This research collected the curriculum for Dental Technology from a total of 20 schools -3-year colleges and 4-year colleges- all in Korea. And we analyzed the average credits of subjects from students. As a result of this analysis, we get the conclusion below: 1. In a distribution which students answered about each subjects; Seminar, Dental morphology I II, Dental morphology practice I II, and Dental devices & instruments don't have many credits and mostly have a converged tendency in high points, according to the arithmetic mean of the major basis subjects. 2. In an analysis of the correlation which is based on the distinction of sex: Complete denture prosthodontics I II III, Dental orthodontics I II, Dental orthodontics practice I II, and Dental orthodontics & practice III have a meaningful difference. ($\rho$< 0.05 ) 3. In an analysis of the correlation which is based on an age The major basis subjects -Introduction to dental technology, Dental esthetic, and Dental casting procedure-, and the major application subjects -Crown and bridge prosthodontics practice, Complete denture prosthodontics, Dental orthodontics, Dental orthodontics practice, and Operative dentistry laboratory technology- have meaningful difference. ($\rho$< 0.05 ) 4. In a correlation coefficient between subjects; The correlation coefficient of the major application subjects is higher than the major basis subjects. According to the student - t, we found that the level of significance is $\rho$< 0.001, which is meaningful. We feel the lack of a limitation which we didn't survey all students who are major in Department of Dental Technology. And we also feel that we'd better to consider not only students who being in college but also graduated students.

Objectives : To provide basic data for preparing effective CPR guidelines and educational programs for dental hygiene students. Methods : Second-year dental hygiene students in the classes of 5 colleges in Seoul and Gyeonggi-Do from May, 2010 to September, 2010 were enrolled in this study. The subjects comprised of 113 students who had not received CPR education and 134 students who had. Results : 1. The subjective understanding of CPR increased significantly from 52.2% before the education program to 81.4% after the course. 2. The mean level of knowledge of CPR increased significantly from 3.57 before the education program to 6.10 after the course. 3. The attitude to CPR increased significantly from 64.6% before the education program to 86.6% after the program. 4. The appropriate CPR education timing determined by the subjects was high school(36.3%) and college(27.4%) before the education program but elementary school(38.1%) and high school(26.9%) after the course.

치위생 전공자와 일반 학생의 구강건강실태를 비교 분석하고 구강보건교육의 필요성을 알아보기 위해 서울과 광주 지역의 2개 대학을 대상으로 2006년 6월부터 2007년 5월까지 자기 기입식 설문지를 배부 조사하였다. 수집된 자료를 통한 비교 분석으로 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 구강건강 관리 실태를 조사한 결과, 칫솔질 횟수에서는 치위생 전공자들은 3회가 가장 많았고, 일반 학생들은 2회가 가장 많은 것으로 나타났으며(p < 0.01), 칫솔질 시간은 치위생 전공자들이 1-2분, 3분, 4분 이상 순으로 나타났고, 일반 학생들은 1-2분, 3분, 1분 미만 순으로 나타났다(p < 0.05). 2. 스켈링에 대한 인식에 대해 살펴본 결과, 스켈링 경험은 치위생 전공자들의 경우 "경험이 있다"가 50.9%로 가장 많았고, 일반 학생들은 "경험이 없다"가 56.8%로 가장 많았다(p < 0.001). 3. 구강보건 교육을 받은 경험에 대해 살펴본 결과, 치위생 전공자들은 경험이 있는 경우가 많았고, 일반 학생들은 경험이 없는 경우가 많았다(p < 0.001). 이상의 결과를 살펴볼 때, 전반적인 구강건강관리 실태는 구강보건교육의 경험이 많은 치위생 전공자가 일반 학생보다 양호한 것으로 나타났으며, 이를 통해 수업시간에 계속적으로 구강보건교육을 받고 실시요령을 익히는 사람들에게서 직접적인 구강건강관리가 달라지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이에 일반학생들에게도 구강보건에 관한 교육의 기회를 확대시켜야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Background: To investigate political participation by dental hygiene students and analyze the differences therein based on the learning efficacy of dental hygiene policy. Methods: A total of 239 dental hygiene students who were expected to graduate responded to the survey. The data were collected online using a structured questionnaire consisting of 6 items on general characteristics, 10 on political participation, and 15 on the learning efficacy of dental hygiene policy. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 23.0. Political participation based on the learning efficacy of dental hygiene policy was analyzed using independent t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis (p<0.05). Results: Among the dental hygiene students, 60.7% voted in all three recent presidential, general, and local elections, and 14.2% did not. For political parties supported, 65.7% responded that they had "no supporting party," and 34.3% indicated that they had a "supporting party." In terms of the level of political participation of dental hygiene students (0~50 points), the average score was 25.8 points, with the average passive political participation (0~25 points) score at 15.6 points and the average active political participation (0~25 points) score at 10.2 points. With an increase in dental hygiene policy learning efficacy, both passive and active political participation showed higher scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: Dental hygiene students showed low political participation. The presence of a supporting party, higher voting participation, and higher learning efficacy of dental hygiene policy were associated with higher passive and active political participation. Therefore, to increase this population's interest in political participation, various opportunities for related learning need to be promoted and provided in academia, leading to the enhancement of their political capabilities. In this manner, dental hygienists should expand their capabilities in various roles such as advocates, policy makers, and leaders.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes and performing confidence, and factors influencing patient safety of dental hygiene students. The questionnaire contained items on the subjects' general characteristics, attitudes, and performing confidence in relation to patient safety. The self-reported questionnaire was administered to 287 dental hygiene students in Gwangju and Jeonnam, Korea from September to November 2017. We performed an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA analysis, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using IBM SPSS ver. 21.0 software. As a result of differences in attitude, and performing confidence according to the general characteristics, attitude toward patient safety scored 3.48 out of 5 points, and was more positive in students from 4-year colleges, with high major satisfaction, and in students who answered that they needed patient safety education. Performing confidence for patient safety scored 3.57 out of 5 points, and was statistically significantly higher in 4-year college students, with higher major satisfaction, amongst those with experience in patient safety education, and when patient safety education was needed before clinical practice or employment. There were positive correlations between attitude and performing confidence for patient safety. As a result of analyzing the factors influencing attitude and performing confidence for patient safety, attitudes were higher with higher performing confidence and performing confidence had the highest satisfaction rate of the major and patient safety education experience. Therefore, it is necessary to provide systematic education at universities reflecting the characteristics of dental medical institutions, as well as developing various education contents and education methods.

Objectives: This study aimed to provide the high-quality clinical practice environment education to students by researching the social support, major satisfaction, and interpersonal ability of dental hygiene students, analyzing factors having influence on the clinical practice satisfaction, and then increasing the satisfaction with clinical practice. Methods: 312 students who have completed clinical practice among dental hygiene major of three colleges in Gyeonggi province were collected by convenience sampling from April 18th to April 27th 2016. Using SPSS 20.0, descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were conducted. Results: The clinical practice satisfaction was correlated with interpersonal ability(r=0.383, p<.001), social support(r=0.239, p<0.01), subjective health condition(r=0.226, p<0.01), and major satisfaction(r=0.287, p<0.01). When interpersonal ability and social support were high, subjective health condition was good, and major satisfaction was high, the clinical practice satisfaction was also high. Conclusions: Based on the results, it would be necessary to develop operational reinforcing social support and interpersonal ability of dental hygiene students, and also to make efforts to increase the clinical practice satisfaction of dental hygiene students by establishing measures to increase their major satisfaction.
