Abstract
The realistic problem about the dental hygiene education in our country is what the correlation between theoretical education and clinical education is short, and what the systematically clinical-practice education is failing to be realized. In order to solve this problem, the aim is to introduce preceptor and to present necessity in order to apply preceptor to the practice education for dental hygiene department. 1. What is the largest in the difference between the observation experience and the performance experience by element in clinical-performance activity is the patience-care service sphere(P < .001). 2. A hospital with the highest observation-practice experience level in children with the observation experience by hospital was in order of K hospital, Y hospital, H hospital, B hospital, and A hospital(P < .001, P < .01). 3. A hospital was the highest in the difference of the performance-practice experience level by hospital. And, the next was in order of H hospital, Y hospital, K hospital, and B hospital(P < .001, P < .01). 4. As for recognition on importance of clinical-practice activity in dental hygienists, the dental hygienists with more than the third year were indicated to be the highest than the dental hygienists with less than the 3rd year among 58 dental hygienists. Given seeing the results of this study, the more systematic and educational clinical-practice environment will need to be improved by suggesting a role of preceptor and to seek for a plan for application in the clinical-practice education.
본 연구는 치위생과 임상실습과정 동안의 수행경험정도를 파악하고 학습과정과 실습현장의 특성을 반영한 실습 프로그램의 개발과 프리셉터(Preceptor)제도의 도입방안을 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자 하였다. 8개 종합병원에서 실습하는 치위생과 학생 150명과 종합병원에 근무하는 치과위생사 58명을 대상으로 다음과 같은 결과가 나왔다. 1. 관찰 경험과 수행경험에서 기본진료 영역이 가장 높았고, 예방치과 업무에서 가장 낮은 관찰경험도가 나타났고 수행경험에서는 환자관리 업무, 예방치과, 치주과 업무 영역에서 낮은 수행 경험을 나타냈다. 2. 병원별로는 기본진료 업무영역에서 가장 높은 관찰 실습경험과 수행실습경험을 나타내었고, 위와 마찬가지 전문성을 요하는 업무영역에서는 낮은 실습 경험도를 나타냈다. 3. 치과위생사의 임상실습활동 내용의 중요도에 대한 인식에서는 3년차 이상의 치과위생사의 인식도가 전체적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다.
