Abstract
Purpose: To establish basic data for effective management and quality improvement on clinical practice by investigating the clinical practice satisfaction of ophthalmic optics students and optical shop owners. Methods: A survey was administered for 281 students with experience in clinical practices and 105 optical shop owners regarding satisfaction of ophthalmic optics students and optical shops. And a statistical analysis was performed on the survey results. Results: 92.% (97 shops) of optical shop owners responded that clinical practice was necessary and there was a significant difference (p=0.004) according to gender. 4 weeks was the preferred length of practice period (53.3%) and there was a significant difference according to the size of the optical shops (p=0.000). Clinical practice satisfaction of students was 3.50 ${\pm}$ 0.68 and satisfaction for clinical practice program, clinical practice time and clinical practice shop (3.74 ${\pm}$ 0.80) were the highest and there was a significant difference according to the age of the students (p<0.05). Clinical practice satisfaction for optical shops was 4.08 ${\pm}$ 0.64 which is higher than student satisfaction. Satisfaction for clinical practice program was (4.17 ${\pm}$ 0.54) was the highest. Conclusions: To maximize the effects of clinical practice, a clinical practice program reflecting the satisfaction of students and optical shops is required and further research and attention are required.
목적: 안경광학과 실습생(학생)과 안경원의 임상실습 만족도를 파악하고 안경원의 임상실습 실태를 조사함으로써 임상실습의 효율적 운영과 질적 개선을 위한 기초 자료를 얻고자 하였다. 방법: 안경광학과 학생 중 임상실습의 경험이 있는 281명의 실습생과 안경원 원장 105명을 대상으로 임상실습에 관한 만족도 설문조사를 실시하고 통계 분석을 하였다. 결과: 안경원의 92.4%(97곳)가 임상실습이 필요하다고 하였으며 원장의 성별에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보여주었고(p=0.004) 임상실습 기간으로는 '4주'를 선호하였으며(53.3%) 안경원의 규모에 따라 유의한 차이를 보여주었다(p=0.000). 실습생의 임상실습 만족도는 평균 3.50${\pm}$0.68로 나타났으며 '임상실습의 내용에 관한 만족도', '임상실습 시간 및 실습업체에 대한 만족도(평균 3.74${\pm}$0.80)'가 가장 높았고 실습생의 연령에 따라 통계적유의성을 보여주었다(p<0.05). 안경원의 임상실습 만족도는 평균 4.08${\pm}$0.64로 학생들의 만족도보다 높게 나타났으며 '임상실습의 내용에 관한 만족도(평균 4.17${\pm}$0.54)'가 가장 높았다. 결론: 임상실습의 효과를 극대화하기 위해 실습생과 안경원의 만족도가 반영된 임상실습 프로그램이 요구되며 이에 따른 폭 넓은 연구와 관심이 요구된다.
