Abstract
In order to examine the elements affecting dental services utilization according to source of treatment and their relative importance, a survey was carried out regarding utilization patterns with respect to dental treatment by residents in
certain
areas
of Cholla Buk-do Province. The survey was conducted by means of direct interviews and issuance of questionnaires. The sample consisted of 345 adults who had visited 5 dental health care institutions.
The model used in the analysis of dental services utilization was the Andersen model. While the analysis techniques used were stepwise multiple regression and path analysis. The number of independent variables used in the analysis was 19 in
total,
i.e.
14 predisposing components. 2 enabling components, and 3 need components. Dental services utilization, embracing these subordinate variables, was measured based on the number of visits, and the source of treatment used were dental clinics, dental
hospitals, health subcenters and drug stores.
The effects of the elements affecting the incidence of utilization. By source of treatment, were eiassified into direct effects, indirect indirect effects, and total effects; and, based on the analysis of the relative significance of effect, the
following conclusions were drawn:
1. In the case of dental clinics, the variable whose relative significance affecting the incidence of utilization by source of treatment was greatest was seniority with respect to brothers; number of days during which normal activities were
suspended
or restricted due to dental disease, in the case of dental hospital; family type, in the case of health subcenters: and dental treatment costs, in the case of drug stores. In addition, the factors of greatest relative importance affecting the
frequency
of dental services utilization were marital status and degree of periodontal disease, in the case of dental care institutions; and the number of days during which normal activities were suspended or restricted due to dental disease, in the case
of
dental health care institutions, and with respect to total dental utilization.
2. Major factors of relative importance affecting the incidence of utilization according to source of treatment of more or less uniform significance were age of youngest family member, degree of periodontal disease, education level of household
head,
level of dental treatment costs, and the number of days during which normal activities had to be suspended or restricted due to dental problems: and, of these factors, the most influential element was the number of days during which activities
had
to be
suspended or restricted as a result of dental illness.
3. The relative importance of family income with respect to the frequency of dental hospital utilization was greater than for other sources of treatment.
4. The relative importance of the age of the household head with respect to the frequency of utilization of individual sources of treatment was not significant however, its relative importance with respect to total utilization was high.
5. Occupation was assumed to be the element affecting selection of treatment source.
6. The higher the age of the oldest family member, the greater the relative importance of health subcenter and drug store utilization was found to be.
7. The frequency of utilization for each source of treatment by females was high compared with that of males, and the relative importance of the former with respect to utilization of drug stores was assumed to be great.
8. Considering the fact that there is an inseparable relation between medicine and society, further research into dental health behavior, with respect to source of treatment, should be carried out at an active pace.
