Abstract

This study was carried out in order to offer medical service in good quality by enhancing dental hygienists' job satisfaction and to arrange basic data necessary for individual development and health promotion in dental hygienists through grasping the job stress level and job satisfaction of being experienced by dental hygienists, and the correlation. The self-administered questionnaire was surveyed and collected from August 1-12 of 2011 targeting 210 dental hygienists of general hospitals, dental hospitals, and dental clinics nationwide(Seoul, Gyeonggi, Daegu, Pohang).The analysis was made on 205 people. The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS WIN 15.0 program. As a result, out of job stress, the average was indicated to be the highest with 2.71 in 'job demand.' As a result of examining about sphere-based relationship between health perception level and job stress related to building in dental hygienists, the central nervous system manifestation showed statistically significant positive correlation with physical environment(r=.281, p<.001), job demand(r=.281, p<.001), relational conflict(r=.163, p<.05), organizational system(r=.166, p<.05), compensation inappropriateness(r=.267, p<.001), and job stress(r=.311, p<.001). Overall, the building-related health perception level showed statistically significant correlation with physical environment(r=.259, p<.001), job demand(r=.311, p<.001), relational conflict(r=.172, p<.05), organizational system(r=.158, p<.05), compensation inappropriateness(r=.197, p<.01), and job stress(r=.275, p<.001). They need to improve their quality of life and life and mental health by developing proper air conditioning system and using one in their work place. if so, they could contribute to better quality of oral cavity service for everyone.

본 연구는 치과위생사가 경험하는 직무 스트레스 정도와 직무만족도 및 상관관계를 파악 하여 치과위생사 직무만족도를 높여 양질의 의료서비스를 제공하고, 치과위생사 개인의 발전과 건강 증진에 필요한 기초자료를 마련하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 2011년 8월 1일부터 12일까지 전국(서울, 경기, 대구, 포항)의 종합병원, 치과병원, 치과의원의 치과위생사 210명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문지 조사를 시행한 후 205명에 대해서 분석 하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 15.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 직무스트레스 중에는 평균이 '직무요구'가 2.71로 가장 높게 나타났다. 치과위생사의 빌딩관련 건강자각도와 직무스트레스의 영역별 관계에 대해 살펴본 결과는 중추신경계 증상은 물리환경(r=.281, p<.001)과 직무요구(r=.281, p<.001), 관계갈등(r=.163, p<.05), 조직체계(r=.166, p<.05), 보상 부적절(r=.267, p<.001), 그리고 직무스트레스(r=.311, p<.001)와 통계적으로 유의미한 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 전체적으로 빌딩관련 건강자각도는 물리환경(r=.259, p<.001)과 직무요구(r=.311, p<.001), 관계갈등(r=.172, p<.05), 조직체계(r=.158, p<.05), 보상 부적절(r=.197, p<.01), 그리고 직무스트레스(r=.275, p<.001)와 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 치과위생사에 대한 근무환경 중 실내공기오염저감 및 스트레스를 예방할 수 있는 근무환경 개선의 기초자료로 활용함으로써 치과위생사의 정신건강 및 삶의 질 향상으로 양질의 의료서비스 제공에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
