Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of characteristics of maritime telemedicine (service quality, recognition or not of service, health counselling service experience or not) on seafarer's satisfaction, and also analyze the effect of seafarer's satisfaction on loyalty. This study's data was collected from the Research Report of Survey of telemedicine service subjects in 2017 conducted in the maritime telemedicine pilot project. However, only 103 seafarers who received maritime telemedicine (Tele-Monitering) services were analyzed statistically. The main results of this study were as follows. ⅰ) Better service quality led to higher levels of satisfaction, ii) High levels of seafarer's satisfaction led to high levels of loyalty, iii) Seafarers whose age is under 50 than 30 years old are less satisfied, ⅳ) In total boarding career, Seafarers with more than 5 years but less than 10 years were more satisfied than seafarers with less than 5 years, ⅴ) Seafarers with more than 10 years but less than 15 years were more satisfied than seafarers with less than 5 years, ⅵ) Seafarers with more than 15 years but less than 20 years were more satisfied than seafarers with less than 5 years, ⅶ) Also, Seafarers in excess of 20 years were more satisfied than seafarers with less than 5 years, In conclusion, ⅰ) Better service quality led to higher levels of satisfaction and loyalty. Accordingly, the improvement of service quality is not only an important factor in improving satisfaction and loyalty, but also plays an important role in forming a positive image of maritime telemedicine. ⅱ) Seafarers with younger age and lower overall total boarding career were more satisfied. It is believed that the seafarer who are willing to use telemedicine and who are willing to refer to others are young.

본 연구는 해양원격의료의 서비스 특성(서비스 질, 서비스의 인지 여부, 건강 상담 서비스의 경험 여부)이 선원만족도에 얼마나 영향을 미치는지 분석하고, 또한, 선원만족도가 충성도에 얼마나 영향을 미치는지를 분석하였다. 이를 위해, 해양원격의료 시범사업에서 수행했던 2017년도 서비스 대상자 설문조사에서 수집된 데이터를 활용하였다. 다만, 본 연구에서는 해양원격의료 중 화상원격(Tele-Monitering) 서비스를 받은 선원 103명을 연구의 대상으로 실증 분석을 하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다.ⅰ) 서비스 질이 높을수록 만족도는 높았다, ⅱ) 만족도가 높을수록 충성도는 높았다, ⅲ) 30세 미만보다 50세 미만의 선원들이 만족도가 낮았다. ⅳ) 총 승선경력에서, 5년 이상에서 10년 미만인 선원이 5년 미만인 선원보다 만족도가 높았다, ⅴ) 10년 이상에서 15년 미만인 선원이 5년 미만인 선원보다 만족도가 높았다, ⅵ) 15년 이상에서 20년 미만인 선원이 5년 미만인 선원보다 만족도가 높았다, ⅶ) 또한, 20년 초과인 선원이 5년 미만인 선원보다 만족도가 높았다. 결론적으로,ⅰ) 해양원격의료 서비스 질이 높을수록 만족도는 높았고, 만족도가 높을수록 충성도는 높았다. 따라서 서비스 질의 향상은 만족도 및 충성도를 높이는데 중요한 요소일 뿐만 아니라, 해양원격의료에 대한 긍정적인 이미지 형성에 중요한 역할을 한다고 하겠다. ⅱ) 나이가 젊고, 대체적으로 총 승선경력이 낮은 선원이 만족도가 높았다. 이는 원격의료에 대한 이용 의사가 있고, 다른 사람에게 추천할 의도가 있는 선원은 젊은 층이라고 사료 된다.
