본 연구는 국민들의 질환별 한방 치료효과 인식을 중심으로 한약 복용 의향에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 첩약(한약) 건강보험 시범사업의 원활한 추진 및 향후 본사업 확대 시 기초자료를 제공하고자 진행되었다. 자료는 2017 한방의 료이용 및 한약소비실태조사를 이용하였고, 일반국민 5,000명 중 응답을 완료한 3,032명을 대상으로 빈도분석, 교차분석, 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과, 소화기질환과 관절염에 대한 한방 치료효과 인식이 향후 한약 복용 의향에 유의한 영향요인으로 나타났다. 첩약(한약) 건강보험 시범사업이 한약을 제도권 내에 편입시키고, 한약의 질 관리를 통해 한약 치료의 대중화를 목표로 하고 있는 만큼, 한약 복용에 대해 수용성이 높은 소화기질환과 관절염을 대상 질환 확대 시 고려할 필요가 있다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to analyze the report conducted in 2014 by the Ministry of Health and Welfares on influences of private insurance coverage on the use of Korean medicine. Methods : We analyzed Ministry of Health and welfares report on the use and consumption of Korean medicine to fit the purpose of this study. Comparison between private insurance holders and non-holders was made in the areas of sociodemographic characteristics, patient distribution by disorders, total number of disorders and existence of complex diseases, general perception of Korean medicine, and medical expenses and visits. Logistic regression analysis was made to verify the private insurance coverage. Results : Among sociodemographic characteristics, significant differences were observed in age distribution, education, professions, income level, and housing factors. But genders, area of residence, and marital status didn't show significant differences. Other significant differences including side effects, experience with Korean medicine, herbal medicine and acupuncture treatments, and main visiting facilities were shown between private insurance holders and non-holders. Majority of disorders treated with Korean medicine were musculoskeletal issues, and criteria of number of disorders, multiple diseases factors, and medical expenses/visits showed significant differences between the two groups. Conclusions : Summarizing above results indicate that holding a private insurance in addition to National Health Insurance contributes significant influences on the use of Korean medicine.
