Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze dental laboratory's self health recognition level and health behavior level and to examine its correlation. 250 dental technicians in Seoul, Incheon, and Jeonbuk area were selected. Survey was carried out from October 11, 2010 to November 25, 2010 by using self-administered questionnaire. The following are the analytical results in the collected data. The average in the self- health recognition was indicated to be high with 2.83, The average of health behavior was indicated to be high with 2.76. As for correlation between self health recognition and health behavior, most of variables were indicated to have reverse correlation, it was concluded that higher health behavior likely led to lower self health recognition. From the result of this study, the work environment of dental technician must be improved and do more Practice of Health Behavior to improve and maintain their health.

본 연구는 치과기공사의 자각증상과 건강행위 실천도를 분석하고 그 상관관계를 알아보기 위해 서울시, 인천시, 전북지역의 치과기공사 250명을 선정하고 자기 기입식 설문지를 이용하여 2010년 10월 11일부터 11월 25일까지 조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료의 분석결과, 자각증상 전체 평균은 2.83으로 비교적 높게 나타났으며, 건강행위 실천의 영역별 전체 평균은 2.76으로 나타났다. 자각증상과 건강행위 실천의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 대부분의 변수가 유의한 수준의 역 상관관계로 나타나 작업 시 건강행위 실천도가 높을수록 신체적 자각증상은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과, 치과기공사의 작업장 환경 개선과 건강행위를 실천하여 건강을 유지하기 위한 노력이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
