Abstract

This study aimed to provide the basic data necessary for lowering the academic and job stress and turnover rate of male dental hygienists in the future, by understanding the academic and job stress factors of male dental hygienists. As the research method, this study conducted the one-to-one interview with five male dental hygienists with career experiences for 1-5 years at dental hospital and dental clinic, and the interview took about an hour. In the results of this study, the main academic stress factors were interpersonal relationship and too much assignment while the main job stress factors were communication problems with female staffs and director, and anxiety about the future. They relieved their stress through meeting with friends, relaxation, and hobbies. Based on such results of this study, it would be necessary to suggest the measures for improving the interpersonal relationship in academic life of male dental hygienists, providing information about employment, and also finding the future-oriented goals and confidence in the profession as a male dental hygienist.

본 연구는 남자 치과위생사의 학업 및 직무관련 스트레스 요인을 파악하고 향후 남자 치과위생사 학업 및 직무스트레스와 이직률을 낮추는데 필요한 기초자료로 제공 하고자 하였다. 연구방법은 치과병원 및 치과의원에 근무하는 경력 1년 이상 5년 이하인 남자 치과위생사 5명을 대상으로 일대일 인터뷰를 실시하였으며 인터뷰는 1시간 정도 소요되었다. 연구결과 학업에서 주된 스트레스의 요인으로는 대인관계 및 많은 과제량으로 응답하였으며, 직무에서 주된 스트레스의 요인으로는 여성직원 및 상사와의 소통 문제, 미래에 대한 불안감으로 응답하였다. 스트레스 해소는 친구와의 만남, 휴식, 취미생활로 해소하고 있었다. 본 연구결과를 통하여 볼 때, 남자치과위생사의 학업생활에서 대인관계 개선, 취업 정보에 대한 정보제공, 남자치과위생사로서 직업에 대한 확신과 미래지향적인 목표를 찾을 수 있는 방안을 제시할 필요성이 있을 것으로 사료된다.
