Abstract:
Objective To investigate the medical care conducts of community residents of Dongying and analyze the main problem in order to provide the evidence for optimizing the community health service model.Methods Stratified cluster sampling method was used,and 330 community residents in 4 communities were investigated with questionnaire about the medical care conducts.Results Among 330 residents,63% of them did not attend medical clinics after getting minor illnesses,only 12.7% of them chose to check up in large hospitals,and 14.2% went to the community services.However,there were 10.1% of the population attended private clinics.These medical care conducts were significantly related to gender,age,education level,and the payment patterns (x2 =51.0,106.5,16.3,31.8;P <0.05).Health condition has no effect on the residents' medical care conducts (x2 =11.3;P > 0.05 ). Residents with different ages had significantly different influencing factors of choosing medical institution,and different their satisfaction on community service center ( x2 =15.7,44.7 ;P < 0.01 ).Conclusions It should be encouraged to integrate the medical resources in order to establish the effective community services.The charge standards of medical procedures should be restricted by authority policies,and the residents should be guided to attend clinics in an appropriate way with reasonable payment.
