목적 : 현재 우리 사회는 건강증진에 대한 욕구가 증가함에 따라 보건의료에서 질적 서비스향상이 요구되고 있고, 구강진료를 분담하는 치과위생사들도 보다 전문적인 역할을 수행하기 위해서는 지식과 기술의 수준향상이 필요하다. 이에 치과위생사의 질적 수준을 향상시키는 데 가장 빠르고 효과적인 방법이 국가시험제도이며 국가시험에서의 타당성과 신뢰성을 높이고 필요한 과목과 내용을 직무를 중심으로 조정한다면 가장 좋은 방법이라고 사료되어 현행 우리나라 치과위생사 국가시험제도에 따른 문제점을 파악하고 캐나다 국가시험 제도와의 비교를 통해 문제점을 분석하고 이에 따른 개선책을 알아보았다. 방법 : 전국 치과위생사 교육기관에 근무하는 교수와 의료기관에 종사하는 치과위생사 중에서 최근 국가시험 응시경험자를 대상으로 2008년 6월 9일부터 6월 23일까지 설문조사를 실시하였으며 E-mail 과 Fax를 이용하였다. 캐나다 국가시험제도는 National Dental Examinations American Dental Association. National Board Dental Hygiene Examination Candidate Guide자료를 사용하여 비교하였다. 자료의 분석은 SPSS통계프로그램(Version 11.0)을 이용, Chi-square 검정을 하였으며, Fisher's Exact Test에 의한 검정을 실시하였다. 결과 : 1. 국가시험과목구성은 현행 국가시험과목구성에 문제가 있는 것으로 사료되어 과목조정 필요성이 큰 것으로 나타났고, 특히 대학근무자가, 나이가 많을수록, 재직기간이 길수록 더 높았다. 2. 국가시험 문제의 유형은 암기해석 문제가 대부분이었고 난이도는 비교적 양호하였으며, 전문성도 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 3. 과목조정 필요성은 구강생물학개론, 치과임상학 순으로 상대적으로 높았다. 캐나다 국가시험과 비교해 보면 치과임상학과 구강위생학개론 분야의 조정이 더욱 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 4. 한국과 캐나다의 국가시험제도는 형식은 비슷하나 내용과 과목의 구성에서는 큰 차이가 있었다. 5. 캐나다의 국가시험과 비교 시 한국은 치과위생사의 포괄적인 치과위생관리능력을 평가하기 어려웠다. 결론 : 이상의 결과로 보면 현행 국가시험은 과목 구성이 부적절하므로 조정의 필요성이 시급한 것으로 조사되었으며, 캐나다 국가시험과는 과목구성에서 큰 차이가 있었고 치과위생사에게 요구되는 포괄적 치과위생관리능력을 평가할 수 없는 것으로 조사되어 현행 국가시험 개선이 요구되었다.

Their knowledge, cognition and performances about oral healthcare collected with questionnaire survey from February to March, 2011. The rate and mean compared by chi-square test, t-test, and ANOVA. Results : Mean level of their knowledge, recognition and practice were 72.5, 80.2, and 65.6, respectively. Theses levels were higher in women (p<0.01), in the group of higher interested (p<0.001), immediately treated (p<0.001), correct tooth brushing (p<0.05), toothbrushing educated (p<0.001), take regular scaling (p<0.001), use assistant hygiene items (p<0.001), instead no differences by age and education level. And, the rate of correct toothbrushing was higher as 1.24 (1.03~1.50) times in the group with higher knowledge level, the rate of immediate treatment and regular scaling were higher as 1.35 (1.07~1.70) times, and 2.26 (1.41~3.64) times in the group with higher recognition level, respectively. Conclusions : These results demonstrate that insufficient knowledge and recognition of oral health care are related to a lack of its practice. Though their primary goal of the visits was treatment, the clients' attention needed to raise the comprehensive knowledge and recognition levels for their oral health promotion, especially reach to the performance level rather than simple knowledge acquisition. And more, to achieve the efficient oral health promotion, the importance of early treatment and strengthened efforts for prevention should be emphasized.

Objectives : This study was carried out with the aim of utilizing it as basic data in a plan for oral health promotion by analyzing oral-health awareness in high school students of some districts in our country, and by analyzing physical, mental and social influential factors in oral health, through using OHIP(Oral Health Impact Profile). Methods : It surveyed by carrying out self-administered questionnaire research targeting 536 boy & girl high school students in the 1st and the 2nd grade at 3 high schools in some districts of Gyeonggi Province. Results : 1. As for experience of having not visited dental clinic, a case of having not visited accounted for 32.5%. On the other hand, a case of having visited accounted for 67.5%. As for the appearance of oral health education, only 2.8% responded as saying of having experience. 97.2% responded as saying of having not taken oral health education. 2. As for oral health state perceived by oneself, the response as saying of 'thinking it to be healthy' and that 'there is something wrong' showed the distribution of 34.1% that is the same ratio. As for oral health interest, a case of having a little interest(58.4%) or of being so much interested(12.5%) showed 70.9%. A case of having no special interest(24.8%) or of having no interest at all(4.3%) showed the level of 29.1%.3. As for oral health knowledge, the toothbrushing knowledge was the highest with 4.54 marks out of 6-point perfection. The toothbrush knowledge(4-point perfection) showed low point with 2.05 marks. 4. By gender, a case of men was high in OHIP(Oral Health Impact Profile) for the functional restriction and physical pain. On the other hand, in the remaining sphere, women were indicated to be high in OHIP. The statistically significant difference was indicated in the spheres such as physical pain, psychological discomfort, a drop in psychological ability, a drop in social ability, and social separation. 5. According to oral health state perceived by oneself, a case of thinking it to be healthy was indicated to be high in OHIP for every sphere. A case of thinking it to have gum disease was indicated to be low in OHIP for every sphere. The statistically significant difference was indicated in every sphere except the sphere of functional restriction. 6. As for a factor of having influence upon OHIP according to oral health knowledge, it was indicated that the higher toothbrush knowledge leads to having more influence upon OHIP. Conclusions : It could be known that the oral health knowledge and OHIP are varied as well according to the oral health interest level. Also, the oral health education proper for subjects is not being performed. Even as for frequency of visiting the dentist, a regular visit is failing to be made. In consideration of these points, the diversified and effective educational program is likely considered to be necessarily developed and improved that subjects can have more interest in oral health.
