본 조사의 대상자 선정은 총 6주의 임상실습을 마친 경남, 울산지역의 일부 치위생과 학생을 대상으로 하였으며 보건(지)소 2주, 치과 병의원 4주로 자료수집 방법은 연구자가 직접연구의 목적과 취지를 설명하고 구조화된 총 200부의 설문지를 배부하여 회수된 198부를 분석에 이용하였다. 임상실습 시 경험할 수 있는 스트레스 요인 및 정도를 각 실습지 별로 파악하여 임상실습지도와 개선에 도움을 주며, 임상실습의 문제점을 파악하여 효율적인 임상실습 교육이 이루어 질 수 있도록 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 1. 학년별 치위생과 지원동기는 졸업 후 "취업률이 높아서"가 2학년 64.8%, 3학년 62.2%로 나타났으며, 학년별 전공에 대한 만족도에서 "만족한다"가 2학년 29.6%, 3학년 73.3%로 나타났다. 2. 학년별 보건소, 병의원 실습에 대한 만족도에서 보건소 실습의 경우 "만족한다" 2학년 46.3% 3학년 46.7%로 나타났고, 병의원 실습의 경우 "만족한다" 2학년 50.9%, 3학년 66.7%로 나타났다. 3. 보건소 실습 시 느끼는 스트레스 요인 중 가치와 이상의 학교실습과 보건소실습과의 관계에서는 현장상황과 실습내용과의 차이에서 "느낀다"가 50.0%로 가장 높게 나타났다(p < 0.05). 4. 병, 의원 실습 시 느끼는 스트레스 요인 중 가치와 이상의 학교실습과 병원실습과의 관계에서 "느낀다"가 54.5%로 가장 높게 나타났고(p < 0.05), 이론과 지식의 실제적용 어려움에서는 "느낀다"가 62.1%로 가장 높게 나타났으며 (p < 0.05), 현장상황과 실습내용과의 차이에서는 "느낀다"가 58.1%로 가장 높게 나타났고(p < 0.05), 활동분야의 관련분야 지식부족에서는 "느낀다"가 50.5%로 가장 높게 나타났다(p < 0.05). 이상과 같은 결과에서 임상실습시 경험하는 스트레스요인을 최소화하기 위해서는 실습지에서 학교에서 배운 지식을 환자에게 직접 적용시킴으로써 학습에 대한 흥미유발과 실습에 대한 만족도를 높일 수 있도록 실습생에 대한 프로그램개발이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
