초록

일부 지역 치위생(학)과 3, 4학년 학생 196명을 대상으로 장애인의 전반적인 인식, 장애인 치과학에 대한 교육 여부, 장애인 환자 구강관리 역량 자가평가를 자기기입식 설문지를 이용하여 조사하였다. 그 결과, 대상자의 대부분이 장애인이나 장애인 환자에 대한 긍정적인 인식을 가지고 있었으며 84.7%는 장애인 전문 치과위생사 양성이 필요하고 76.5%는 졸업 후에 장애인 치과진료 관련 세미나에 참가할 의향이 있다고 하였다. 그러나, 전체 대상자의 각 장애인별 업무역량에 대한 자가평가는 보통 수준 미만으로 장애인 치과치료에 대한 업무역량이 충분하지 않다고 생각하고 있었다. 대상자의 71.4%는 교과 및 비교과 교육과정에서 장애인 치과진료를 경험하였으며 경험을 한 대상자가 장애인 환자에 대한 지식, 구강보건교육, 구강병 예방처치, 진료보조, 의사소통의 대부분 영역에서 본인의 역량을 유의한 수준으로 높게 평가하였다. 이론교육이 충분하였다고 응답한 군에서도 충분하지 않았다고 응답한 군에 비해 장애인 환자 관리 역량에 대해 유의하게 높은 수준으로 자가평가를 하였다. 이를 토대로 보았을 때 현재 교육과정상 치위생(학)과 학생들의 장애인 치과치료에 대한 업무역량은 부족한 것으로 보이나 장애인 환자의 구강건강 관리 및 치과진료 보조에 대해 긍정적이며 장애인 환자에 대한 경험과 이론 교육 등이 효과를 나타낸다고 판단된다. 따라서, 교육과정에 장애인 치과학이 포함될 수 있도록 제도적 뒷받침이 필요하고 충분한 이론교육과 실습교육을 병행하여 장애인 환자의 구강건강 향상에 이바지할 수 있는 인력을 양성하도록 해야 한다. 또한, 현장 임상실습 교육 시 장애인 환자를 경험할 수 있는 여건을 마련하고 장애인 전문 치과위생사 양성에 대한 심도 있는 논의도 이루어져야 할 것이다.

The demand for medical care and welfare for patients with disabilities is expanding, and healthcare professionals are also increasingly interested in the need for medical care for patients with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the competency of disabled patients' management and the education experience of dental hygiene students, who are the main players of oral health care for disabled patients. A total of 196 students in the dental hygiene department and 3rd and 4th grade students were surveyed using questionnaires. As a result, most of the students had a positive awareness of disabled patients; 84.7% answered with the need to train dental hygienists in specializing in handicapped patients, 76.5% were willing to attend seminars related to disabled patients after graduation, and 71.4% of the students provided dental treatment for patients with disabilities in curriculum and comparative curriculum. The students who provided treatment for disabled patients showed that their competence in most areas of knowledge of disabled patients, oral health education, and oral disease prevention was highly evaluated as significant. The competence of respondents who answered that the theoretical education was sufficient was significantly higher. Based on this, institutional support for the education of dentistry for disabled patients is needed, and sufficient theoretical education and practical training should be offered to foster personnel capable of contributing to the improvement in the oral health of patients with disabilities. In addition, in-depth discussions on the training of dental hygienists specialized in handicapped patients should be conducted.
