Abstract
In this study, the awareness of hazardous chemicals and the need for education of dental hygienists were investigated. The subject of this study was an online survey of 103 dental hygienists working in medical institutions from June to August 2021 and analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 program. As a result, work experience was positively correlated with perception (r=.280, p<0.01) and work (r=.303, p<0.01), and work experience with perception (r=.411, p<0.01).Hazardous chemical information showed a positive correlation with practice (r=.371, p<0.01). As a result of the education requirement survey, only 27.2% had experience in hazardous chemical education, and 96.1% of the awareness of the need for education was highly surveyed. As for the desired method of education, 49.5% of them were online education, and the desired time for education was 1 hour. Therefore, in order to create a safe working environment for dental hygienists and to secure the safety of hazardous chemicals, it was necessary to expand educational opportunities at universities, medical institutions, and maintenance education, and to increase accessibility through online education.
