摘要


生產方式差異對產婦及新生兒健康和醫療利用的影響,已經引起各界對剖腹產盛行情況之重視。由於剖腹產之利弊迭有爭議,使生產方式與生產期間醫療利用之相關著作甚多,但婦女產後醫療利用之研究卻較為缺乏。若以回溯性觀點分析婦女產後醫療利用,評估生產方式及其他因素對婦女健康之影響,不僅能探討產後照護醫療資源之耗用情形及流向,且能更加了解生產方式及婦女健康之關係,因此婦女產後醫療利用應予深入研究。 本研究旨在探討台灣地區健康產婦於產後六個月內門診及再住院醫療利用與醫療費用之影響因素,使用2003年全民健保資料庫進行橫斷面分析,樣本共49086人。本研究利用Grossman (1972)健康需求理論,建構產婦健康需求模型並探討婦女產後醫療利用行為,研究方法採用負二項迴歸及邏輯斯迴歸分析產後醫療利用情形,並以普通最小平方法及分量迴歸模型分析產後醫療費用。 實證結果發現,生產方式對婦女平均產後醫療利用情形和平均醫療費用具有影響力,但卻不會使健康最為惡化婦女之產後醫療費用有所不同,因此抑制健康產婦自行要求剖腹產之政策,無法有效改善產後醫療支出與婦女產後健康。此外,研究發現健康產婦產後六個月之就醫利用情形受到產婦年齡、教育程度、新生兒胎次、生產醫療院所之所在地等因素影響,因此建議政策宜予鼓勵婦女適齡生育,加強衛生教育,平衡地區間醫療資源使用,以維護婦女產後健康並降低產後醫療支出。

Due to the longtime debate on pro and con of cesarean section, a retrospective research in postpartum utilization of medical care is of paramount value. The purpose of this study is to explore the influential factors of postpartum maternal medical care within six months. Data used in this study is selected from 2003 NHIRD (National Health Insurance Research Data) in Taiwan, which includes 49,086 samples. We estimate the frequency of postpartum outpatients’ visits by using negative binomial regression, as well as the likelihood of revisiting outpatients and rehospitalization by using logistic regression model. Postpartum medical expenditure, in turn, is analyzed by using ordinary least square regression and quantile regression. The results indicate that elective cesarean section slightly increased the postpartum medical expense in average but has insignificant effect on those women with the highest medical expenditure, thereby the restriction policy on elective cesarean section would contribute little to diminish the overall postpartum medical expense. We also find postpartum medical utilization is affected by mother’s age, education, and the parity of newborn babies as well as the geographic location of birth. Hence, in order to improve maternal health condition and reduce the medical expense during postpartum period, the authority should take actions to enhance the accessibility of the obstetrics and gynecologic medical services, to promote delivery within 25-34 maternal age, and to facilitate correct postpartum nursing knowledge.
