Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the systematic and convergent education needs according to the use of digital intraoral scanners in dental hygienists. Data of 127 respondents who participated in an online survey for dental hygienists working at dental hospitals and clinics were analyzed by the frequency analysis, t-test, one way ANOVA, and correlation using SPSS 24.0 program. The utilization period of digital intraoral scanners in the hospital was 'less than 1 year' in 78.7%. As for relevant education experience, 58.3% answered 'no', showing a higher proportion of no education experience. As for clinical application of digital intraoral scanners, 77.4% responded that they use the scanner for clinical purposes. With regard to digital intraoral scanner education, 61.4% responded that education is necessary. This result reflects the fact that digital intraoral scanners have been rapidly introduced to dental hospitals and clinics, but systematic education has not been given. Therefore, we hope that this paper will be used as basic data to recognize the need for education on digital intraoral scanners.

본연구의 목적은 치과위생사의 디지털 구강스캐너 사용에 따른 체계적이고 융합적인 교육 요구도를 조사한 것이다. 치과 병 의원의 치과위생사를 대상으로 온라인 설문을 하여 응답한 127명의 수집된 자료를 SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 통해 빈도분석, t-test, one way ANOVA, 상관관계를 사용하여 산출하였다. 병원 내 디지털 구강스캐너 활용기간은 '1년 미만' 78.7%, 관련 교육경험 유무는 '없다'가 58.3%로 높게 나왔으며, 디지털 구강스캐너 임상활용은 77.4%가 사용하고 있다고 응답하였고, 디지털 구강스캐너 교육과 관련하여 61.4%가 교육이 필요하다고 응답하였다. 이러한 결과는 디지털 구강스캐너가 빠르게 치과 병 의원에 도입되고는 있으나, 체계적인 교육은 이루어지지 않고 있다는 것을 반영하고, 이에 본 논문은 디지털 구강스캐너의 교육 필요성이 인지되는 기본 자료로 연구결과가 활용되기를 기대한다.
