Abstract

Purpose: To establish basic data for effective clinical practice program by investigating the clinical practice importance and needs for ophthalmic optics students and optical shop owners. Methods: 263 students and 100 optical shop owners who had experience in clinical practice were surveyed in importance and needs of clinical practice and analyzed the results. Results: In general importance for clinical practice, realized the optician's job aptitude $4.29{\pm}0.72$ was highest among students and understanding the work of optician $4.48{\pm}0.52$ was highest among shop owners. Importance of specific duty for clinical practice, communication strategy & customer service was highest in both students $4.46{\pm}0.70$ and shop owners $4.18{\pm}0.86$ each. Importance of time & optical shop for clinical practice, supportive guide and education by opticians & shop owner was highest in both students $4.53{\pm}0.66$ and shop owners $4.35{\pm}0.59$ each. Importance of school support for clinical practice, administrative support for optical shop and students was highest among students $4.10{\pm}0.78$ and orientation from the school before clinical practice $3.98{\pm}0.68$ was highest among shop owners. In general needs for clinical practice, expanding the clinical practice field $4.43{\pm}0.73$ was highest among students and needs of clinical practice in the curriculum $4.39{\pm}0.65$ was highest among shop owners. Needs of specific duty for clinical practice, spectacle fitting $4.40{\pm}0.71$ was highest among students and ophthalmic dispensing $4.12{\pm}0.83$ was highest among shop owners. Conclusions: For effective clinical practice, clinical practice program should be develop which is reflecting the importance and needs of students and optical shop and also cooperation and interest of school and optical shop are required.

목적: 실습생과 실습업체의 임상실습에 관한 중요도와 필요도를 조사하여 효과적인 임상실습 프로그램을 만드는 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 방법: 임상실습 경험이 있는 263명의 실습생과 안경원 원장 100명을 대상으로 임상실습에 관한 중요도와 필요도에 대한 설문조사를 실시하고 통계분석을 하였다. 결과: 임상실습의 전반적인 중요도는 실습생은 '안경사 직종에 대한 적성파악의 중요성($4.29{\pm}0.72$)'이 가장 높게 나타났고 실습업체는 '안경업계 현장에 대한 이해의 중요성$(4.48{\pm}0.52)$'이 가장 높게 나타났다. 임상실습의 직무 항목별 중요도는 실습생과 실습업체 모두 '고객응대 및 고객관리 항목의 중요성'이 각각 $4.46{\pm}0.70$$4.18{\pm}0.86$으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 임상실습 시간 및 실습업체의 중요도는 실습생과 실습업체 모두 '업체 원장을 비롯한 직원들의 적극적인 지도와 교육의 중요성'이 각각 $4.53{\pm}0.66$$4.35{\pm}0.59$로 가장 높게 나타났다. 임상실습 시 학교 지원의 중요도는 실습생은 '실습업체와 실습생에 대한 행정지원의 중요성$(4.10{\pm}0.78)$'이 가장 높게 나타났고 실습업체는 '임상실습 전 학교 오리엔테이션의 중요성$(3.98{\pm}0.68)$'이 가장 높게 나타났다. 임상실습의 전반적 필요도는 실습생은 '임상실습지 확대의 필요성$(4.43{\pm}0.73)$'이 가장 높게 나타났고 실습업체는 '안경광학과 교육과정 내 임상실습의 필요성$(4.39{\pm}0.65)$'이 가장 높게 나타났다. 임상실습의 직무 항목별 필요도는 실습생은 '안경 피팅 항목의 필요성$(4.40{\pm}0.71)$'이 가장 높게 나타났고 실습업체는 '조제가공 항목의 필요성$(4.12{\pm}0.83)$'이 가장 높게 나타났다. 결론: 효과적인 임상실습을 위해 실습생과 실습업체의 중요도와 필요도가 반영된 임상실습 프로그램이 요구되며 이에 따른 학교와 산업체간의 협조와 관심이 요구된다.
