본 연구는 2013년 6월 10일부터 8월 15일까지 경남 일부지역 치과의원에 내원한 재진환자 236명을 대상으로 설문조사하였다. 의료서비스 질 만족도와 재이용 의사에 미치는 영향 요인을 조사하여 치과 의료서비스 공급자에게 병원서비스 정책에 필요한 전략적인 시사점을 제시하고, 치과 의료서비스 소비자에게 보다 나은 치과 의료서비스를 제공하여 재이용 의사에 긍정적인 영향을 나타내고자 한다. 치과를 내원하게 되는 동기는 친구나 가족의 소개로 방문했다가 가장 높게 나타났고, 거리의 접근성, 눈에 잘 띄어서, 치과 병 의원의 인지도 순으로 나타났다. 서비스 시스템, 친절도, 의료서비스 만족도, re-call 시스템 효율성, 재이용 시 불편해소는 임플란트 치료과정에서 점수가 가장 높게 나타났고, 향후 재이용 의사는 보철 치료과정에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 주요 변인들간의 상관관계는 서비스 시스템은 재이용 시 불편해소(r=0.440, p<0.001)와 친절도는 의료서비스 만족도(r=0.675, p<0.001), 의료서비스 만족도는 향후 재이용 의사(r=0.387, p<0.001), re-call 시스템 효율성은 향후 재이용 의사(r=0.346, p<0.001)와 가장 높은 정적 상관을 가지고 있었다. 의료서비스 질 만족도에 미치는 영향은 친 절도(p<0.001)와 re-call 시스템 효율성(p<0.05)에서 유의한 수준으로 나타났다. 재이용 의사에 미치는 영향은 재이용 시 불편해소(p<0.05), 서비스 시스템(p<0.05), 친절도(p<0.01), re-call 시스템 효율성(p<0.01)에서 유의한 수준으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해볼 때 내원환자들의 재이용 의사는 환자들의 인적 네트워크가 주요한 요인으로 작용하는 것으로 나타났고, 의료서비스 질 만족도와 향후 재이용 의사에 미치는 영향 요인은 친절도와 re-call 시스템 효율성에 대한 만족도가 높을수록 의료서비스 질 만족도와 향후 재이용 의사가 높게 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 이에 의료서비스 질 만족도 고취와 더불어 재이용 의사를 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 모색하고 끊임없는 관심과 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.

The data were collected from December 1, 2013 to February 28, 2014, and drew the following conclusions. For body posture for medical procedures, at lower levels in their careers, the hygienists' head and back were more bent; at higher levels in their careers, the their shoulders, body and hips were more bent; and at higher levels in their careers, their assistance posture in general was more bent. Hygienists with longer years of experience had more pain in the neck and the arms/elbows. Respondents engaged in medical treatment services were more likely to have pain in their arms/elbows, and those engaged in assisting in medical treatment and consulting and insurance services were more likely to have pain in their necks. It is necessary to recognize the seriousness of musculoskeletal disorders, provide specific education through supplementary training and relevant seminars, and avoid repetitive use of the same muscle or joint through environmental improvement of dental clinics, and personal efforts should be made to maintain good posture.

최근 치과치료를 위해 병원을 방문하는 것뿐만 아니라, 교정치료를 위한 방문이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 교정치료환자와 일반치료환자의 의료서비스 만족도에 미치는 관련 요인을 비교 고찰하기 위하여 2015년 9월 1일부터 9월 30일에 걸쳐 대구 경북지역 소재의 치과 의료기관에 치료 중인 환자 421명을 임의표본 추출하여 비교 분석하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 다변량 분석결과, 교정치료환자와 일반치료환자의 공통된 유의한 관련성이 있는 독립변수는 의료진과 진료비인 것으로 나타났으며, 일반치료환자의 경우 추가로 치과치료 시 공포감이 의료서비스 만족도에 유의한 변수로 나타났다. 따라서 환자에 대한 의료서비스 만족도를 제고하기 위해서는 양질의 의료서비스와 적절한 진료비 제공이 공통적으로 필요하고, 특히 일반치료환자의 경우에는 통증감소를 위한 상담관리와 치과치료 공포감 완화를 포함한 종합적인 맞춤식 서비스 제고 방안이 요구된다.

W.J. Schiefley criticised the profit-seeking attitude of Japanese dentists and denturist(="IPCHISA", in Korean pronunciation) and emphasized on the significance of Oral Health. He did all kind of dental treatments with advanced equipments like X-ray machine, and managed the collective oral health care for missionaries overseas. He trained medical students and assistants of the dentists with the goal of producing Korean dentists, but he failed due to the Dentist law introduced by Japanese colonial administration that interfered with producing Korean dentists. However, O.R. Avison's proposal of the establishment of dental schools stimulated the establishment of Kyungsung dental school, which provided the basis for the Dental department in the Severance Union Medical College becoming special training institution for Korean Dentists.
