지역주민의 신체활동 수준에 따른 직접 의료비 지출의 차이

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구의 목적은 지역 주민들의 신체활동 수준이 직접 의료비 지출에 미치는 영향을 분석 하는데 있다. 연구 대상자 는 경상북도에 있는 G시의 청소년 수련원, 노인 복지회관, 문화회관, 그리고 체육센터 이용자들을 모집단으로 설정한 후, 각각의 시설별로 이용자들을 250명씩 할당표집 하여 총 773부의 설문지들을 수집 하였으며, 이들 중에서 불충분한 내용의 57부를 제외한 총 716부를 최종분석 하였다. 연구도구는 인구사회학적 요인, 신체활동 수준, 개인의 직접 의료비 지출 항목으 로 구성된 설문지를 이용하였다. 연구 결과, 신체활동 수준이 매우 높은 집단은 한 달에 7,500원을, 신체활동이 높은 수준의 집단은 26,299원을, 신체활동 수준이 보통인 집단은 47,517원을, 신체활동 수준이 낮은 집단은 9,314원을, 그리고 신체활동 수준이 매우 낮은 집단은 9,997원을 직접 의료비로 지출한 것으로 나타났다. 지역주민들의 신체활동 수준에 따른 직접 의료 비용 지출 차이를 분석한 결과, 외래진료에 대한 지불 비용에는 유의미한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는, 신체 활동 수준이 높다고 하여도 개인이 지불하는 직접 의료비용은 감소되지 않음을 나타내고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in the direct medical expenditure of community residents according to their physical activity level. The quota sampling method was used to select samples from a youth community center, senior center, community cultural center, and community recreational sports center in G city in Gyeongbuk-do. Of the 773 questionnaires distributed, 716 were completed. The questionnaires consisted of the demographic characteristics, regular exercise and physical activity levels, health status and medical costs. While the beneficial effect of regular exercise and physical activity on dental costs was not (significant), its effect on the costs of visiting hospital services was (significant). The mean differences in the total monthly direct medical expenditures on outpatient services and medicine for those with very high, high, moderate, low, and very low levels of physical activity were 7,500, 26,299, 47,517, 9,314, and 9,9978 won, respectively. The result of this study supported the findings of previous studies that regular exercise and physical activity. are not associated with the reduction of medical expenditure.
