|
Purpose: An aim of this survey study was to investigate opticians' awareness of the health care privatization policy and the permission of corporal optical shops.
Methods: We did a survey for 100 clinical opticians in Seoul by face-to-face questionnaire from June to August 2014. 48 of the correspondents were owners of optical shops and 52 of the correspondents were employed opticians.
Results: The correspondents had high awareness of the health care privatization and the permission of corporal optical shops, and a lot of them had opposite opinions. The opticians reacted as consumers of medical services on the health care privatization, while they reacted as suppliers on the permission of corporal optical shops. On the corporal optical shops, owners of optical shops group had stronger opposition and more negative prospect than employed opticians group.
Conclusions: The opticians group thought the health care privatization were somewhat related to the permission of corporal optical shops, but they took a stance of consumers of medical services, similarly to the general public. Owners group was more opposite and more negative on the corporal optical shops than employed opticians group.
