본 연구는 치위생과 학생과 일반대학 학생을 대상으로 치과위생사에 대한 이미지와 인지도를 조사하고, 분석하여 대학생활 중에 치과위생사에 대한 올바른 인식을 형성 시키는 것이 필수적이라고 생각하여 광주광역시에 위치한 G대학의 3년제 치위생과와 J 대학의 4년제 학생들에게 설문지를 배부 조사하였다. 수집된 자료를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 치과위생사의 일반적인 인식에 대해 조사한 결과, 치과위생사라는 직업에 관해서는 치위생과 학생들은 97.5%, 일반대학생들은 80.6%가 인지하고 있었고(p<0.001), 치과위생사의 의료법상의 위치에 관한 인식은 치위생과 학생들은 의료기사가 52.8%로 가장 높았으며 일반대학 학생들은 의료보조자가 48.8%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 사회적 지위는 두 집단 모두에서 '보통이다'가 가장 높게 나타났다(p<0.001). 2. 치과위생사의 주요 업무에 관한 인식에 대해 조사한 결과, 치위생과 학생들은 X-ray촬영과 스켈링이 42.3%로 가장 높았고, 일반대학 학생들이 생각하는 주요업무는 치과의사의 진료보조 업무가 32.9%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 3. 치과위생사의 이미지에 관한 인식은 치위생과 학생들은 '전문직이다'라는 인식(4.05)이 가장 높았고, 부정적 이미지(3.05)가 가장 낮게 나타났으며, 일반학과 학생에서도 '전문직이다'라는 인식(3.43)이 가장 높았고, 부정적 이미지(2.91)가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 모든 항목에서 치위생과 학생과 일반대학 학생 간에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 이상의 연구결과를 바탕으로 치위생과 학생들과 일반대학 학생들의 치과위생사에 대한 의료법상 위치에 관한 인식과 주요 업무에 대한 인식 정도가 다르게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 일반대학 학생들에게 바람직한 치과위생사의 이미지를 정립하고 치과위생사에 대한 올바른 인식과 업무에 대한 인지도를 높이기 위한 홍보 및 교육이 모두 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
