본 연구는 치위생과 학생의 자기효능감과 진로태도성숙간의 관련성을 검증하고, 그 세부요인간의 관련성을 분석하고자 부산, 대구지역의 치위생과 학생을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 이중 435명의 자료를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 과제난이도 자기효능감은 진로결정성, 진로독립성, 진로확신성, 진로준비성에 정(+)적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 자기조절 자기효능감은 진로독립성, 진로확신성, 진로준비성, 진로목적성에 정(+)적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 치위생과 학생의 자기효능감에 영향을 미치는 진로태도성숙 주요변인은 진로독립성, 진로준비성, 진로확신성이었고, 총 설명력은 28%였다. 따라서, 성공적인 대학생활을 위해서는 치위생과 학생들의 자기효능감을 증진시키고, 진로태도를 성숙하게 할 수 있는 프로그램의 개발이 필요하다.
