Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze in depth the standardized Clinical dental hygiene curriculum of the Fones School in the United States. We investigated the clinical dental hygiene curriculum in 2015~2016 including title, credit, hours, contents, goals, competencies, and evaluation. We obtained the course syllabus and data related to each subject, for each grade, from the professors and students at the university. The goals and competencies, of the clinical dental hygiene program, which were based on the goals of the Fones School and the mission of the University of Bridgeport, were developed in accordance with the dental hygienist practice standards proposed by the American Dental Hygienists Association. The curriculum consisted of theory to teach proper dental hygiene care procedures and incorporated practical exercises that modeled an actual clinical setting. The students had to document the procedures performed for each client/patient and improve their clinical competency through discussion with the professors. Dental hygiene care should be provided for children, adolescents, adults, elderly, and patients, which includes patients with moderate or severe periodontal status. Students were evaluated by a paper test or case study presentation and their clinical evaluation was based on their clinical competency. In particular, professors evaluated students on a rotational basis, so they could evaluate the level of achievement of clinical competency of all students and find ways to improve any weaknesses. Therefore, the current study suggested that clinical dental hygiene program in Korea could be improved if based on the curriculum of Fones School in the United States.

본 연구에서는 국제적인 치위생계의 임상실무와 교육의 표준인 치위생 관리 과정을 기반으로 표준화된 치위생 교육기관인 미국 폰즈스쿨의 임상치위생학 교육과정에 대해 심층분석 함으로써 국내 실정에 맞는 임상치위생학 교육과정의 표준화 방안에 대해 고찰해 보고자 하였다. 2015~2016년 폰즈스쿨의 임상치위생학은 모두 'Dental Hygiene Clinical Practice (DHYG)'라는 과목명으로 운영되었고, 실습의 비중이 매우 컸으며, 실습강의는 교수 1명당 학생 5명이 한 팀으로 운영되었다. 폰즈스쿨의 학과 목표는 브릿지포트 대학교의 미션에 따라 설정되었고, 폰즈스쿨의 임상치위생학 교육목표 또한 폰즈스쿨의 학과 목표에 기반하여 설정되었다. 또한, 임상치위생학의 교육목표는 ADHA에서 제시한 치위생임상 실무표준에 따라 개발되었고, 이를 기반으로 임상치위생학 교육을 통해 달성해야 하는 임상 핵심역량과 세부역량을 제시하고 있었다. 임상치위생학 교육내용은 다양한 대상자에게 적절한 치위생 관리 과정을 제공하기 위한 이론 및 실습으로 구성되었고, 특히, 졸업 후 실제 임상 현장에서 수행하게 될 업무에 대한 실습내용이 다뤄졌다. 학생은 대상자/환자별로 수행한 술식에 문서를 작성하여 교수자와 함께 검토 및 보완작업을 통해 치위생 임상역량을 높이고자 하였다. 실습내용 중 치위생 관리 과정 실습은 필수적으로 어린이, 청소년, 성인, 노인, 특별환자를 대상으로 선정해야 하며, 구강 상태에 따라 중등도 이상의 치주환자를 포함해야 했다. 이론평가는 지필고사 혹은 사례연구 발표 등으로 이루어졌고, 실습평가는 주로 임상역량의 달성 정도에 따라 평가되었다. 특히 교수자의 로테이션 평가를 실시하였는데, 이를 통해 모든 학생의 임상역량 달성 정도를 파악하고 부족한 역량에 대해 개선방안을 함께 모색하는 과정을 수행하였다. 본 연구는 ADHA에서 제시하는 치위생임상 실무표준에 따라 운영되고 있는 표준화된 임상치위생학 교육과정을 심층적으로 분석함으로써 향후 우리나라 임상치위생학의 개선방향을 모색하기 위한 기초 자료로 제시될 수 있을 것이라 판단되었다.
