Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify factors related to dissatisfaction with the NHI among primary care physicians. Methods: A structured questionnaire was developed through a literature review, a panel discussion, and 5 focus group interviews. In total, 9336 primary care physicians were surveyed. A logistic regression analysis was employed to identify factors related to dissatisfaction with the NHI by primary care physicians. Results: There were 1822 surveys returned, yielding a 19.5% response rate. They showed that 5.7% of respondents were very dissatisfied and 22.3% were dissatisfied with the current medical environment under the NHI. The dissatisfaction of primary care physicians was significantly related to age (OR= 1.029, p<0.05) and dissatisfaction with the following aspects: malpractice claims (OR = 1.744, p < 0.001), complexity of medical claims (OR = 1.454, p < 0.01), excessive work hours (OR = 1.790, p < 0.001), decreased income (OR = 2.812, p<0.001), difficulty in finding nurses (OR = 1.379, p<0.05), and the separation of dispensing medicine from medical practice (OR= 1.389, p < 0.05). Conclusions: These results can provide valuable information to help policy makers identify areas for improvement and intervention in order to reduce levels of dissatisfaction of primary care physicians under the NHI. |
