Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the utilization of public health centers, as well as the individual characteristics and regional characteristics that affect their utilization based on data from the 2016 Community Health Survey, National Statistical Portal, and National Institute of Environmental Research. Independent samples t-tests, variance analysis, and multiple logistic regression analysis were used for analysis. Hierarchical multiple regression was used to analyze individual and regional characteristics. The results of hierarchical multiple regressions revealed that aged regions, women, older age individuals, respondents with lower education level and income level, walking practitioners, nutrition label readers, individuals experiencing depression, those who have received health checkups, those who are not covered by essential care, those who have spouses, and basic livelihood beneficiaries have increased use of public health centers. However, the use of public health centers decreased in stressors, and regions in which the population per 1,000, number of health care workers, health and welfare budget, fiscal independence, and unemployment rate were above the national average. As above, the central government and local governments need to analyze not only individual characteristics such as health behavior and psychological factors, but also regional characteristics, when establishing local health care policy.

본 연구는 전국 보건기관 이용률과 보건기관 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인 중 개인특성과 지역특성변수를 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 자료는 개인특성변수 선정을 위해 2016 지역사회건강조사자료를 이용하였고, 지역특성변수는 국가통계포털과 한국환경공단의 대기환경 연보 자료를 이용하였다. 자료 분석은 독립표본 t-test, 분산분석, 다중로지스틱회귀분석을 이용하였고 보건기관 이용률에 대한 개인특성변수와 지역특성변수를 함께 분석하기 위해 다수준회귀분석을 이용하였다. 연구결과, 전체 보건기관 이용률은 25.54%이고 군, 시, 대도시 순으로 나타났다. 다수준회귀분석 결과, 고령지역, 여자, 높은 연령, 낮은 교육수준과 낮은 소득수준, 걷기 실천자, 영양표시 독해자, 우울감 경험자, 고혈압 진단을 받은 자, 건강검진을 받은 자, 필수 의료서비스 미충족자, 배우자가 있는 자, 기초생활수급권자에서 보건소 이용률이 증가하였다. 반면, 스트레스 인지자, 인구 천명당 보건의료인 수가 전국 평균이상이고 보건복지예산 비중과 재정자주도, 그리고 실업율이 평균 이상으로 높은 지역에서 보건소 이용이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 중앙정부와 지자체는 지역보건의료정책 수립시 지역주민의 건강행태와 정신심리적 변수 등 개인특성 뿐 아니라 지역특성 변수들을 포괄적으로 분석하고 동시에 고려하는 것이 필요함을 시사한다.
