Purpose: This study examined health behaviors, use of health services, and depression among women who perform daytime and shift work in Korea, as well as factors related to depression. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis using data from the 2018 data of the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Data on women, 1,493 regular daytime workers and 322 shift workers, were analyzed. Results: Women shift workers (χ²=43.97, p<.001), had a lower education level (χ²=45.56, p<.001), and lower personal income (χ²=16.85, p=.030) than their daytime counterparts. A higher proportion of shift workers were unmarried (χ²=37.47, p<.001) and they typically worked fewer than 40 hours per week (χ²=69.94, p<.001). The depression score of shift workers was higher than that of daytime workers (t=2.85, p=.005). A higher proportion of shift workers also drank alcohol (χ²=6.49, p=.032) and smoked (χ²=30.79, p<.001). Over 8% of shift workers typically slept fewer than 5 hours per night (χ²=14.17, p=.024). It was confirmed that depression in women shift workers was affected by age, personal income, marital status, health status, and smoking status, in addition to cancer screening participation, unmet medical care needs, and unmet dental care needs. Conclusion: More attention should be given to the health needs of women working shifts. Health promotion programs specific for women shift workers are needed to improve their physical and mental health, encourage use of medical care services, and improve public health policies and systems.

본 연구는 만 6세부터 18세까지 연령을 대상으로 제5기 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하여, 인구사회경제 특성과 구강건강 수준에 따른 미충족 치과의료 경험의 차이를 분석하고 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인한 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 청소년 3,961명 중 786명 19.84%가 미충족 치과의료를 경험한 것으로 나타났고, 미충족 치과의료 경험 이유로는 학교를 비울 수 없어서와 경제적인 이유가 높게 나타났다. 청소년의 미충족 치과의료 영향 요인을 확인한 결과 6~12세에 비해 높은 연령층에서 상대적으로 높게 나타났고, 소득이 증가할수록 미충족 치과의료 경험을 덜 하는 것으로 나타났다. 주관적 구강건강 인식 수준 좋지 않음에 비해 보통과 좋음의 경우 각각 0.61배, 0.72배 덜 경험하는 것으로 나타났으며, 정기적인 구강검진을 하는 경우 미충족 치과의료를 0.22배 덜 경험하는 경향을 보였다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 청소년의 미충족 치과의료 경험을 줄이기 위해 사회경제적 수준에 따른 치과의료 보장정책이 강화되어야 할 것이며, 학교를 비울 수 없어서가 원인이 된 치과의료 이용의 접근성 장애를 개선하기 위해 중 고등학교 내 구강보건실 설치를 위한 정책적 노력이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

이 연구는 서울시 찾아가는 동주민센터(이하 '찾동') 노인 방문건강관리 서비스를 이용해 본 경험이 있는 노인들을 대상으로, 건강관리 서비스 미충족에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하고, 향후 효과적인 커뮤니티케어 정착을 위한 동 단위 방문건강관리 사업의 방향성을 제시하고자 하는 목적으로 수행하였다. 이를 위해 찾동 2단계('16. 7. 1 ~ '17. 6. 30) 사업에 참여한 17개 자치구 만 65세, 만 70세 노인 중 1,000명을 자치구별 비례할당 및 임의 추출하여 대면 설문조사를 실시하였다. 서비스 미충족 영향요인의 경우, 개인 및 자치구 환경적 요인으로 나누어 다수준 회귀분석을 실시했다. 연구결과 서비스 미충족을 높이는 개인적 요인으로 사회경제적 수준(고소득, 독거 및 노인가구), 건강수준(복합만성질환, 건강문해력, 우울), 찾동 경험(간호사 1회 방문, 적은 서비스 제공시간 및 낮은 이해도), 사회신뢰(낮은 정부신뢰)로 나타났으며, 자치구 요인으로는 사업 시행기간이 짧을수록, 재정자주도가 낮을수록 서비스 미충족 확률이 높았다. 이를 통해, 커뮤니티케어의 효율성 제고를 위한 다음의 제언을 하고자 한다. 첫째, 건강관리 서비스 수혜 대상을 현재의 65세 및 70세 노인 전수 방문에서 중장기적으로 경제적 또는 건강 취약가구로 사업의 초점대상을 좁혀서, 제한된 예산 속에서 서비스의 질을 높이는 방안에 대한 고민이 요구된다. 둘째, 방문 대상 연령을 만 65세에서 만 66세로 전환하고 국민건강보험공단 생애주기별 건강검진사업과 결과를 공유하여, 사업의 효율성이 높이는 것을 고려할 필요가 있다. 서울시 찾동 사업은 시군구를 중심으로 운영되던 국민건강관리를 행정동 단위로 낮추어 국민들이 체감도를 높이고, 지역사회 건강관리의 패러다임을 바꾸었다는 점에서 의미가 크다. 이 연구가 향후 커뮤니티케어의 효과적인 정착을 위한 기초자료 및 정책 대안으로 활용되기를 기대한다.

Objective: This study was conducted to provide basic data for the establishment of effective health policies for the unmet medical experience that may occur among the elderly depending on whether they live in a singleperson household or not. Methodology: This study used data from the 8th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2019-2020) and excluded cases with missing values in variables for the total number of respondent participants of 15,469. Finally, 2,850 subjects aged 65 or older were selected for final analysis. This study examined the relationship between experiences of unmet medical needs, attempting to confirm the relationship between single-person households and unmet medical needs through subgroup analysis considering gender, age, and household income. Results: According to the results, in the case of single-person households, the odds ratio (OR) for unmet medical needs was significantly higher at 1.60 times (95% CI: 1.16-2.21). Upon conducting subgroup analyses for gender, age, and household income quintiles, the OR was significantly higher at 2.24 times (95% CI: 1.14-4.41) for males and 1.48 times (95% CI: 1.02-2.14) for females, statistically significant in both cases. For individuals aged 65-69, the OR was significantly higher at 1.90 times (95% CI: 1.04-3.47), but for those aged 70-74 and over 75, it was not statistically significant. In the case of households with 'low' income, the OR was higher at 1.62 times (95% CI: 1.16-2.26), and for 'middle' income, it was significantly higher at 3.21 times (95% CI: 1.08-9.51). Conclusion: This study confirmed that the experience of unmet medical care is high among men who make up single-person households and low-income seniors. Therefore, this study suggests that policies to expand medical services and support welfare for single-person households should be established to resolve these problems, showing that health policies that take into account individual and regional characteristics are needed to improve medical accessibility for single-person households.

Background: Mental health issues such as stress and depression have been regarded as major social problems in Korea. We investigated the relationship between stress and depression with unmet medical needs (UMN). Methods: Using the nationwide database of 2010 Korea National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (K-NHANES), subjects aged 19 years or above were selected (n=6,055). In the K-NHANES questionnaire, subjects were asked about their UMN experience, severity of stress, and perceived depression lasting at least 2 weeks over the past year. The effects of stress and depression on UMN were analyzed in 4 models established by adding predisposing, enabling and need factors in a step-wise fashion. The risks for UMN were also assessed according to the causes of UMN. Results: Individuals who felt stress 'very often' (odds ratio (OR) 3.28, 95% CI=2.23-4.86) and 'often' (OR 2.53, 95% CI=1.93-3.31) and who experienced depression (OR 1.68, 95% CI=1.35-2.10) reported significantly elevated UMN rates, and these effects were substantial especially for the individuals who had UMN due to economic constraint. Females, lower education level, lower income, unemployed status, and negative perceptions about health status were found to be additional risk factors for UMN. Conclusion: Our results confirmed the risks of stress and depression on UMN. It is strongly advisable to create initiatives to improve mental health, particularly stress and depression, and to fulfill individuals' medical utilization needs.

Objectives : This study was performed to investigate health care system recognition and influential factors using the data from the "2017 Health Care Experience Survey". Methods : Data on 7,000 participants in the Health Care Experience Survey were drawn and statistically examined using a t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. Results : First, the significant factors of health care service satisfaction were education, income, region, chronic diseases, unmet medical needs, satisfaction with doctors and institutions, and the health care system's reliability and importance. Second, the influential factors of willingness to pay additional health insurance premium were age, occupation, income, health status, chronic diseases, unmet medical needs, satisfaction with health care institutions, limit to utilization of medical services, necessity of health care reform, and the health care system's reliability, satisfaction, importance. Conclusions : Since the additional burden for improving the health care has been negative to the socially disadvantaged, there should be efforts to provide stable health care funding for financial stability of the health insurances by considering public opinions and reaching social consensus.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors associated with the self-rated health of married immigrant women in South Korea. Methods: Data, collected in August 2018, were derived from the 2018 National Multicultural Family Survey. Study subjects were 9,230 married immigrant women. Data were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: Of the study subjects, 23.2% rated their health as poor. Results showed that individual factors (age, ethnic affiliation, duration in South Korea, and depressive symptoms); social and community networks (relationship with spouse, parenting efficacy, Korean proficiency, perceived discrimination, social support, and social activities); and living and working conditions (life satisfaction and unmet heath needs) were associated with health. Married immigrant women in their 50s or older, living in Korea for more than 15 years, experiencing depressive symptoms, low life satisfaction, and having unmet health needs were especially at high risk of poor health. Conclusion: More detailed health policy that considers age, length of stay, and country of origin. To prevent the rapidly deteriorating health of married immigrant women after middle age, mental health support should be given priority, and systematic improvement is needed to increase accessibility healthcare services.

Objectives : This study examined the health policy researchers' needs and their accessibility towards health insurance claim datasets according to their academic capacity. Methods : An online questionnaire to capture relevant proxy variables for academic needs, accessibility, and research capacity was constructed based on previous studies. The survey was delivered to active health policy researchers through three major scholarly associations in South Korea. Seven-hundred and one scholars responded while the survey as open for 12 days (starting on December 20th, 2010). Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were carried out. Results : Regardless of the definition for operational needs, the prevalent needs of survey respondents were not met with the current provision of claim data. Greater research capacity was shown to be correlated with increased demand for claim data along with a positive correlation between attempts to obtain claim datasets and research capacity. A greater research capacity, however, was not necessarily correlated with better accessibility to the claim data. Conclusions : The substantial unmet need for claim data among the healthcare policy research community calls for establishing proactive institutions which could systematically prepare and make available public datasets and provide call-in services to facilitate proper handling of data.

There are little program and services that have been developed to address the health and health care needs of vulnerable women. The access for their timely and appropriate health care and health promotion services have been a increasing concern. The purpose of this study was to suggest health promotion program for vulnerable women with collaboration of women's NGOs. At the first part of this study, we reviewed a conceptual framework for identifying vulnerable population, and issues regarding health problems, unmet needs, policies and programs that have been developed to address their need. In second part, we focused on investigating the role, subjects and activities of women's NGOs and their capacity for health promotion program. The last part of this study proposed health promotion programme with integrating above two parts of study. In describing what type of health promotion program available in women's NCOs, eight major programs and services were summarized. 1. Direct health promotion program and collaborating program with other services. 2. Education and training for empowerment of vulnerable women 3. Organizing mutual support system such as self-help group 4. Community supports. Vulnerable women living at home may benefit from linkage to community services as much as women living in facility 5. Organizing collaboration system with program for economic support and job training, social rehabilitation 6. Trainer's training for practitioners in NGOs 7. Technical, informational support from professional groups 8. A national coordinating policies for vulnerable population should be established at the central level. National support for NGOs' health promotion program are needed hi solving unmet needs of vulnerable women.
