The highest concordance between belief and practice was accessibility(p=0.00) and the highest gap was continuity(p=0.00). Compared with the unsatisfied group, the satisfied group had higher practice level(p=0.00). Significant variables that affect practice level were belief level, opening, satisfaction(r2=0.27, p=0.00). The opinion of whether primary care was settled was mostly negative(95.8%).CONCLUSION:
