Data analysis performed indicateda strong positive correlation between respondents disposition, measured bysubjective norms, and attitude supporting the implementation. Increase inknowledge was also associated with positive attitude towards NHI.

对拟议的国民健康保险实施的认识和看法

马来西亚的公共医疗保健主要由政府补贴提供资金。随着对医疗保健服务的需求和利用的增加，目前的融资体系被视为不再适应。为了维持全民覆盖和公平医疗保健系统的议程，政府目前正在提议实施国民健康保险(NHI)计划。因此，为了确定公众对实施卫生保健的态度，展开了目前的研究。共有471份问卷被方便地分发给马来西亚巴生谷选定的成人受访者。进行的数据分析表明，受访者的倾向(以主观规范衡量)与支持实施的态度之间存在强烈的正相关。知识的增加也与对全民健康保险的积极态度有关。回归分析结果表明，主观规范和知识都有助于预测被调查者的态度。关键词:全民医保;医疗融资;态度
