Abstract

Objectives : This study tries to find the educational basis based on the radiation safety knowledge, attitudes and behaviors to check the level of radiation safety behavior in domestic students who study dental hygiene. Methods : The students of 3rd and 4th grades in 83 universities which have registered on the Korean University Education Council were involved, and they were given a questionnaire for this study. The questionnaire was provided via visit with 20 copies to each university (total 1660 copies), mail by post and e-mail. Among them, we analyzed only 723 copies that we can trust. The data were analyzed with frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and Pearson's correlation using the SPSS/WIN 15.0. Results : As a result, there are correlations in the students' knowledge, attitudes and behaviors regarding the radiation safety management. It means that the education which can improve the knowledge and attitudes should be applied to increase the action level of the radiation safety. In addition, the physical environment is the most closely correlated with the individual behavior, so it will be limited to improve the behavioral levels of the radiation safety if the physical environment is not prepared. Therefore, the physical environment should be supported to enhance the level of the radiation safety activity, and to increase the individual attitude level of radiation safety. Conclusions : The knowledge level of the radiation safety management is relatively lower than the attitudes level, and the behavior level is the lowest. Therefore, the education policy of the safety behavior must be enhanced. For domestic students, the educational intervention is necessary to improve their behavioral level of radiation safety management because they will be able to reduce the amount of radiation exposure of their patients in dental care after getting a job.

목적: 국내 치위생학을 전공하는 학생들의 방사선 안전행위 수준 확인을 위해 방사선 안전관리 지식, 태도, 행위 수준을 분석하여 교육학적 근거를 도출하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 한국대학교육협의회 대학정보공시센터(대학알리미)에 등록된 전국 83개교 치위생(학)과에 재학중인 3,4학년을 대상으로 하였으며 연구도구는 설문지이다. 설문조사는 대학별 각 20부(총 1,660부)를 방문, 우편, e-mail의 방법으로 배포하여 수거된 응답지 중 신뢰도를 확보하고 있는 총 723부를 SPSS/WIN 15.0를 사용하여 빈도, 백분율, 평균과 표준편차, Pearson's correlation으로 분석하였다. 결과: 방사선 안전관리에 대한 치위생(학)과의 지식, 태도, 행위는 모두 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 방사선 안전관리에 대한 행위수준을 높이기 위해서는 지식, 태도 수준을 높일 수 있는 교육이 적용되어야 한다. 또한 개인의 행위에 가장 상관성이 높은 변수는 물리적 환경에 대한 변수로, 이는 물리적 환경이 갖추어져 있지 않으면 방사선 안전행위 수준을 높이는데 한계가 있음을 의미한다. 따라서 치위생(학)과의 방사선 안전행위 수준을 높이기 위해 물리적 환경을 보완해야 하며 개인의 방사선 안전관리 태도 수준 또한 물리적 환경에 대한 태도 변수와 가장 상관성이 높으므로 방사선 안전관리에 대한 개인의 태도 수준을 높이기 위해 물리적 환경에 대한 변수를 보완해야 한다. 결론: 방사선 안전관리에 대한 태도보다 지식이 상대적으로 낮고, 행위 수준이 가장 낮으므로 안전 행위에 대한 강화된 교육정책이 도입되어야 할 것이며 국내의 경우 치위생(학)과를 졸업한 치위생사들이 치과병원에서 전국민의 구강 방사선 촬영 시 방사선 피폭을 감소시킬 수 있는 주체이므로 현재의 교육 시스템에서 방사선 안전관리 행위 수준을 향상시킬 교육적 개입이 필요하다.
