본 연구는 B형간염에 대한 치위생과와 치기공과 대학생들의 지식, 태도, 건강신념과의 관련성 연구와 예방접종률 향상을 위한 예방 교육 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료에 도움을 주고자 조사하였다. 2018년 4월 26일부터 4월 30일까지 치위생과와 치기공과 대학생 252명을 대상으로 설문하여 분석하였다. B형간염에 대한 지식 점수는 20.0 만점에 평균 11.60이었고, 연구대상자의 B형간염 예방접종에 대한 태도 점수와 건강신념은 4.0점 만점에 각각 평균 3.51점과 3.10점으로 나타났다. B형 간염 예방접종률은 38.9%, B형간염 교육을 받지 못한 경우는 53.6%이었다. B형간염 예방접종에 영향을 미치는 요인은 임상실습경험 및 예방교육이었다. 연구대상 학생들은 미래에 보건의료기관에 근무할 인력이므로 B형간염에 대한 지식, 태도, 건강신념에 대한 보건교육과 융합적 교육 프로그램 개발이 반드시 필요할 것이다.

치과진료 환경은 병원 미생물에 쉽게 노출되어 종사자의 감염 위험성은 매우 높다. 그중 손은 감염의 중요한 매개가 되므로 손위생은 감염 위험성을 낮추기 위한 가장 중요하고 기본적인 방법이다. 이에 치과진료 과목을 세분화하여 교정치과 진료실의 손위생과 건강신념간의 관련성을 연구하였다. 손위생과 건강신념간의 차이 분석 결과 손 위생 관리 중요도와 손 위생 교육 경험은 유의한 관계를 보였다(p=0.010)(p=0.000). 건강신념에 영향을 미치는 요인 분석 결과 손 위생 관리 중요도(p=0.014), 손 위생 교육 경험(p=0.010)은 유의하게 영향을 미치는 요인이었다. 치과 감염에 대한 관심이 증대되면서 기본적인 방법인 손 씻기의 중요성이 더욱 높아질 것을 예상 할 때 감염관리 교육은 건강신념을 확립하는데 높은 관련성이 있을 것이라 사료된다.

목적: 국내 치위생학을 전공하는 학생들의 방사선 안전행위 수준 확인을 위해 방사선 안전관리 지식, 태도, 행위 수준을 분석하여 교육학적 근거를 도출하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 한국대학교육협의회 대학정보공시센터(대학알리미)에 등록된 전국 83개교 치위생(학)과에 재학중인 3,4학년을 대상으로 하였으며 연구도구는 설문지이다. 설문조사는 대학별 각 20부(총 1,660부)를 방문, 우편, e-mail의 방법으로 배포하여 수거된 응답지 중 신뢰도를 확보하고 있는 총 723부를 SPSS/WIN 15.0를 사용하여 빈도, 백분율, 평균과 표준편차, Pearson's correlation으로 분석하였다. 결과: 방사선 안전관리에 대한 치위생(학)과의 지식, 태도, 행위는 모두 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 방사선 안전관리에 대한 행위수준을 높이기 위해서는 지식, 태도 수준을 높일 수 있는 교육이 적용되어야 한다. 또한 개인의 행위에 가장 상관성이 높은 변수는 물리적 환경에 대한 변수로, 이는 물리적 환경이 갖추어져 있지 않으면 방사선 안전행위 수준을 높이는데 한계가 있음을 의미한다. 따라서 치위생(학)과의 방사선 안전행위 수준을 높이기 위해 물리적 환경을 보완해야 하며 개인의 방사선 안전관리 태도 수준 또한 물리적 환경에 대한 태도 변수와 가장 상관성이 높으므로 방사선 안전관리에 대한 개인의 태도 수준을 높이기 위해 물리적 환경에 대한 변수를 보완해야 한다. 결론: 방사선 안전관리에 대한 태도보다 지식이 상대적으로 낮고, 행위 수준이 가장 낮으므로 안전 행위에 대한 강화된 교육정책이 도입되어야 할 것이며 국내의 경우 치위생(학)과를 졸업한 치위생사들이 치과병원에서 전국민의 구강 방사선 촬영 시 방사선 피폭을 감소시킬 수 있는 주체이므로 현재의 교육 시스템에서 방사선 안전관리 행위 수준을 향상시킬 교육적 개입이 필요하다.

비판적 사고는 치위생 교육과 실무에서 요구되는 핵심역량으로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구는 비판적 사고 능력 중 비판적 사고 성향이 학업성적에 따라 차이가 나타나는지를 알기 위해 2개교의 치위생(학)과 재학생 252명을 대상으로 비판적 사고 성향과 학업성적을 조사하여 다변량 공분산분석에 의해 비교한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 조사대상자의 비판적 사고 성향 평균은 3.46이었으며, 학업성적 상위권 집단의 비판적 사고 성향 전체 평균은 3.63로서 중위권(3.46), 하위권(3.41) 집단에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p=009). Scheffe 방법에 의한 사후검정 결과 상위권과 하위권 집단 사이에 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p=0.009). 2. 비판적 사고 성향의 하위요인인 지적열정/호기심, 자신감, 객관성, 건전회의성, 지적공정성, 신중성 등 6개 요인을 종속변수로 선택하고, 연령을 공변량으로 입력한 다변량 공분산 분석 결과 다변량 검정 결과 학업성적 집단에 따라 다변량 통계량이 유의한 차이가 나타났으며(p=0.001), 지적열정/호기심에서 학업성적 상,중,하 집단 사이에 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p=0.036). 3. 학업성적 집단 사이의 지적 열정/호기심에 대한 차이를 Scheffe의 방법에 의해 사후검정한 결과 상위권집단과 중위권 집단 사이(p=0.027)와 상위권 집단과 하위권 집단 사이(p=0.002)에 유의한 차이가 나타났으나, 중위권 집단과 하위권 집단 사이에는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 치위생(학)과 학생들의 학업성적에 따른 비판적 사고성향을 분석한 결과, 성적에 따라 비판적 사고능력에는 지적 열정/ 호기심에서 차이가 있었으나, 그 차이는 크지 않았다(Wilks의 람다=0.914, F(6, 24)=1.869, p=0.001, 부분 에타제곱=0.044). 치과위생사의 비판적 사고능력은 업무범위 안에서 해결해야 하는 대상자의 '문제'와 '원인'의 관계를 진술하는 '치위생진단문'과 치과위생사가 제공해야할 예방, 치료, 교육에 관한 '중재 계획'으로 비판적 사고 과정의 결과이다. 따라서 치위생(학)과 학생들의 임상적 판단과 의사결정을 위한 비판적 사고 능력이 증진할 수 있는 교육체계가 마련되어야 한다고 사료된다.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to assess oral health knowledge and behavior levels of community pharmacists as a step toward projecting them to play the role of oral health partners and to confirm pharmacists' willingness to participate in oral health education programs. Methods: t-test and one-way analysis of variance were performed to analyze the data, and correlation analysis was also performed. Results: The mean score for pharmacists' oral health knowledge was 7.29 out of 10. Of the 12 questions asked, the correct answer rate was highest for the question about the effect of smoking cessation on periodontal disease prevention; conversely, the correct answer rate was lowest for the question about the effect of taking medication for gingival infections on periodontal disease prevention. The mean score for pharmacists' oral health behavior was 2.97 out of 4 points. Of all oral health behaviors, brushing twice a day was the most practiced, whereas immediately visiting a dentist in case of an oral health issue was the least practiced. Pharmacists' oral health knowledge and behavior levels showed a weak positive correlation with their intention to participate in oral health education programs. Conclusions: Oral health education programs are necessary to improve community pharmacists' oral health knowledge and behavior.
