Abstract

The aim of this study was to provide the basic data for the betterment of public medical services. A questionnaire survey on the quality of the services and the intention of revisiting the hospital was administered to 330 patients in a public hospital located in Seoul. The mean satisfaction of hospital medical services was 4.11, whereas that of the revisiting intention was 3.94. The relationship between the satisfaction of medical services and the intention of revisiting was significant (t=11.335, p<.001). The intention of revisiting increased with increasing satisfaction of medical services of a hospital. Therefore, to enhance satisfaction, a hospital should identify the needs of people looking for a public hospital, increase rapport with the neighboring communities, and provide public amenities.

본 연구는 서울에 소재한 일개 공공병원을 이용하는 환자 330명을 대상으로 의료서비스 만족도와 재이용의사를 파악하여 공공의료 서비스를 개선시키기 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시행되었다. 본 연구결과 병원 의료서비스 만족도는 평균 4.11점, 재이용의사는 평균 3.94점을 나타냈다. 의료서비스 만족도가 재이용의사에 미치는 영향은 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 보였고 설명력은 32.9%였다(t=11.335, p<.001). 결론적으로 의료서비스에 대한 이용자들의 만족도가 높을수록 다시 의료기관을 찾을 의사가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 만족도를 높이기 위해서는 공공의료기관을 찾는 대상자들의 요구를 파악할 필요가 있으며 병원 인근 지역주민과의 친화력 강화 및 편의 시설 확충 등이 필요하다.
