchers through three major scholarly associations in South Korea. Seven-hundred and one scholars responded while the survey as open for 12 days (starting on December 20th, 2010). Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were carried out. Results : Regardless of the definition for operational needs, the prevalent needs of survey respondents were not met with the current provision of claim data. Greater research capacity was shown to be correlated with increased demand for claim data along with a positive correlation between attempts to obtain claim datasets and research capacity. A greater research capacity, however, was not necessarily correlated with better accessibility to the claim data. Conclusions : The substantial unmet need for claim data among the healthcare policy research community calls for establishing proactive institutions which could systematically prepare and make available public datasets and provide call-in services to facilitate proper handling of data.

Health policy is directed to equity in the provision of primary care for rural people before the year of 2, 000. This study aimed to define and identify the need for physician's care by using empirical data, and suggested an alternative of the primary care delivery system in rural areas to the government. 1. Twenty percent of the study population wanted to obtain any form of medical care services. : 9.3 percent of the population was in need for physician's care; 15 percent of the need was met by physicians, while 85 percent remained unmet at the time of survey in 1979. 2. For meeting all the need for physician's primary care, 2.9 annual physician visits per capita are demanded. An alternative, which was devised in some favourable way at reasonable cost in rural settings, was suggested. It was to deploy the physician extender such as community health practitioner in the infrastructure of the health care delivery system, whose supervision is provided by physician, based on experience of the KHDI health demonstration project. 3. One physician, two community health practitioners and two community health aides should be assigned in distant locations for meeting all the estimated need for physician's primary care for 10, 000 rural underserved residents.
