초록
본 연구는 진료의 특성상 B형 간염에 노출될 위험성이 매우 높은 치과진료실에서 근무하는 치과위생사와 치위생과 학생의 B형 간염에 대한 지식과 인식에 대한 설문조사를 실시하여 B형 간염에 대한 예방과 감염관리에 대한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 연구를 실시하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 현재 자신의 B형 간염에 대한 HBsAg과 HBsAb 상태 인식은 치과위생사 115명(32.5%)으로 치위생과 학생 57명(15.6%)보다 높게 나타나 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p=.000). 2. B형 간염 예방접종 유무 조사에서 치과위생사는 254명(71.8%), 치위생과 학생은 173명(47.3%)이 받았다고 응답했으며, 치과위생사가 치위생과 학생보다 높게 나타났으며, 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p=.000). 3. B형 간염 예방 접종을 받은 사람 가운데 언제 접종했는지 접종시기를 물은 결과 '5년 이내'라고 응답한 경우는 치과위생사 158명(62.2%), 치위생과 학생 70명(40.5%)으로 치과위생사가 높게 나타나, B형 간염에 대한 인식을 치과위생사가 높게 하고 있었으며, 3회 완전접종 여부는 치과위생사는 130명(51.2%)이, 치위생과 학생은 44명(25.4%)이 받은 것으로 나타나 치과위생사가 높게 나타났다(p=.000). B형 간염 예방접종 후 항체형성여부를 확인했는지를 묻는 질문에 치과위생사는 152명(59.8%)이, 치위생과 학생은 44명(25.4%)이 응답 해 치과위생사가 높게 나타났다(p=.000). 4. B형 간염에 대한 감염 경로를 어느 정도 알고 있는지 확인한 결과 혈액에 의해서(p=.030), 성관계(p=.000), 오염된 주사바늘(p=.003), 양성인 어머니 출산과정(p=.000), 칫솔과 면도기(p=.000), 술잔 돌리기(p=.000)에 의해서 등 항목에서 치과위생사가 치위생과 학생들에 비해 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 5. 치과위생사와 치위생과 학생의 건강 정도에 따른 B형 간염 감염 경로에 대한 지식 차이는 '건강하지 않은 경우' 치과위생사(
The purpose of this study was to survey the knowledge and awareness of dental hygienists and dental hygiene students about hepatitis B in an attempt to lay the solid foundation for the prevention of hepatitis B and infection control, as dental hygienists were highly likely to be exposed to HBV during job performance. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. 32.5% of the dental hygienists and 15.6% of the dental hygiene students were aware of their own HBsAg and HBsAb states. The dental hygienists who were cognizant of the states statistically significantly outnumbered the dental hygiene students who were (p=.000). 2. As for vaccination against hepatitis B, 71.8% of the dental hygienists and 47.3 % of the dental hygiene students were inoculated against it. The dental hygienists who were vaccinated against it outnumbered the dental hygiene students who were, and the disparity between the two was statistically significant (p=.000). 3. In the event of those who were vaccinated against hepatitis B, the dental hygienists were better cognizant than the dental hygiene students of the right time for the vaccination, required vaccination frequency (three times) and confirmation of the formation of hepatitis B antibody (p=.000). 4. Regarding awareness of hepatitis B infection route, the dental hygienists knew significantly better than the dental hygiene students that hepatitis B might be infected via blood (p=.030), sexual relations (p=.000), contaminated needle sticks (p=.000), mothers with hepatitis B positive during delivery (p=.000), toothbrushes/razors (p=.000) and exchange of drinking cups (p=.000). 5. As to the relationship between health status and knowledge on hepatitis B infection route, the respondents who were in bad shape had the best knowledge about that, followed by those in an average state of health and healthy respondents. And the dental hygienists had a significantly better knowledge than the dental hygiene students (p=.001). 6. Just a small number of the dental hygienists and students knew about the hepatitis B-related past experiences of their families, and the gap between the two was insignificant.
