Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study is to prepare basic data necessary for the development of services or systems that can enhance the accessibility of health and medical services or enhance the efficiency of health and medical use of senior citizens by identifying factors for predicting health and medical use behavior of senior citizens in Incheon Metropolitan City through the Korea health panel data(version 1.5). Through the structural equation model established through the SPSS and AMOS, it was confirmed that the predisposing factors, health behaviors and needs factors had significant direct and indirect effects on the use of health care services. Since the imbalance in demand and supply of health and medical services is more severe than in other regions, the results of this study can be used as basic data when checking whether the current health and medical system in Incheon Metropolitan City can operate effectively in an aged society and discussing how to provide health and medical services to the elderly in Incheon.
