Abstract

This research is to identify the status of the curriculum based on dental hygiene programs, the awareness about medical service technologists, etc. act and job demands of students in the department of dental hygiene. The data was collected by self-reported questionnaires from 536 dental hygiene students. This data was analyzed using SPSS 19.0K program for Windows with a statistical significance level of 0.05. The level of objective awareness of the current Medical Service Technologists Act was higher for females(9.14±1.11) than for males(8.56±1.79)(p=0.043). Meanwhile, there was little difference between college and university(p=0.639), whereas the level dropped as the number of clinical practice experiences went up(p=0.045). Therefore, the law in convergence needs to be revised to reflect the reality of dental hygienists' work, and the dental community needs to change its perception that dental hygienists are not only recognized as assistant workers but also as business partners.

본 연구는 치위생(학)과의 교육과정과 외부 병.의원 임상실습, 그리고 의료기사법(이하 의기법)의 실태를 파악함으로써 임상현실에 맞는 치위생 교육과정을 모색하고, 치과위생사의 실제 임상 업무와 현행 의기법의 차이를 좁힐 수 있는 근거자료를 마련하고자 한다. 자료수집은 자기기입식 설문도구를 이용하였으며, 표본은 536명이었다. 자료분석은 SPSS 19.0K을 이용하였으며, 유의수준은 0.05로 설정하였다. 그 결과 일반적 특성에 따른 현행 의기법 객관적 인지정도는 여자(9.14±1.11)가 남자(8.56±1.79)보다 높았으며(p=0.043), 학제에 따라 인지정도에는 차이가 없었으나(p=0.639), 임상실습의 횟수가 많을수록 의기법에 대한 인지정도가 낮았다(p=0.045). 따라서 치과위생사의 업무 현실을 반영한 융합된 법 개정이 필요하며, 치과계에서도 치과위생사를 보조 인력수준으로만 인식할 것이 아니라 업무동반자라는 인식변환이 필요하다.
