Background: This study aimed to identify the present level and needs of clinical dental hygienists and to present the Borich needs assessment and the locus for focus model as integrated priorities. Methods: The participants of this study were dental hygienists working in dental clinics (hospitals). The final data of the 194 participants were analyzed using frequency analysis and a paired sample t-test. To analyze the need for clinical dental hygienists to perform work, the Borich priority determination formula was used. The x-y plane consisting of four quadrants was used to analyze the need using the locus for focus model, which helps to determine the priority while showing visual effects. Results: "Scaling" was the highest required level for clinical dental hygienists, and "panorama taking" was the highest present level. The priorities of educational needs were systematically and visually derived from dental hygienists who were currently working through the Borich needs assessment and the locus for focus model for each task performed in the clinical field. Through the priorities of these two models, a total of 13 items appeared in the common high-level area; "oral health care (disability)," "oral health care (systemic disease)," "applying a rubber dam," "professional mechanical tooth cleaning," "root planing," "taking vital signs," "medication counseling," "wire cutting," "removing cement after removing band/bracket," "delivering bracket," "preparing mini-screw implantation," "dental insurance claim," and "patient reception." Conclusion: Based on the results, the department of dental hygiene should maintain and improve the standardized clinical practice curriculum and clinical dental hygienists' practical skills and contribute to the realization of the legal scope of dental hygienists, reflecting the requirements of clinical fields.

최근 사회의 급격한 변화는 사회내 모든 부분에 반영되어 성과와 효율에 대한 무한 경쟁의 모습으로 나타나고 있다. 교육 분야도 이 같은 상황은 예외가 아니어서 수요자의 요구를 충족시키기 위한 형태로 대학간 전공간 경쟁이 심화되고 있다. 주문식 교육제도의 도입은 바로 이러한 특성을 반영한 대학의 생존전략 중에 하나이다. 치위생학의 주문식 교육과정에 대한 연구결과 치과병의원의 관리자들은 치과진료보조분야의 직무를 치과위생사의 주요업무라고 생각하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 치과위생사들은 구강보건교육을 주요업무로 생각하고 있었으나 실제에 있어서는 본인의 의사와 달리 치과병의원 관리자의 의사를 따르는 것으로 나타나 1차적으로 산업체의 요구에 따른 산업체 현장실습강화가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 그리고 이와 함께 치과위생사의 주요 역할인 예방치과처치, 구강보건교육을 강화함으로써 병의원 내에서 치과위생사의 지위가 안정적으로 정착되게 하여 직장생활을 통해 자아실현의 기회를 제공할 필요도 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The aim of this study is to identify future-oriented tasks for Korean dental hygienists based on a literature review. A literature search is performed using 14 keywords related to tasks carried out by dental hygienists, and included articles published from 2000 to 2019 in the databases KISS, RISS, DBpia, NDSL, Papersearch, Pubmed, and Google Scholar. Six reviewers assessed the titles and abstracts of articles, and an article was selected if the study was considered to cover future-oriented tasks for Korean dental hygienists. Based on the results six local studies and two foreign studies were used for literature review and data extraction. In total, 38 tasks were classified as future-oriented tasks of dental hygienists according to the following criteria: 1) tasks that were specifically referred to as future-oriented tasks, and 2) tasks that could be classified as future-oriented tasks although no specific reference was made. Of these, the most frequently mentioned tasks were measuring periodontal pocket depth, dental hygiene assessment, providing dietary advice, infiltration anesthesia, and root planing. These were extracted from five of the eight studies, including both local and foreign studies. Dental hygiene planning, emergency, emergency management, and smoking cessation were the next most common tasks based on four studies. Even though some of these future-oriented tasks for Korean dental hygienists are included in the dentistry curriculum, and are currently performed as clinical practice for dental hygienists. Nonetheless, the reference to the legal scope is unclear. It is necessary to reconsider the scope of tasks of dental hygienists to reflect changes in domestic and foreign dental care delivery, thereby contributing to the oral health promotion of the public, where safety is guaranteed under legal protection.
