Abstract

This research conducted a survey targeting 238 dental employees in Daegu Gyeongbuk region in order to improve awareness on danger risk of dental materials henceforth by analyzing the awareness on material safety health data (MSDSs) and working environment characteristics that influence thereon. Accordingly, the average score of importance per item based on material safety health data(MSDSs) appeared $3.98{\pm}0.59$, and the highest item appeared 'danger risk', and the average score of necessity in improvement appeared $4.34{\pm}0.57$. Average score of necessity in improvement appeared higher as the career increased, and difference in importance per item showed higher score in the target who worked in the dentist (p<0.01). This research expects that the employees of dentist hospital secure safety on chemical substances of dental materials and pay more attention on chemical substance material of dental material and the material safety health data (MSDSs) that explains this, in order to improve quality of working environment, also, the researcher wishes that concrete policy and institution would be prepared for the safety of dentist hospital employees' working environment safety.

본 연구의 목적은 물질안전보건자료(MSDSs)의 인식정도와 영향을 미치는 근무환경특성이 무엇인지 분석함으로서 향후 치과재료에 대한 위험 유해성에 대한 인식을 개선하고자 대구 경북지역에 근무하는 치과위생사 238명을 조사하였다. 물질안전보건자료(MSDSs)의 항목별 중요도의 평균점수가 $3.98{\pm}0.59$점, 가장 높은 항목은 '유해 위험성'으로 나타났고 개선에 대한 필요도 평균점수는 $4.34{\pm}0.57$점으로 조사되었다. 개선필요도는 경력이 길어질수록 평균점수가 높아지고 항목별 중요도 차이는 치과 병원에 근무하는 대상자가 높은 점수를 보였다(p<0.01). 치과위생사들의 치과재료의 화학물질에 대한 안전을 확보하고 근로환경 질의 향상을 위하여 치과재료의 화학물질을 설명하고 있는 물질안전보건자료(MSDSs)에 대한 좀 더 적극적인 홍보 및 교육이 필요하며, 치과 병의원 근로자의 근로 안전을 위한 구체적인 정책 및 제도가 마련되어야 할 것이라 사료되어 진다.
