Abstract

The purpose of this Study was to examine the effect of perfectionism on stress and anxiety during scaling practice in an effort to find efficient way of helping students with getting good skills. The subjects in this study were students who practiced a scaling at the oral hygiene practice lab in the Department of dental hygiene in S college from May 1 to May 31, 2008. They were divided into four groups based on their subscales of perfectionism : mixed perfectionist group, achievement striving perfectionist group, failure avoidance perfectionist group and non-perfectionist group. The measurements used were Two-Dimensional Perfectionism Scale, Stress level, Trait anxiety, State anxiety. There were no significant differences in the stress level before practice between 4 groups. There were significant differences in trait anxiety, state anxiety, total anxiety before scaling practice between 4 groups. However, these results were due to differences between mixed perfectionist group and non-perfectionist group. After practice, total anxiety was decreased from 93.71 to 89.66 and state anxiety was decreased from 45.49 to 43.38. These results were statistically significant. In order to investigate the influence of achievement striving factor and failure avoidance factor on the change of state anxiety during the scaling practice Standard Multiple Regression were employed for the statistical analysis. Failure avoidance factor was related with the increase of state anxiety during the scaling practice. So leachers have to give all effort to reduce the anxiety of students during scaling practice and provide students with motivation of achievement.

본 연구는 완벽주의가 스케일링 실습 시 실습불안과 스트레스에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보기 위하여 경기도에 소재한 S대학에서 치위생과 치면세마실습 과목을 수강하여 치위생과 실습실에 내원한 환자를 대상으로 스케일링 실습을 한 학생 122명을 대상으로 2008년 5월 1일부터 5월 31일까지 스케일링 실습 전과 실습 후에 설문조사를 실시하였다. 이차원적 완벽주의의 하위요인인 성취추구 요인과 실패회피 요인 점수에 따라 네 가지 유형의 완벽주의 집단으로 구분하고 실습 시 스트레스와 실습 전후의 불안을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 완벽주의 유형에 따라 실습 스트레스에 차이가 있는지를 확인하기 위하여 완벽주의 네 집단을 독립변인으로 하고, 실습 스트레스 점수를 종속변인으로 한 분산분석을 실시한 결과 실습 스트레스는 완벽주의 유형에 따라 통계적으로 유의미한 결과를 확인할 수 없었다. 2. 실습 전 특질불안 점수와 실습 전 상태불안점수, 실습 전 전체불안 검사는 완벽주의 유형에 따라 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 이러한 차이는 성취 추구 요인과 실패회피 요인 모두 낮은 비완벽주의 집단에 비해 성취추구 요인과 실패회피 요인 모두 높은 혼합집단 간 차이로 인해 나타났다. 다시 말해 비완벽주의 집단에 비해 혼합집단이 실습 전에 모든 불안 점수가 더 높았다. 3. 실습 전에 비해 실습 후에 불안 점수가 감소하였는지 검증하기 위하여 상태불안의 실습 전 점수와 실습 후 점수를 이용하여 반복 측정 분산분석(Repeated Measure ANOVA)을 실시하였으며 분석결과 불안의 전체 점수는 93.71 에서 89.66점으로 감소하였으며 하위요인인 상태불안 점수도 45.49에서 43.38점으로 감소하였다. 이는 통계적으로 유의미하였다. 4. 이차원적 완벽주의척도의 하위요인인 성취추구요인과 실패회피요인이 실습 전후 표준화된 상태불안 점수의 차이값에 미치는 영향력을 검증하기 위하여 회귀분석을 실시하여 개별적인 예측변인의 준거변인에 대한 기여도와 통계적 유의미성을 검정한 결과, 실패회피는 상태불안에 정적으로 유의미한 예측변인이었지만, 성취추구는 준거변인에 영양을 주지 않았다. 즉, 실패회피 정도가 높을수록 실습기간 동안 상태불안이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 위와 같은 결과를 볼 때 스케일링 실습 시 실습지도자는 학생들의 완벽주의 성향에 따른 실습불안을 감소시키기 위한 노력이 필요하며 학생들에게 성취추구적 동기를 부여할 수 있는 방안을 모색하는 것이 중요하다고 하겠다.
