Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate influencing factors on physician's intention to use cyber salesperson(cSP) to promote ethical drugs of pharmaceutical company. We considered influencing factors based on technology acceptance model(TAM) such as usefulness, easy of use, and attitude about cSP, and included trust and joyfulness of cSP. Methods : Measure items were developed from the previous studies. Data were collected from 1,012 physicians by using web-based self-administered structured questionnaire. Results : The major findings were as follows; First, attitude and intention to use cSP were not significantly varied by socio-demographic variables, such as sex, age, location, and Internet surfing time per day. Also, physician's characteristics such as training and professional level and type of employment were not significant to the variation of attitude and intention to use cSP. Second, structural equation modeling(SEM) analysis shows that usefulness and joyfulness were influencing factors of intention to use. Attitude was revealed as significant mediating factor to intention to use. Usefulness has indirect effect on intention to use via attitude. However, trust has not significant effect on intention to use, due to suppression effect. Conclusions : This results implies that cSP will be a useful agent to promote the ethical drugs to physician. Usefulness and joyfulness should be considered as important factors in designing and operating cSP in the Internet.

This study was conducted by extending Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior(TPB) model in analyzing physician's observance behavior of National Health Insurance review standards. An extended TPB model was proposed by including 'background knowledge'and 'dorganizational commitment'in original model to predict physician's review standards observance behavior. Surveys for data collection were carried out on the physicians who were working in a general hospital, clinics, specialized hospitals, local medical centers and long term care hospitals located in Daegu and Kyoung-Buk province in Korea. Two hundreds twenty copies of questionnaires were distributed and 166 physicians responded. Data were analyzed using a structural equation model. The results show that an affirmative attitude and subjective norms have significant positive effects on physicians' behavior of observing review standards. However, the effect of perceived behavioral control on intention to behavior is not significant. The organizational commitment and background knowledge have a positive effect on the intention of observance of review standards. In conclusion, because physician's observance behaviors are affected by background knowledge and organizational commitment as well as attitudes, subjective norms, hospital managements should establish a communication system to share information on the review standards among physicians and provide appropriate measures to increase physician's organizational commitment.

1989년 10월부터 실시되고 있는 약국의료보험과 의약분업제도에 관한 태도를 조사하기 위하여 대구시내 개원의사 및 재국약사를 계통적 표본추출법(systematic sampling)에 의한 표본을 선정하여 우편설문지법으로 1992년 4월 20일부터 5월 20일까지 조사하여 회신된 개원의사 184명, 개국약사 157명의 설문지를 분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 현재 시행중인 약국의료보험의 성과에 대해 개원의사는 71.2%가 '실패적'이라고 한 반면 개원약사는 13.4%가 '실패적'이라고 하였다. 개원의사의 50%는 약국의료보험을 폐지하고 의약분업을 도입해야 한다고 한 반면, 개국약사는 66.9%가 의약분업제도와는 관계없이 약국의료보험자체만으로도 성공적인 제도라고 하였다. 개국약사의 약국 1일 평균조제건수는 32.2회였으며, 약국의료보험 이용횟수는 6.2회로 조제건수의 20%에 불과했고, 의사처방전을 지참한 약국의료보험이용횟수는 조제건수의 0.7%였다. 그리고 개원의사의 원외처방전 발행경험자는 58.7%였다. 의약분업제도의 실시에 대해 개원의사는 59.2%가 찬성하였으며 27.7%가 반대하였으나 재국약사는 38.0%가 찬성, 45.5%가 반대 하였다. 그리고 약사가 의사보다 의약분업의 내용을 더 많이 안다고 하였다. 의약분업제도 실시의 찬성자중 찬성이유로 개원의사는 '의약품의 남오용 방지' (54.1%)를 많이 지적한 반면 개국약사는 '의사와 약사의 전문직능 발휘'(62.0%)를 많이 제기하였다. 그리고 분업찬성자에서 개원의사는 52.3%가 '완전강제분업'을 원한 반면, 개국약사는 81.7%가 '부분분업'을 원하였다. 의약분업제도 실시시에 처방전의 발행 방법에 대해서는 개원의사와 개국약사 모두 '일반명' 처방을 44.0%, 89.8%로 가장 많이 원하였고 개원의사에서는 '상품명' 처방도 35.3%나 차지하였다. 의약분업제도의 실시가 이루어지지 않은 이유에 대해 개원의사 및 개국약사 모두 '의사 약사단체 상호간의 업권문제'를 가장 많이 지적했으며 '국민들의 인식 및 관심 부족' '정부의 의지력 결여' 순으로 일치된 결과로 나타났다. 의약분업실시를 위한 선결조건으로는 '의료시설과 약국의 도시 농촌간의 균등분포'를 가장 많이 지적하였으며 의사는 '약사들의 수용태세 확립', 약사는 '의사의 수용태세 확립'을 그 다음으로 지적해 서로 상반된 결과가 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 첫째, 조사대상 개원의사들은 현행 약국의료보험제도에 대해 부정적 견해를 보인 반면 개국약사들은 긍정적 견해를 보였으나 약국의료보험이용은 극히 저조하고 의사의 처방전 발행도 저조한 실정이다. 이에 약국의료보험제도에서 의약분업제도로의 제도적 전환이 고려되어야 할 것으로 생각된다. 둘째, 의사와 약사의 의약분업에 대한 의견이 상이한 점으로 미루어 유추할 수 있지만 의약분업제도 실시의 장애요인으로 의 약사단체 상호간의 업권문제와 의약사간의 갈등이 지적되는 바, 이들 모두를 만족 할 대안을 선택하는 것이 쉬운일 아닐 것이므로 국민의 건강보호차원에서 정부의 중립적 의지가 있어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

The objective of this study is to identify the difference in attitude toward medical care between patients who visited a university hospital or an oriental medical hospital of oriental medical college, and physicians who engaged in the same hospitals. The subjects of this study were 397 cases who agreed to respond the prepared questionnaire, including 288 patients(146 university hospital utilizers and 142 utilzers for an oriental medical hospital) and 109 physicians(76 physicians and 33 oriental medical doctors). The attitude toward medical care was measured by the structured questionnaire developed for this study, which had high validity and reliability according to factor analysis, item discriminant validity, and Cronbach's $\alpha$ coefficients. On the criteria of mean value of care and cure score, the attitude toward medical care was classified into 4 groups encompassing a group with dependent attitude on medical care, a group with skeptical attitude toward it, a group with cure-oriented attitude, and a group with care-preferred attitude. The results of chi-square test, discriminant analysis, and logistic regression analysis were as follows; patients who visited a univisity hospital, patients who visited an oriental hospital, physicians, and oriental medical doctors included in the group with dependent attitude, the group with cure-oriented attitude, the group with skeptical attitude, and the group with care-preferred attitude, retrospectively. Among the subdomains of care and cure domains, which classified in reference to the result of factor analysis on pilot study, those that patients ranked more importantly than physicians were 'the importance of medical equipment for diagnosis and treatment', 'authority of physician, 'aggressiveness of treatment', 'information giving', 'personal interest' in the case of western medicine. In the case of oriental medicine, those were 'the importance of equipment for diagnosis and treatment', 'aggressiveness of treatment', 'amenities and accessibility', 'coordination of medical staff'. Both physicans and patients put the subdomain, 'physicians' medical knowledge and skillfulness' on the highest rank. The differences in ranking the important attributes of medical care between patients and physicians were apparent in the area of an 'importance of medical equipment for diagnosis and treatment' and so on. It meant that patient had over-expectation on medical care and suggested that the policy on demanad side such as the developement and dissemination of an evidence-based recommendation protocol for health care consumers might be important in Korea. In addition, regarding the attitude of physicians, during the medical education and training it may be neccessary to emphasize the aspect of 'care' of medical care rather than 'cure'. In planning on heath care delivery system, it should be considered that there is a difference in the attitude toward medical care between western medicine and oriental medicine as well as between health care providers and consumers. We expect that more valid measurement tool be developed in this area, which may be major limitation of this study and that this kind of research be expanded into the non-academic settings.
