Abstract

The supply of medical services using high-priced medical equipment is increasing due to the medicalization of medical science. The level of medical knowledge of medical consumers and the ability to select medical institutions are required to provide high quality medical services because of the popularization of medical information. As the attitudes of medical consumers toward medical institutions change, medical institutions also need to change their perception to improve customer satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to analyze the difference of medical service satisfaction according to the medical knowledge about the utility of PET / CT in order to change the consciousness structure of medical service. The results of this study showed that both medical satisfaction and environmental satisfaction were high in those who had medical knowledge about their own illness and the usefulness of PET / CT. Therefore, medical institutions will need a practical medical service countermeasures to provide medical information by noticing the changes in perception of the medical knowledge of medical consumers, rather than providing formal medical services.

의료의 과학화로 인해 고가의료장비를 이용한 의료서비스 공급이 증가하고 있다. 의학 정보의 대중화로 의료소비자들의 의학적 지식수준 및 의료기관 선택능력의 향상으로 높은 수준의 의료서비스가 요구되고 있다. 이처럼 의료소비자들이 의료기관을 대하는 태도가 바뀌면서 의료기관들 역시 고객 만족도 향상을 위한 인식의 변화가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구는 의료서비스의 의식구조 변화를 지향하기 위해 PET/CT의 효용성에 대한 의학적 지식 유무에 따라 의료서비스만족도 차이를 분석하였다. 연구 결과 의료소비자 자신의 질병과 PET/CT의 효용성에 대한 의학적 지식이 있는 사람이 진료만족과 환경만족 모두 높게 나타났다. 따라서, 의료기관에서는 형식적인 의료서비스 제공이 아닌 의료소비자의 의학적 지식에 대한 지각 변화를 파악하여 의학 정보를 제공하는 실질적인 의료서비스 대응책이 필요할 것이다.
