Abstract

This study was conducted on 236 dental hygienists to find ways to improve patient education by identifying their concern in preventive care, their level of prevention management knowledge, and their impact on patient education by mediating their prevention-related knowledge. It was found that the prevention care concern, prevention knowledge and patient education of dental hygienists have a significant correlation, the higher the prevention care concern, the better the patient education, the better the prevention care knowledge, the better the prevention management knowledge, the better the patient education. The regression analysis and Sobel verification were conducted in order to identify a mediating effect of the preventive care knowledge on the influence that the level of concern on preventive dental care affects the patient education. Therefore, it was confirmed that the level of concern on preventive dental care has not only a direct effect and an indirect effect. Based on the results of this study, it is believed that the preventive education effect of patients will be even higher if institutional support is supported along with the attention of dental hygienists on preventive work and education for preventive knowledge content.

본 연구는 치과위생사의 236명을 대상으로 예방진료 관심도와 예방관리지식 환자교육 정도를 알아보고 예방관련지식을 매개하여 환자교육에 미치는 영향을 파악함으로써 환자교육의 향상을 위한 방안을 모색하고자 시행하였다. 치위생사의 예방진료 관심도, 예방관리 지식, 환자교육은 변수 간 유의한 상관성을 가지며, 예방진료 관심도가 높을수록 예방관리 지식이 높고 환자교육을 잘하며, 예방관리 지식이 높을수록 환자교육을 잘하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 치과위생사의 예방진료 관심도가 환자교육에 미치는 영향에 예방관리지식의 매개효과를 알아보기 위해 회귀분석과 Sobel 검증을 실시한 결과 유의한 것으로 나타나(Z=5.96, p<.001) 예방진료 관심도가 환자교육 실시를 높이는 직접효과와 예방관리 지식을 높이고, 높아진 예방관리 지식으로 다시 환자교육이 잘 실시되는 간접효과를 동시에 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 이에 본 연구결과를 토대로 환자의 예방관련 교육효과를 높이기 위해서는 치과위생사의 예방업무에 대한 관심과 예방관련지식함량을 위한 교육과 함께 제도적 지지가 뒷받침이 된다면 환자의 예방교육 효과는 더욱 높아질 것으로 사료된다.
