Abstract

The purpose of current study was to identify relations between pregnancy-childbirth infrastructures and intention to childbirth and relocation. We conducted a logistic regression analysis to determine the influence of the pregnancy and childbirth infrastructure level over the people's intentions to have any additional pregnancy and to relocate to other city. The results have showed that the younger the age and the higher the income is, the stronger the intention to have an additional pregnancy becomes, and that of the pregnancy and childbirth infrastructure, only the level of pediatrics service would affect the intention to have another pregnancy. As for the intention to relocate or move to another locations, the results have shown that such intention tends to decline where there are overall sufficient and good pregnancy and childbirth infrastructure in place.

본 연구의 목적은 임신·출산 인프라 수준이 가구의 추가 출산 여부와 이주의사에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보는 것이었다. 24개월 이하 영아 자녀가 있는 산모 608명을 대상으로 조사를 실시하였다. 임신·출산관련 인프라가 추가 출산 및 거주지 이전 의사에 미치는 효과를 분석하기 위해 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 소아청소년과 수준이 높은 지역에 거주하는 산모가 추가적으로 출산하려는 의사가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 타지역으로 이주려하려고 하는 의사는 임신·출산 인프라 전반적 수준이 높은 곳에 거주하는 산모가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과 지역내 출산율을 높이고 자녀가 있는 가구의 정주율을 높이기 위해서는 소아청소년과를 비롯한 임신·출산 인프라가 설치뿐만 아니라 질적 수준제고도 동반되어야 한다는 것을 보여주는 결과 이다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 임신·출산 인프라에 대한 정책적인 방안을 제시하였다.
