Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate dental technicians' awareness of infections and to enhance their interest and commitment towards infection prevention. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire survey was conducted among dental technicians. Total of 195 responses were used for analysis. A cross-tabulation analysis was used to compare dental technicians' awareness of infections according to their levels of education on infection prevention (α=0.05). Results: Dental technicians were educated on infection prevention (40.5%). Most participants received infection prevention education from school (29.8%). Dental laboratories had an infection control guideline (34.9%). Dental technicians were not aware of infection risks at their workplaces or believed that they were not at risk of infections at their workplaces (59.3%). Conclusion: Dental technicians must be consistently educated on infection prevention and control through systematic education at school and wider promotion through media. Research is needed to economically and efficiently improve equipment used by dental technicians and to protect them from infectious diseases. A budget for infection prevention must also be determined. Institutional measures such as providing support for dental technicians at the policy level and developing a basic infection prevention manual are necessary. Solving these issues not only protects dental technicians from infections but also allows them to provide high-quality medical services.

연구배경 및 목적: 본 연구의 목적은 미국질병관리센터(CDC) 치과감염관리 표준예방지침에 기준하여 감염관리 인식과 예방에 관한 인식을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법: CDC 치과감염관리 목록을 기준으로 'CDC 감염관리기준에 관한 표준 및 교육', 'CDC 감염관리 예방에 관한 사항', '연구대상자의 특성 및 감염관리 특성'에 관한 설문을 구성하였다. 총 222개의 설문을 빈도분석과 교차분석을 실시하여 분석에 활용하였다. 결과: 연구대상자의 특성은 대부분 대학병원이나 종합병원에 근무하고 있었으며 최근 1년이내 감염 예방 교육을 93.7%가 받은 것으로 나타났다. CDC 치과 감염관리 표준 및 교육 인식은 평균 77.2%로 이전 연구 결과와 비교해 더 높았다. 예방에 관한 인식은 평균 71.5%로 나타났으며 인증평가를 받은 그룹에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이로 예방에 관한 인식이 높았다(p<0.001). 결론: 본 연구 대상자는 감염관리 표준 및 교육 인식과 예방에 관한 인식이 이전연구 보다 높게 나타났다. 그러나 CDC 치과감염관리 표준예방지침에 비교하여 미흡한 수준이었다. 따라서 정부 부처와 관련 기관은 체계적인 감염관리 시스템을 구축하기 위한 노력이 필요하다.

치과위생사의 감염관리 교육, 감염관리에 필요한 보호장비의 구비 및 착용 등이 모두 치과병원장과 관련된다. 따라서 본 연구는 치과 감염관리에서 치과병원장의 중요성에 대하여 살펴보고자 하였다. 1. 치과감염관리에 대한 추가교육이 치과위생사의 94.2%가 필요하다고 응답하였으며, 교육의 주체는 치과위생사협회가 되어야 한다고 47.1%가 응답하였다. 2. 치과의사의 관심도가 높을수록(높은편이다 이상 36.7%, 낮은편이다 이하 16.0%) 치과위생사가 교육경험이 높고, 치과의사의 관심도가 낮을수록(높은편이다 이상 18.8%, 낮은편이다 이하 31.3%) 치과위생사의 교육경험이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 치과의사의 관심은 곧 치과위생사의 감염관리 교육과 관련있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다. 3. 치과위생사의 의료용 장갑 사용은 매환자 사용이 42.4%, 필요시 51.8%로 통계적으로 유의한(<.001)것으로 조사되었다. 치과의사는 진료전 70.7%만이 항상 손세척을 하며 필요시 22.0%, 안하는 경우도 7.3%로 조사되었다. 이 결과는 통계처리 결과 유의한 것으로 조사되었다(<.001). 4. 감염관리에서 가장 의식개혁이 필요한 사람은 치과병원장이 66.5%, 치과위생사 31.9%로 조사되었다. 5. 감염관리가 잘 되기 위해서는 병원장의 의지가 37.2%로 가장 중요한 것으로 조사되었다. 다음으로 치과위생사의 26.2%, 법적규제와 의료보험 수가에 반영이 각각 20.4%, 15.2%로 조사되었다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to survey the awareness of methicillin -resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) among dental hygiene students in Yeungnam South Korea. Also the knowledge of infection control and infection diseases was surveyed. Methods : The subjects in this study were 213 dental hygiene students in three different colleges in Yeungnam. This study was conducted by using the self-reported questionnaire. Results : In the first, most of the students(86.9%) did not know about MRSA and 85.7% of them got the information in the college. Secondly, the awareness of infectious disease according to infection control education didn't have statistically significant difference(p>0.05). In the third, the infection control attitude level that the gowns should be changed after the treatment of infectious patients was scored lower than the others questions. on the other hand, the level of 'The use of high vacuum suction', 'The change of wet mask', 'The history taking of infectious disease' was scored higher. Finally, the attitude level according to grade and clinical training had statistically significant difference(p<0.05). But the infection control education had not affected significantly(p>0.05). Conclusions : Despite the infection control education and clinical training, the awareness was found insufficient in infectious diseases and MRSA. Therefore, it should be strengthen that the dental hygiene students were more educated about infection control at college course before clinical training, and especially the danger of MRSA was more.

Infection control is critical to good dental practice. To this end, it is essential that the practitioner not only understand the concepts involved in the development and applications of antimicrobial(physical and chemical) agents but also know how to use them properly in the dental operatory. Practical applications of infection control are more fully described in several of the suggested references.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify relationship between knowledge and infection control behavior about Hepatitis B patient in health care-related majors. Methods: Data was collected from health care related majors-nursing, emergency rescue and dental hygiene with questionaire. Total respondents were 306 and we use all of them. We analysed students' knowledge and infection control behavior about Hepatitis B patient and their relationship. Uni-variate analysis, t-test, ANOVA and correlation analysis test were conducted using SAS version 9.2. Results: Students who go the Hepatitis B lecture were significantly high Knowledge level about Hepatitis B(p<.05). Students who go to clinical education about Hepatitis B were significantly better behavior about infection control in clinical practice(p<.05). The relationship between knowledge about Hepatitis B and infection control in clinical practice was significantly negative(p<.05). Conclusions: It needs to be educated both infection control lectures and clinical practice to health care-related majors to prevent cross-infection between patients and health care providers.
