In conclusion, as for analysis of research design, first, it was the largest in cross sectional research. Second, the research subjects of survey theses were higher in order of dental hygienist and dental hygiene student. Third, number of thesis authors was the largest in order of two persons and three persons. Fourth, statistical method was in order of descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA. Research theme was in order of dental health behavioral science and clinical dental hygiene. Fifth, as for research-expense benefit, only 17.7% was supported research funds. As a result of this study, there should be a research on thesis of diverse designs in the future. There is a need of being performed actively a research on alienated classer or special subjects as well as a research on activity related to dental hygiene.

The purpose of this study was to establish an effective strategy for smoking cessation programs of adult by examining the relationship between smoking and oral characteristics in 166 men in their 20s in Ulsan and Busan. As a result, there was a difference in dental fear (χ²=4.72, p<0.01), tooth stain (χ²=10.22, p<0.01) and others perception of bad breath (χ²=7.35, p<0.01). Smokers had 2.03 times more dental fear, 3.26 times more tooth stain, and 2.51 times more other perception of bad breath higher than non smokers. Therefore, effective smoking cessation education should be continuously operated in order to prevent 20-year-old men from leading to lifetime smoking.

To find out the relationship between the experience of clinical practice and the performance confidence, some 2nd and 3rd grade students in D health college who completed clinical practice in 2008. Sept. were surveyed. The results are as follows. 1. During the clinical practice of the dental hygiene students, the performance experience was highest in the basic prep. part among every part. As for the dental hygiene part, the students showed more than 70%, rather higher performance experience in the following parts: arrangement before and after treatment, suction, basic instruments setup, local anesthesia setup, extraction setup, resin filling setup, temporary filling setup, cements mixing, and ligation and removal setup. 2. As for performance confidence, those with performance experience showed higher performance confidence than those with only observation experience or with no experience in every treatment field except basic prep. (p < 0.001). 3. It was proven that the hygiene students have seldom had performance experience in other treatment parts except in assisting treatment part in clinical practice. In order to improve future performance experience on dental hygiene activities, subsequent research is needed to set more specific and objective criterion about the dental hygiene students' clinical practice.

This study was conducted to identify the correlation between the self-efficacy, communication competence, and clinical practice satisfaction of dental hygiene students and the factors affecting clinical practice satisfaction. The data survey was conducted on 201 students of Chungcheong Province who experienced clinical practice. Data were analyzed by anova and logistic regression analysis. As a result of the study, clinical practice satisfaction was positively correlated with self-efficacy (r=.337), communication competence (r=.293) and self-efficacy was positively correlated with communication competence (r=.633). Factors affected to clinical practice satisfaction were self-efficacy, academic score, and major satisfaction. Therefore, it will be necessary to develop clinical practice education programs that can enhance students' self-efficacy and improve their communication competence.

This study was conducted to identify the correlation between dental hygiene students' overdependence on smartphones, sleep deprivation, and self-control, and factors influencing self-control. 267 college students in the department of dental hygiene located in the Chungcheong area were surveyed and analyzed. Smartphone overdependence was positively correlated with sleep deprivation and smartphone overdependence was negative correlated with self-control. The sleep deprivation was negative correlated with self-control. Factors affected to self-control were problematic results and sleep deprivation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop education and programs that can increase the self-control of dental hygiene students and to prepare measures to prevent sleep problems and overdependence on smartphone.

The purpose of the present study was to examine dental hygienists' perception of the current national practical examination. This research was performed using 199 self-reported surveys answered by professors of dental hygiene studies and clinical dental hygienist. Frequency analysis, chi-square tests, and analysis of variance were performed by using IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 20.0. The results revealed that many of the respondents consider the current national practical examination to be neutral. They did not think that the current national practical examination questions are useful for assessing occupation-centric integrated clinical practice ability and counseling techniques for patient intervention. The professors of dental hygiene studies believed that among the research tasks required as mentioned in the national practical examination questions, dental polishing and tooth brushing education are of paramount importance, whereas clinical dental hygienists believed that ultrasonic scaling is the most important (p<0.05). Most of the professors of dental hygiene studies reported that they conducted skills education for dental polishing and tooth brushing education, while most of the clinical dental hygienists reported that tasks actually performed in the clinic included impression taking, model fabrication, ultrasonic scaling, and explaining treatment precautions (p<0.05). Therefore, these tasks can be effectively carried out with the improvement of the national dental hygienist practical examination.
