  • Background: Conscious sedation is a useful adjunct in the treatment of patients in dentistry; however, a lack of knowledge among the dental profession regarding sedation is a restricting factor in the practice of dental sedation. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the knowledge and practice of sedation in dentistry among dental professionals in Tanzania. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted for five months targeting all practicing dental professionals in Tanzania. A modified questionnaire contained 14 questions regarding knowledge about sedative agents and a section on the practice of sedation. The data obtained from this study were coded and entered into a computer program and analyzed using SPSS software version 23.0. The data are presented as frequencies and percentages in tables and charts. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: The age range of participants was between 24 and 63 years (mean 36.6 ± 7.7 years). There were 107 men (78.1%), and the male-to-female ratio was 3.6:1. The majority (76.6%) of participants only had an undergraduate dental degree. Thirty-one percent of participants only worked in publicly owned health facilities. Slightly more than half (59.9%) of participants had satisfactory knowledge regarding sedation in dentistry. There was no statistically significant association between the level of sedation-related knowledge and the demographic characteristics of the participants. Only 21.9% reported using sedation in their practice, and the most commonly used sedative drug was diazepam. The reasons for not using dental sedation in clinical practice included a perceived lack of knowledge on sedation, lack of equipment, and cost. Conclusion: Most dental professionals in Tanzania have basic knowledge of sedation in dentistry, although knowledge regarding sedative agents is generally low. The practice of sedation in dentistry in Tanzania is very low compared to that in middle- and high-income countries. Inadequate knowledge, lack of equipment, and the cost of practicing sedation are the main reasons for not practicing sedation.

  • 현대의 패션의 다양화, 개성화로 패션 스타일을 구현하는데 있어서 모자는 더욱 부각되어 수요자 층이 확대되고 있지만, 다양한 재료와 형태로 세탁 및 관리에 어려움을 갖는다. 이에 본 연구는 모자제품의 관리방법에 대한 소비자의 현황을 조사, 분석함으로써 모자 레이블 부착의 문제점과 개선책 방안을 모색해 보고자 하며, 나아가 모자의 보관이나 세탁방법에 대한 정확하고 충분한 정보를 제공함으로써 제품을 오랫동안 유지할 수 있게 하고자 한다. 소비자들의 모자제품의 세탁 및 관리행동에 관한 조사를 하기 위하여 서울 및 도시에 거주하며 모자를 소유하고 있는 20대, 30대, 40대, 50대 이상의 남녀 395명을 대상으로 연령과 성별을 고려한 할당 표본추출방법을 통하여 설문지 조사를 실시하였다. 조사기간은 2007년 3월에서 4월까지 이루어 졌으며, 설문은 총 42문항으로 구성되었다. 모자 착용실태, 세탁방법, 건조방법, 보관방법에 관한 문항은 선다형으로, 모자 소비자 불만, 소비자 모자 레이블 인식에 관한 문항은 5점 리커트 척도로 측정하고, 자료분석을 위하여 SPSS 12.0 프로그램으로 빈도, 백분율, 평균, 표준오차, 교차분석, t-test, 일원분산분석 통계처리를 하였다. 그 결과에 의하면 첫째, 모자 소비자의 세탁방법 인식도와 실천정도는 보통 수준으로 나타났다. 남성보다는 세탁경험이 많은 여성이 모자 세탁 방법에 대하여 잘 알고 실천하고 있었으며, 편안함을 추구하는 젊은 세대보다 높은 연령대가 세탁방법을 더 잘 실천하는 것으로 조사되었다. 둘째, 모자 소비자들은 다른 의복 아이템과 비교하여 울세제로 세탁망에 넣어 세탁기로 돌리거나 손으로 직접 빠는 세심한 관리를 하는 경우가 많았다. 세탁빈도는 더러움이 탈 때마다 하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 세탁의 주 목적은 얼룩제거로 나타났지만, 여성은 남성에 비해 모자의 형태보전과 냄새제거를 중요한 요인으로 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 건조장소에 있어서는 그늘에서 건조한다는 응답이 가장 많았고 대부분 집게로 집어 빨래 줄에 말리는 경우가 많았다. 모자 세탁 시 세탁방법, 건조방법, 건조장소의 요인들보다 세제종류가 세탁 후 변형에 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되어 적절한 세제를 사용할 수 있는 정보를 소비자에게 인지시켜 피해를 줄이는데 노력하여야 할 것이다. 또 보관방법으로는 대부분 옷장 선반에 두고 있었으며 보관 후 형태변화 결과를 경험한 소비자의 비율이 높은 것으로 보아 적합한 모자 보관으로 형태유지에 각별한 주의가 요구된다. 셋째, 대부분의 모자 소비자들은 레이블에 대한 중요성을 인지하고 있으나 다른 의복 아이템에 비하여 모자레이블에 대한 신뢰도는 더 낮게 나타나, 공급자들은 정확하고 실질적인 레이블을 표기하여 신뢰도 회복을 기해야 할 것이다. 많은 소비자들이 모자의 치수 체계 이해에 어려움을 갖고 있으며, 특히 남성의 경우 레이블에 대한 전반적인 인지도가 낮게 나타나 남성 소비자에게도 전반적인 레이블에 대해 교육시키도록 구체적인 노력이 이루어져야만 하겠다. 후속연구에서는 모자의 다양한 형태나 재료에 따른 세탁 및 관리 방법을 보완하여 연구가 수행되어서 보다 구체적인 자료가 제공되어야 할 것으로 보인다.
