Abstract

This study is to examine the infection management cognition and to practice of dental hygienists about their general characteristics, type of workplace. 354 dental hygienists in Daegu and Kyungbuk cities. The questionnaire survey was performed from April to May, 2015. These showed that factors of dental infection management according to workplace depended existence and nonexistence that chief of station and program of infection management, education of infection control(p<.001). Also cognition of dental infection control according to workplace drawed the protection individual(p<.05), asepsis procedure(p<.01), control of dental equipment(p<.001), control of infectious waste(p<.01) and laundry(p<.001), to practice of dental infection control according to workplace drawed the protection individual and asepsis procedure(p<.001), methods of disinfected and sterilized(p<.05), control of dental equipment and laundry(p<.001), control of infectious waste(p<.05). As above results, in order to minimize the infection prevention in the dental clinic, the regular infection control education for infection control of dental hygienists required, infection control guidelines place at the dental office.

본 연구는 대구 및 경북의 치과위생사들을 대상으로 치과 감염관리의 인식과 실천도를 조사하였으며, 이전의 연구를 참조하여 수정 및 보완 후 설문 조사하였다. 근무지 유형에 따라 치과의원보다는 치과병원에서, 치과 감염관리 담당자 및 감염관리 교육의 프로그램의 여부에 따라 다르게 나타남이 나타났다. 또한 치과 감염관리의 인지도와 실천도는 근무지 유형에 따라 개인방어, 무균술식법, 방사선 장비를 포함한 치과 장비, 감염성 폐기물과 세탁물 관리에서 유의하게 차이를 보였으며, 즉 치과 의원보다 치과병원이 감염관리 인지도 및 실천도가 높았다. 따라서 치과병원에서 감염 예방을 최소화하기 위해, 감염관리 및 감염관리의 정규 교육 및 가이드라인이 필요하며, 치과의 특성을 반영하는 지표 및 프로그램 개발 등이 빨리 도입 되어야 하며, 향후 치과의원(의원급 소형병원)에서의 감염 방지 및 평가 프로그램에 대한 연구 및 정부의 제도도 필요하다.
