This study aims to investigate the economic hardships of dentists from the rapid reduction of incomes after the IMF crisis in Korea 1998, the retirement plan status of those dentists, and to provide the basic data to determine an economic retirement plan of dentists.
Among the 14,359 dentists in Korea, 855 dentists were surveyed. The surveys were from February 22, 2010 to April 22, 2010, and were carried out with 484 copies that were selected to be used for analysis. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS statistics program 15.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
The dentist group with a net monthly income of '2-2.5 million [corrected] won' showed the highest retirement planning (P < 0.001). The preparation period for an economic retirement was about 10 years (P < 0.001). Single and married dentists both showed 'private insurance' as the highest economic retirement plan (P < 0.05).
A more systematic retirement plan for Korean dentists is required and the government needs to implement a training program for professional retirement planning.
本研究旨在探讨韩国 1998 年 IMF 危机后牙医收入迅速减少所带来的经济困难、这些牙医的退休计划状况，并为确定牙医的经济退休计划提供基本数据。
在韩国的 14359 名牙医中，对 855 名牙医进行了调查。调查于 2010 年 2 月 22 日至 4 月 22 日进行，选取了 484 份用于分析。使用 SPSS 统计程序 15.0（SPSS Inc.，芝加哥，IL，美国）对收集到的数据进行分析。
净月收入为“2-2.5 百万韩元”的牙医群体表现出最高的退休计划（P<0.001）。经济退休的准备期约为 10 年（P<0.001）。单身和已婚牙医都将“私人保险”作为最高的经济退休计划（P<0.05）。
需要为韩国牙医制定更系统的退休计划，政府需要实施专业退休规划培训计划。
