ABSTRACT
Objective:
This study examined the factors affecting the satisfaction of emergency medical services in capital and noncapital areas.
Method:
Descriptive and logistic regression analysis was performed using the data from the 2014 Korea Health Panel Survey.
Results:
Patients who resided in capital areas were likely to be more satisfied than those who resided in non-capital areas. In capital and non-capital areas, post-of-service action was an influential factor. Capital area patients, who were transferred to other hospitals instead of being admitted or returned to their homes, reported less satisfaction. In non-capital areas, delayed emergency room arrival that was self-perceived was also an influential factor. Moreover, patients who were transferred to other hospitals instead of being returned to their homes reported less satisfaction.
Conclusion:
In both capital and non-capital areas, the satisfaction of emergency medical services can be increased by avoiding transferring patients to other hospitals. For Koreans to be satisfied with emergency medical services, efficient and rapid emergency medical services will e needed to avoid delays in emergency room arrivals, particularly in non-capital areas.
Key words: Emergency medical services; Satisfaction; Hospital emergency services
