Abstract

The purpose of this study was to understand the dental hygienist's perception of dental materials and to understand the safety status of harmful chemicals. The study was conducted from January to February 2015 for 250 dental hygienists working in Gwangju Metropolitan City. as a result, the degree of recognition of MSDS for dental materials was higher with age (P <0.05) and higher in dental hygienist (P <0.001) working at dental hospital. (P <0.001), and the factors affecting the perception of first aid treatment were positively correlated with experience of hazard education (P <0.001). Therefore, by understanding the MSDS awareness of dental materials by dental hygienists and the safety situation in the handling of hazardous chemical substances, we provide basic data for establishing proper recognition of safety in the handling of harmful chemical substances and developing educational programs to prevent accidents.

본 연구는 치과위생사들의 치과재료에 대한 물질안전보건자료(Material Safety Data Sheet, MSDS)의 인식도와 유해화학물질 취급 시 안전 실태에 대해 파악하고자 실시하였다. 연구는 광주광역시에 근무 중인 치과위생사 250명을 대상으로 2015년 1월부터 2월까지 조사하였고, 235명의 자료를 최종분석 대상으로 하였다. 그 결과 치과재료에 대한 MSDS 인지 정도는 연령이 높을수록 인지도가 높게 나왔으며(p<0.05), 치과병원에 근무하는 치과위생사(p<0.001)에서 유의하게 높았다. 치과재료의 유해화학물질위해성에 대한 인식도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 MSDS인식도(p<0.001)이었고, 유해화학물질 노출 시 응급처치에 대한 인식도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 유해위험성 교육을 받은 경험(p<0.001)으로 나타났다. 따라서 치과위생사들의 치과재료에 대한 MSDS 인식도와 유해화학물질 취급 시 안전 실태에 대해 파악함으로써 유해화학물질 취급 시 안전에 대한 올바른 인식 확립과 이로 인한 사고를 예방하기 위한 교육 프로그램 개발에 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.
