The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of SERVICE-LEARNING related to geriatric oral health according to dental hygiene education. The result of this study were summarized as follows: 1. Self-efficacy and altruism & social responsibility was higher in post SERVICE-LEARNING than in pre SERVICE-LEARNING(p < 0.05). 2. Comparing pre-score of self-efficacy and altruism & social responsibility in terms numbers of grade and service frequency, they showed statistically significant (p < 0.05). 3. Comparing the service frequency and satisfaction score after SERVICE-LEARNING, they showed statistically significant (p < 0.05). 4. Comparing service satisfaction score in terms numbers of grade and service frequency, they showed statistically significant (p < 0.05). 5. Comparing the service frequency and curriculum subject evaluation after SERVICE-LEARNING, they showed statistically significant (p < 0.05). 6. Comparing the curriculum subject evaluation score in terms numbers of grade and service frequency, they showed statistically significant (p < 0.05). 7. Result of post test(1 & 3grade, 2 & 3grade) for score difference of self-efficacy, altruism & social responsibility, service satisfaction, curriculum subject evaluation showed statistically significant(p < 0.05).

Objectives: This study compared the number of graduates in each region for the past 6 years and the number of dental hygienists working in dental clinics by region to evaluate the trend of dental hygienists moving to work areas after graduation. Methods: Health care big data open system_medical manpower statistics, resident population and household status data by year, and education statistics service were used to calculate the number of dentists and dental hygienists, admission status by region, number of dental hygienists per 100,000 population, number of dental hygienists per number of dentists, and distribution of dental hygienists by region. Results: Although the number of active dental hygienists increased in the metropolitan area, the ratio of dental hygienists to dentists did not improve significantly. In addition, the number of students enrolled in provincial universities decreased, and there were fewer active dental hygienists than graduates in provincial areas. Conclusions: Although the number of active dental hygienists increased due to increase in the number of dental hygiene departments, it was found that rural areas did not have a significant impact on the availability of dental hygienists as the graduates moved to the metropolitan area.

This study aimed to evaluate conditions and performance of quality improvement (QI) activity in Korean dental hospitals. Twenty one representative dental hospitals in Korea were selected by the selection criteria. A questionnaire was implemented to measure awareness, perceived needs, educations, conferences, works, activating/obstructive factors and satisfaction related to QI activities. Satisfaction score range from 0 (lowest) to 5 (highest) among 329 dental hygienists who worked in the selected 21 dental hospitals. Implementation rate of programs on external customer satisfaction was the highest 59.9% in QI activities, and reduction of expenses (59.4%), Improvement in health care quality (58.7), risk management (52.8) were followed, while improvement in work efficiency (46.5) showed the lowest implementation rate. The most influencing factor accelerating QI activities was 'active participation of hospital workers' (54.7%), and 'effort to improve customer satisfaction' (44.7%) followed. The most influencing QI related obstructive factor was 'lack of QI-related manpower and support' (47.1%). A balanced development including QI programs with lower implementation rates is necessary. Encouraging participation of workers may be the most important in developing dental QI activities further.

Background: The aim of this study was to examine the association between physical activity and periodontitis in the Korean population. Methods: This study utilized data from 9,191 participants of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Periodontitis was defined as a CPI score of 3 or 4. Physical activity was assessed by the trained interviewer using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF). IPAQ-SF is composed of vigorous physical activity, moderate physical activity, and walking activity. Multivariable logistic regression analyses and stratified analyses by obesity were performed. All analyses were conducted separately for males and females. Results: Females who engaged in vigorous and moderate physical activity had a 28% (OR = 0.72, 95% CI = 0.54 - 0.95) and 34% (OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.44 - 0.98) lower risk of periodontitis, respectively. In obese females, moderate physical activity in obese had a 65% lower risk of periodontitis (OR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.18 - 0.67). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that moderate-intensity physical activity was inversely associated with a lower risk of periodontitis. In obese females, moderate physical activity had an independent inverse association with periodontitis.

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between safety and health activities of clinical dental hygienists. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 208 dental hygienists in Seoul, Gyeonggido, and Incheon from May 9 to June 30, 2016. The study was approved by institutional review board (IRB). The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects (9 items) and safety activities (15 items), and health activities (17 items) by Likert 5 point scale. Except two incomplete answers, data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 program. Results: The mean of safety activities and health activities was 3.04 and 3.55, respectively. A significant difference was shown in staff safety, facility safety, environmental safety, infection control, and dental technique control (p<0.001). Conclusions: A significant association was shown in safety and health activities of clinical dental hygienists. It is necessary to promote the safety and health activities for the clinical dental hygienists.
