Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the determinants of North Korean refugees’ trust in South Korea health service.
Methods: This study surveyed 168 North Korean refugees aged 19 and over living in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, and Gangwon. The collected data were analyzed by frequency analysis, t-test, analysis of variance, and hierarchical regression analysis to analyze the effect on the trust of refugees.
Results: The difference analysis showed statistically significant difference according to duration of residence and employment status. The determinants of North Korean refugees’ trust in South Korea health services were duration of residence, basic communication skills, health communication skills, and experience of health service.
Conclusion: In order to increase the trust of North Korean defectors in South Korea medical services, it is necessary to resolve communication problems and improve the satisfaction of health services. For this, the interpreter service should be activated. And specific education should be given to the North Korean refugees about the health care system and the utilization methods of health service in Korea.
