치과의료기관의 질관리를 위한 환자만족도 조사의 측정도구를 개발하고 평가하기 위하여 3회의 설문조사를 실시하였다. 51개소의 치과의료기관이 조사에 참아하였으며, 1017명이 응답하였고, 의료기관의 유형과 자료수집 방법에 따라 5개의 표본 집단으로 분류되었다. 표본 집단과 응답자의 특성에 따른 측정값, 신뢰도, 응답편견의 차이와 효과를 비교하기 위하여 정규성검정, t 검정, 분산분석, 카이스케어 검정, Kruscal-Wallis 검정을 실시하였다. 응답 편견과 균형척도에 의한 신뢰도, 타당도, 척도판별력의 저하효과가 추정되었다. 1. 측정 도구 문제를 평가하기 위한 독립 표본의 신뢰도를 비교한 결과 4개의 표본 집단의 내적 일관성의 신뢰도는 비슷한 수준을 보이고 있다. 2. 두 항목의 균형 척도에 대한 긍정 응답 편견률은 20%이며, 교육 수준에 따라 유의한 차이가 나타났다(P<0.05). 3. 환자 관점의 질 평가 척도의 측정값은 독립 표본 사이에 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았으며, 연령에 따라 20대와 60대 사이에 유의한 차이가 나타나고 있다(P<0.01). 4. Likert 5점 척도로 구성된 총화평정척도의 평균은 4.16으로 좌측으로 편이되고 중앙값에 집중된 높은 첨도의 분포를 보였다. 5. 하위척도 사이의 평균차, 삼사분위값 대 일사분위값의 평균차가 95%의 신뢰구간에 포함되어 측정도구의 판별력은 매우 낮았다.

Objectives: This study is based on a visiting oral health care intervention program in the community care. This qualitative study was conducted through in-depth interviews to identify awareness and attitudes regarding intervention program among older adults. Methods: The research team visited the homes of the target older adults and conducted in-depth interviews for approximately an hour using a semi-structured questionnaire. The collected voice recordings were transcribed using Clova Note, and AI program by Naver. Using the 'Word Cloud Generator 3.7' program, words of high importance and interest from interview answers were extracted, visualized, and analyzed. Results: Participating older adults acknowledged that their quality of life related to oral health could be improved by increasing the level of oral health awareness and oral health knowledge through the intervention program. In addition, the older adults indicated that their oral hygiene management ability improved compared to before the intervention through expert oral hygiene management and oral health education. Further, as the level of oral health knowledge increased, so too did satisfaction with the intervention program increase. Conclusions: The intervention program for visiting oral health care showed a positive effect on the awareness and attitude of older adults. Thus, it is suggested that education for continuous competency enhancement of dental hygienists and multidisciplinary education for the improvement of general health and quality of life of older adults should be promoted.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was two-fold: to identify the effect of dental hygienist's self-determination motivation on their job engagement and to analyze the moderating effect of compensation satisfaction that affect the relevance. Methods : Data were collected using a structured self-report questionnaire administered to 260 dental hygienists working in dental hospitals and clinics in Busan, South Korea. These were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 26.0 and SPSS Process Macro 3.5. A frequency analysis, including the respondents' general characteristics, frequency, percentages, and standard deviations, was performed. A regression analysis was also performed using SPSS Process Macro to verify the moderating effect of compensation satisfaction in the effect of self-determination motivation on job engagement. Results : The self-determination motivation of the dental hygienists had a statistically significant positive effect on their job engagement, which was the dependent variable. Higher intangible compensation satisfaction levels led to a stronger effect of intrinsic motivation but a weaker effect of extrinsic motivation on job engagement. Moreover, higher tangible compensation satisfaction levels strengthened the effect of intrinsic motivation on job engagement. Conclusion : Recently, the demand for oral health care has been increasing, Competition in the dental medical service market warrants, high-quality dental services based on accurate diagnosis and treatment. In this context, dental hygienists' job engagement must be improved. For this purpose, increasing the satisfaction of dental hygienists with self-determination motivation and appropriate compensation is effective. In addition, attention must be paid to the moderating effect of compensation satisfaction on the relationship between intrinsic motivation and job engagement. On the basis of the implications of this study, the results can be used as basic data for improving dental hygienists' welfare system and manpower management.

사회, 경제적으로 발전하면서 환자들이 치과를 내원하는 동기가 다양해졌다. 부정교합으로 인한 안모의 개선과 저작 기능을 개선하고자 치과를 찾는 인구가 점차 늘어나고 있으며, 교정치료에 대한 관심의 증가와 더불어 수요도 증가하고 있어서 교정환자들의 치과 의료서비스의 만족도를 측정하여 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 파악하여 의료 환경변화에 대한 치과경영대책 차원에서 치과 의료기관의 수익성과 의료의 질적 수준을 높이기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 2005년 3월 7일부터 3월 26일까지 20일간 편의 표본을 추출하여 설문조사를 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 치과 의료서비스 만족도를 구성요인별로 비교한 결과 교정환자에서 치위생사요인 (4.21)에 대한 만족도가 높았고, 진료절차 및 대기시간요인(3.73)이 가장 낮았다. 2. 성별에 따른 교정환자와 비교정환자의 치과 의료서비스에 대한 만족도는 교정환자에서 남자가 여자보다 만족도가 높았다. 재이용의사에서는 교정환자의 남녀 모두가 비교정 환자보다 만족도가 높았다. 3. 연령에 따른 교정환자와 비교정환자의 치과 의료서비스에 대한 만족도는 재이용의사에서 교정환자의 모든 연령층이 만족도가 높았다. 4. 월수입에 따른 교정환자와 비교정환자의 치과 의료서비스에 대한 만족도는 교정환자가 치위생사요인과 재이용의사에서 고소득일수록 만족도가 높았다. 5. 학력에 따른 교정환자와 비교정환자의 치과 의료서비스 만족도를 살펴보면 치과의사 요인, 치위생사요인, 내부 환경요인, 외부환경요인에서 초등학교졸업환자의 만족도가 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 연구결과로 교정환자에서 비교정환자보다 치과 의료서비스 만족도가 높은 것을 알 수 있었다.

PURPOSE. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of sociodemographic factors on quality of satisfaction towards denture treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS. One hundred subjects (filling inclusion criteria) who were wearing a denture for at least two months were enrolled and divided into five groups on the basis of sociodemographic variables (age, gender, literacy level, socio-economic and marital status). Questionnaires consisting of 38 questions (positive and negative attitude towards denture satisfaction) related to patients' perception of clinical outcome in different domains such as mastication, appearance, speech, comfort, health, denture care and social status were scored by the subjects. Questions reflecting positive attitude were scored as 2, 1, or 0 (yes, uncertain and no, respectively) and reversely for the negative questions. Statistical analysis was done by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (${\alpha}$= .05). RESULTS. Level of denture satisfaction was higher in age subgroup belonging to 45 - 65 years of age in relation to comfort, health and denture care. Female and male showed significant priority for denture treatment because of esthetic and function respectively. Level of satisfaction was statistically significant with literacy level. Upper high income group showed significantly higher level of satisfaction only in case of social status. Married group showed significantly higher satisfaction level only with comfort. CONCLUSION. Patients' sociodemographic variables were influential factors on denture satisfaction.

Those who were in their 60 and up(47.5%) made up the largest age group, and the married people(65.4%) outnumbered the unmarried ones. By occupation, the company employees(20.3%) made up the biggest group. By education, the greatest group was high-school graduates(36.1%). By monthly mean income, the biggest group gained an income of 2.01 million won or more(36.9%). As to medical security, community-based insurance was most prevailing (36.9%). In terms of health promotion, the largest group worked out to stay fit(52.4%). 2. Regarding oral health knowledge, they had a good knowledge about the cause of dental caries(56.7%), but they weren't well aware of the right time for regular dental checkup(47.9%). In relation to oral health care, regular scaling wasn't prevailing(16.9%). 3. Regarding connections between the general characteristics and satisfaction with prosthesis, the less-educated respondents expressed significantly more dissatisfaction(p=0.015). By monthly mean income, those who had a smaller income were dissatisfied in general(p=0.028). Conclusions : The findings of the study illustrated that it's required to spread awareness of the importance of oral health among people in general, and that differentiated incremental oral health care should be provided for different age groups.
