Abstract

In 2013, dental hygienist is in its 100th year. As Dr. Fones opened two year dental hygiene training program at Bridgeport Junior College in 1913. 'Dental Hygienist', the profession that specializes in oral disease prevention and health science, was first used. Since 'Dental Hygienist' was first introduced in the States, looking back through the America's development of dental hygienist would be the basis of checking development process of the international dental hygiene system and comparing the system of each country. This study focused on the contemplation of how America's dental hygienist became professional through 'development of dental hygienist', 'development of dental hygiene education system', 'development of dental hygienist's license and related qualification system', 'Dental hygienist laws and ethics', and 'dental hygienists' role and scope'. America's dental hygienist has requirements to become professional and also dental hygienist is socially recognized as professional. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the process of American dental hygienist professionalization. Thus, references and literature were gathered and analyzed.

2013년, 치과위생사 역사의 100주년을 맞이하였다. 1913년, Dr. Fones가 Bridgeport Junior College에 2년 과정의 치위생교육프로그램을 개설하며, 구강간호가 아닌 구강질환의 예방과 보건학을 전문으로 하는 '치과위생사' 라는 직종명칭을 사용한 것이 그 시초다. 미국에서 최초로 치과위생사 제도를 최초로 도입한 만큼, 미국치과위생사의 발전과정을 되짚어 보는 것은 국제적인 치위생계 발전과정을 확인하고, 각국의 제도를 비교할 수 있는 근간이 될 것이다. 이 연구는 지난 100년간 미국치과위생사가 전문직 역할을 수립해 나가는 과정을 '치과위생사 조직의 발전과정', '치위생학 교육제도의 발전과정', '치과위생사 면허 및 관련 자격제도의 발전과정', '치과위생사 관련 법령과 윤리' 및 '미국치과위생사의 역할 및 업무범위의 발전과정' 요건에 따라 고찰하는 것이다. 미국치과위생사는 전문직 요건을 형성하고 있고 사회적 분위기 역시 전문직으로 인식하고 있다. 이에 미국치과위생사가 오늘날의 모습으로 전문직화해 온 과정과 그 특징을 규명하는 데 연구목적을 두고, 이 목적을 달성하기 위해 요건 별 문헌자료를 수집하고 분석하였다.
