이 연구는 치위생학과 대학원에 진학한 치과위생사들이 대학원 선택 후에 자신의 대학원 대학원 선택 확신에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 하였으며 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 일반적 특성과 대학원 선택동기인 외적요인과 내적요인 차이를 분석한 결과 결혼여부에 따른 대학원 특성 지각요인 중 재정접근성요인은 기혼이 높게 나타났으며, 교육프로그램요인에서는 미혼이 높게 나타났다. 월 평균 소득은 재정 접근성요인, 교육프로그램요인 평균 점수를 높게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 경력이 낮을수록 교육프로그램요인 평균 점수가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 내적요인은 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 나타내지 못하였다. 일반적 특성과 대학원 선택 확신요인 차이를 검증한 결과 미혼일수록 대학원 선택 확신요인 점수가 높았고, 월 평균 소득에 따른 대학원 선택 확신요인과 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 대학원 선택동기 외적요인 중 교육프로그램요인과 장래성요인은 대학원 선택 확신요인에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났지만 내적요인은 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보았을 때, 치과위생사가 치위생학과 대학원에 진학하고 대학원 확신 선택요인에 가장 중요한 요인은 교육프로그램(교수 명성과 질, 전공프로그램의 질, 교수 학생 관계, 교수학생 비율, 학술활동)요인임을 알 수 있었으며, 장래성(학위 취득 후 진로선택 유리, 소득과 수입에서 유리, 사회 진출, 박사과정 개설) 또한 대학원 선택 확신요인에 필요한 요인이라고 볼 수 있었다. 따라서 치위생학과 대학원은 치위생학과에 진학하고자 하는 치과위생사에게 교육 프로그램의 관련 정보를 제공해야하며, 학문의 발전과 전문가의 영역을 넓힐 수 있는 교육 프로그램을 개발 및 개선시켜야 할 것이다. 또한 이 연구의 결과를 활용하여 치과위생사의 인적자원을 양성함에 있어 치위생학과 대학원에서 이들에 대한 지원 방안을 마련할 수 있을 것이다.

To prevent musculoskeletal disorders(MSD) for dental hygiene students, who will potentially be at high risk of developing MSD while performing oral prophylaxis practice, an MSD prevention education program was designed and was offered to a group of dental hygiene students to find whether the program is effective. Before the program started and three months after the program ended, changes in the students' posture were filmed to observe them. The final subjects for analysis included 30 students in the experimental group and 41 students in the control group. To verify differences between the experimental and the control groups, repeated measures ANOVA was carried out before and after the program. After the education program, the experimental group's RULA scores for neck, left upper arm, right forearm, and wrist, RULA A score on both left and right side, RULA B score on left side, and total RULA score were significantly lowered during the operation on the upper jaw, compared with that of the control group. And, during the operation on the lower jaw, the experimental group's RULA A score, RULA B score, and total RULA score were very significantly lowered. The results of this study suggest the MSD prevention education program is effective in preventing the disorder. Thus, the program can be utilized as an education program for preventing MSDs during dental hygiene students' oral prophylaxis practice and clinical practice.

Objectives: The purposes of this study were to analyze the trade newspapers related to 'recognition of the dental hygienist as the healthcare professional' using R program and to identify opinions of groups concerned with dental hygienists. Methods: This study was designed with contents analysis and cross-sectional. The subjects of the study were the articles for the last three years in medical and dental newspapers about the recognition of the dental hygienist as the healthcare professional. The collected articles were categorized and classified for each group's opinions about the issue. The key words were extracted according to the priorities of the opinions of agreement and disagreement. They were visualized after frequency analysis using R, a big data analysis program. Results: A total of 237 newspaper articles were extracted among 270 ones containing opinions. 245 were positive opinions and 25 were negatives. The main key words of the agreement were 'Amendment of Medical Law', 'Medical Practice', and 'Legal Guarantee of the Practice'. Advocates addressed that the issues should be resolved with the amendment of the law, as dental hygienists are not guaranteed to work based on the current law although they are actually doing the medical practices. Main key words of disagreement were 'Legal Guarantee of the Practice', 'Revision of Medical Technician Law', and 'Review of Job Type'. They described that the problem can be resolved by revising medical technicians act, and it needs to consider as job types of all healthcare professional. Conclusions: In the group who showed the positive opinions, it is possible to utilize measures such as promoting the cooperation of dental hygienists and developing public consensus through publicity.
