摘要

研究目的 本研究旨在调查前往一家大型城市医院神经科门诊就诊的人员所产生的费用。由于门诊病人在医院人口中占很大比例,我们希望了解不同乘客的就医体验。方法 我们进行了一项观察性研究,收集了莫纳什医疗中心神经病学门诊就诊者的详细人口信息和出行信息。我们随机抽取了 165 名参与者,并对他们进行了当面访谈。数据通过匿名问卷收集。该研究获得了莫纳什健康人类伦理研究委员会的批准。结果 155 份答复被纳入分析。患者前往莫纳什医疗中心的平均费用为 16.64 澳元。驾驶者平均花费16.70澳元,乘坐公共交通工具的患者平均花费9.64澳元,总花费最高为120.00澳元。对于驾车前往医院的患者而言,停车费占其交通费用的 60%。到莫纳什医疗中心的平均距离为 20.82 公里,最远为 190.88 公里。距离医院的距离与较高的交通费用相关(p<0.001,斯皮尔曼等级相关系数=0.48)。医院距离与社会经济地位之间也存在反向关系(p<0.001,Spearman秩相关系数=-0.26)。结论 去医院看病可能是一项成本高昂的工作。开车是最常用的交通方式,但其中很大一部分费用是医院停车费。应在其他三级医疗中心进行更多的样本研究。如有合理要求,可提供数据。可应要求提供调查数据。

Estimating the cost of visiting hospital outpatient
Objectives This study aims to investigate the cost incurred by people travelling to the neurology outpatient clinic of a large metropolitan hospital. As outpatients are a substantial portion of a hospital’s demographic, we aimed to understand the patient experience of various commuters. Methods We conducted an observational study collecting demographic details and travel information for how people attended the neurology clinic of Monash Medical Centre. Statistical analysis was performed using R. 165 participants were randomly selected and interviewed in-person. Data were collected via an anonymous questionnaire. The study was approved by the Monash Health Human Ethics Research Committee. Results 155 responses were included in the analysis. Patients paid an average of $A16.64 to travel to Monash Medical Centre. Drivers paid on average $A16.70 and those taking public transport paid on average $A9.64, with the maximum cost overall being $A120.00. For patients driving to hospital, parking accounted for 60% of their travel costs. The average to Monash Medical centre was 20.82 km with the maximum being 190.88 km. Distance from hospital was correlated with a higher cost of travel (p<0.001, Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient=0.48). There was also an inverse association between distance from hospital and socioeconomic status (p<0.001, Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient=−0.26). Conclusion Travelling to hospital can be a costly endeavour. Driving is the most popular form of transport, but a large portion of the cost involved is hospital parking. Further research should be conducted at other tertiary centres with larger samples. Data are available on reasonable request. Survey data can be provided on request.
