Abstract:

People’s yearning for a better life is a key indicator of rural revitalization, and the evaluation of farmers’ satisfaction with the new rural cooperative medical system (NRCMS) affects farmers’ satisfaction with the construction of rural revitalization. This paper focused on the influencing factors of farmers’ satisfaction with NRCMS from the perspective of rural revitalization. Eveiws software was used to perform an ordered Logistic regression analysis on the data of 2 152 peasant households nationwide. The results showed that: On the whole, the proportion of farmers’ satisfaction with NRCMS was more than dissatisfaction, 55% were satisfied with NRCMS, 37% had a general attitude towards NRCMS. Age, education level and farmers’ net income had a significant positive effect on the satisfaction of NRCMS, indicating that strengthening policy publicity, enhancing education level and improving people’s income were conducive to improving the satisfaction of NRCMS. The convenience of obtaining medical information through the internet and whether villages have established wechat groups had a significant positive impact on the satisfaction of NRCMS, indicating that the use of the internet strengthened farmers’ access to information and facilitated communication among farmers, thus driving people’s satisfaction with NRCMS. Compared with villages in northeast China, residents in eastern and central China were less satisfied with NRCMS.
