OECD ÜLKELERİNİN SAĞLIK GÖSTERGELERİ AÇISINDAN BENZERLİK VE FARKLILIK ANALİZİ

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye temelli olarak seçilmiş sağlık göstergeleri açısından OECD ülkelerinin benzerlik ve farklılık analizini yapmak, ülkeleri sağlık göstergelerine göre alt gruplara ayırmak ve farklılıklara ve benzerliklere neden olan değişkenleri belirlemektir. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Çalışma Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından sağlık sistemi göstergesi olarak gösterilen değişkenler yardımı ile 34 OECD ülkesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Öncelikle sağlık göstergeleri ile tanımlayıcı istatistikler gerçekleştirilmiş daha sonra ise Çok Boyutlu Ölçekleme Analizi yardımı ile ülkeler arasındaki benzerlik ve farklılıklar Statistical Package for the Social Sciences SPSS 20.0 paket programı aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışma sonuçlarına göre Türkiye, Meksika, Şili ve Kore Cumhuriyeti ile sağlık göstergeleri açısından benzer algılanmaktadır ve OECD ülkeleri arasında bir alt grubu oluşturmaktadır. Yunanistan, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, İsviçre, Portekiz, Avusturalya, İspanya ve Japonya OECD ülkeleri içinde sağlık göstergeleri açısından Türkiye’nin en benzemez olduğu ülkelerdir. Sağlık harcamalarındaki bir yıllık büyüme oranı ve neonatal bebek ölüm hızı Türkiye’yi diğer ülkelerden ayıran en önemli sağlık göstergeleri olarak bulunmuştur.Sonuç: Ülkemizin sağlık sisteminin geliştirilmesi ve sağlık çıktılarının iyileşmesi için politika yapıcılara Türkiye ile OECD ülkeleri arasındaki farklılıkları dikkate almaları önerilmektedir
