AB - Purpose: This study seeks to explore through which process active-duty soldiers select a medical institution for their medical treatment. Specifically, this study delves into the ways in which various personal and social factors and their interactions influence the selection process. Methods: Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with 16 enlisted soldiers who had surgical treatment for their musculoskeletal-related diseases during their service. The data were analyzed by following the process of grounded theory. Results: The open coding resulted in 65 concepts, 14 subcategories, and 6 upper categories, which were reconstructed according to the coding paradigm structure for axial coding. The selection process of medical institution for enlisted soldiers was reflected through the following: “the soldiers’ negative interactions with medical institutions and staffs in the early diagnosis stage.” This phenomenon was linked to strengthening the negative perception of enlisted soldiers toward the military medical system, increasing the likelihood of their selection of civilian medical institutions. In this process, the military medical delivery system and the mobilizability of family support influence their selection. Conclusion: Based on these findings, this study offers three suggestions for the military medical policy in South Korea, establishing a reasonable and efficient military medical delivery system, improving the professional communication skills of military medical personnel, and promoting positive images of military medical care.
