초록

본 연구는 고등학생을 대상으로 치과위생사에 대한 이미지와 치위생직 고려의사를 파악하기 위해 광주지역의 인문계 고등학교에 재학 중인 학생 199명을 대상으로 설문조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 치과위생사에 대한 이미지는 전체평균 3.36점이었고, 영역별 평균은 개인적 이미지가 3.64점, 직업적 이미지가 3.47점, 업무적 이미지가 3.42점, 사회적 이미지가 2.83점 순이었다. 고등학생의 일반적인 특성과 치과위생사의 이미지를 분석한 결과, 가족 중 치과종사자가 있고, 치과 치료경험이 1년 미만일 경우, 치위생직에 대한 소개나 설명을 들은 경우, 진료 장소가 종합(대학)병원일 경우 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.01, p<0.05). 진로선택 시 치위생직을 고려하겠다고 응답한 경우가 9.0%로 대부분이 고려하지 않겠다고 응답하였으며, 치위생직을 고려하겠다고 응답한 경우 업무적, 사회적 이미지가 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 치과위생사 이미지의 요인 간의 상관관계에서 직업적 이미지와 업무적 이미지(r=0.551, p<0.001), 개인적 이미지와 직업적 이미지(r=0.526, p<0.001), 사회적 이미지와 직업적 이미지(r=0.222, p<0.01), 업무적 이미지와 개인적 이미지(r=0.655, p<0.001), 업무적 이미지와 사회적 이미지(r=0.140, p<0.05)는 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 이상의 결과는 고등학생의 치과위생사에 대한 이미지는 다소 긍정적이었으나, 사회적 이미지가 낮은 편이었으며, 대부분의 학생이 치위생직을 고려하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 치과위생사에 대한 적극적인 홍보와 소개로 치과위생사에 대해 긍정적으로 인식할 수 있도록 하는 구체적인 방안이 필요하다고 생각된다.

The aim of this study was to examine the image for dental hygienists and career consideration in academic high school students. A self-reported questionnaire was surveyed by 199 high school students in Gwangju. The questionnaire composed subject's general characteristics, image for dental hygienists, career consideration. The data were analyzed for independent t-test or Mann-Whitney test, one-way ANOVA or Kruskal wallis test and pearson's correlation coefficient by using IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 21.0 program. The average of total image was 3.36, personal images were 3.64, occupational images were 3.47, business images were 3.42, social images were 2.83 in the five-point scale. The image of dental hygienists was higher significantly in case of having a dental practitioner in the family, treatment experience less than 1 year, and treatment in dental hospital. The participants who considered to be dental hygienist were higher significantly in occupational and social images. There were positive correlations among the personal, occupational, business, social images of dental hygienists. These results showed that general images for dental hygienists were slightly positive but among them, social image was the lowest level. It showed that most students didn't consider to be dental hygienist. Therefore, we suggested to enhance positive recognition for dental hygienists be needed.
