  • Objectives: This study is intended to provide a basic resource on the role of dental hygienists. It also intends to establish the identity of future dental hygienists by analyzing the clinical roles of currently practicing dental hygienists through the perspectives of dental hygiene students. Methods: The analysis was performed using the phenomenological method, and it involved 11 participants enrolled between November 20, 2019 and January 20, 2020. Methods: The analysis was done in the phenomenological method on total 11 participants from November 20, 2019 to January 20, 2020. Results: They were exposed to various types of learning. They did not have a sense of belonging, and they experienced the burden of self-learning. They experienced work burden beyond the legal work boundary and a lack of infection control by clinical institutions. They were not respected as professional workers, and they had poor working conditions. Their expertise was not recognized. Conclusions: This study will facilitate appropriate awareness and establish the identity of dental hygienists by critically evaluating their challenges and working conditions and presenting alternatives.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of dental hygiene curricula related to clinical practice in Korea. Methods: Clinical work included the categories 'history taking, infection control, oral prophylaxis, preventive treatment, education/counseling, radiography/reading, assisting/cooperation, impression/bite registration, anesthesia, etc.', and 66 works were finally selected based on the frequent tasks of dental hygienists. The subjects were made to answer nine questionnaires. Results: It was found that the theory and practice of the main works operated quite differently in lectures and practice in each school. All types of practice were applied to all schools in the case of 'scaling'. The evaluation of clinical practice was also found to be very different from school to school. Conclusions: For dental hygienists to establish expertise in clinical practice and promote quality improvement, it is necessary to develop a core curriculum focusing on clinical practice. The standardized curriculum should be improved to an efficient and competency-centered one defining clearly the role of dental hygienists considering the needs and importance of clinical practice.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the ethical climate affects the job satisfaction of the clinical dental hygienists. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 207 dental hygienists. The data were analyzed by t-test or one-way ANOVA, multiple regression analysis, and Pearson's correlation analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 19.0 program. Results: The factors affecting the job satisfaction of the general and ethical climate were the work experiences, the completion of vocational ethics education, the self interest type, the friendship type, the rule and the procedure type. When working experience and vocational ethics education are completed, self interest type and friend type have improved job satisfaction as the score increases, while job satisfaction is lowered as the rule and procedure type are increased. Conclusions: Since healthy ethical climate correlates with job satisfaction, it is necessary to establish an ethical climate in order to improve the job satisfaction of clinical dental hygienists. Efficient and stable management of ethical climate within dental clinics can be achieved when mutual interests are emphasized and respected rather than obedience is empathized to hospital regulations, procedures and policies.

  • The purpose of this study was to serve as a basis for more efficient dental hygienist human resources utilization and for determining some of the right directions for supplementary education for dental hygienists, by examining how they actually worked and what they thought of job-related things. The subjects in this study were 537 dental hygienists who participated in a seminar by the Korea Dental Hygienist Association. After a survey was conducted, the following findings were given: 1. 50.2% of the dental hygienists investigated completed legally required eight-class education. Those who worked in clinics took less supplementary education classes than the others in the other types of dental institutions. The main reason they didn't receive supplementary education was financial burden and uncooperative employers. 73.2% took supplementary education at the association or its branches. The association was most favored by those in clinical sector as a place that provides supplementary education, followed by its branch and university in the order named. And the dental hygienists in public health sector preferred university most, and the next best favored one was the association and its branch in the order named. Those in clinical sector hoped to acquire clinical information on patient management, implant or aesthetics, and the dental hygienists in public health sector wanted to learn about health administration, public oral health operations and oral health education, which were different from what those in clinical sector wanted. 2. Regarding the period of service, 492% had worked for three years or more. This fact suggested that their service term and average age continued to grow. And they thought they would decide the retirement time on their own. 3. The most common yearly income ranged from 12 million won to 16 million won(40.7%). For-those in clinics, yearly income was 14.36 million won, and that of the dental hygienists who had worked for less than 3 years was 12.90 million won. 4. The Korea Dental Hygienist Association was most required to protect the rights and interests of the members and offer new knowledge and technology. 5. The largest group of them were engaged in patient management, and this type of job also was the most favored one for them to do. The greatest number of the dental hygienists in public health sector were in charge of dental treatment. 6. Concerning their turnover rate, 492% had never changed their occupation. Specifically, 70.0% of the respondents who had worked for less than 3 years had have no experience to do that. The time constraints for self-development and conflicts with other workers were the cause of their turnover. Those in dental hospital and general hospital changed their occupation chiefly due to the lack of time for self-development, and for the dental hygienists in clinics, the conflicts with other workers were the main reason. The above-mentioned findings suggested that the way the dental hygienists looked at things was undergoing change. The service area made a difference to their preference for the type of supplementary education and institution in charge of it, as those in public health and clinical sectors had a different opinion. And the dental hygienists in clinical sector had a different opinion as well, according to service area, about salaries, reason of not taking supplementary education, preferred type of supplementary education, cause of turnover, and type of occupation to which they hoped to change employment. To utilize and supply human resources in a more stabilized manner, job description should be more segmented, standardized and classified clearly, and dental hygienists should be motivated to perform their substantial jobs, including oral disease prevention, oral prophylaxis and oral health education. To make it happen, it seems that dentists are required to have a clear understanding of dental hygienist job and to change the way they look at it.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 치과의료서비스에 직접적인 영향을 주는 주요 인력인 치과위생사의 셀프리더십, 심리적 임파워먼트와 직무만족도간의 관련성을 규명하여 조직 내 양질의 인적 향상 방안을 마련하고자 시행되었다. 자료수집은 2017년 5월 1일부터 6월 10일까지 대전·전라지역에 치과 병·의원에서 근무하는 임상치과위생사를 편의 표본추출 하였으며, 자기기입식 방법으로 작성하였다. 셀프리더십은 심리적 임파워먼트, 직무만족도와 정의 상관관계를 나타냈으며, 심리적 임파워먼트와 직무만족도도 정의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 심리적 임파워먼트, 치과시스템과 본인 적합성, 셀프리더십이 직무만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 이에 임상치과위생사의 셀프리더십, 심리적 임파워먼트 및 직무만족도와 관련성이 있음이 파악되었고, 치과위생사들의 직무만족도를 향상시키기 위해 긍정적인 심리적 임파워먼트 활용과 적극적인 셀프리더십 융합 프로그램을 정립하여 올바른 치과 조직의 방향성 확보와 운영에 관심을 가질 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • 임상치과위생사의 직무만족도에 영향을 주는 요인에 대해 파악하여 직무만족도 향상에 도움이 되는 기초자료로 제공하고자 실시되었다. 자료 수집은 2019년 4월 1일~30일까지 치과 병·의원에서 근무하는 임상치과위생사 182명을 대상으로 일반적특성, 직무특성, 전문직 자아개념, 자기효능감, 직무스트레스, 직무만족도를 조사하였다. SPSS 20.0 프로그램을 이용하였고, 일원분산 분석법과 T-검정으로 분석하였다. 임상치과위생사의 직무만족도에 미치는 영향 요인은 직무 스트레스(��=-0.324), 전문직 자아개념(��=0.345)에서 유의한 관련성이 나타났다. 이상의 결과, 임상치과위생사의 직무만족도에 영향을 주는 요인으로 전문직 자아개념은 높을수록, 직무 스트레스는 낮을수록 직무만족도는 높게 나타났다. 따라서 임상치과위생사의 전문직 자아개념을 높이고 직무스트레스 감소에 도움이 되는 프로그램 개발 및 적용이 요구된다.
