한국 의사의 보건의료체계 및 보건의료정책에 대한 인식과 영향 요인

초록

This study utilized data from the 2020 National Physician Survey, a survey of all physicians in Korea, to identify physicians' perceptions of healthcare policy issues and the healthcare system and to explore factors influencing negative perceptions for the healthcare system and policies. The analysis targeted 5,688 respondents, excluding non-practicing physicians. The percentage of positive to negative perceptions was calculated for two questions on the healthcare system (overall healthcare system, changes in the quality of healthcare services over the past three years) and three questions on health policies (expanding patient experience assessment and linking it to the reimbursement system, awareness of medical fee review, and awareness of the institutionalization of non-face-to-face care). A high percentage of respondents expressed positive perceptions of the healthcare system. Conversely, a high percentage of respondents expressed negative perceptions of healthcare policies. Analysis of factors influencing negative perceptions of the healthcare system and policies revealed that age, occupation, specialty, type of institution, and region of employment were influential factors. Younger physicians and those working in hospitals tended to have more negative opinions about healthcare policies. Considering the influencing factors identified in this study, more in-depth research is needed on this group of physicians with a high proportion of negative perceptions.
