A questionnaire survey was conducted on 209 dental hygienists who are working at dental clinics in Daegu city and the results were as follows. The average awareness on the 4th industrial revolution was 2.41, which is comparatively low. In each section, the willingness to education was 2.87, the influence to dental field was 2.81, the perception degree was 2.25 and the preparation degree was 1.72 which is relatively low. The awareness according to general characteristics, there was a significant difference from age and workplace in influence to dental field (p<0.05, p<0.001), from job position and academic degree in willingness to education (p<0.05). According to the study of correlation among awareness, influence, preparation and willingness of education to 4th industrial revolution. Also there was a positive (+) correlation in everyway, as awareness level is high, the degree of influence, preparation and willingness of education are also high.

본 연구의 목적은 미래 보건의료융합에 대비하여 치과위생사들을 대상으로 4차 산업혁명에 관한 인식도를 조사함으로써 급변하는 치과의료 현장을 대비하고자 한다. 연구대상은 대구지역 치과 병 의원에서 근무 중인 치과위생사 209명을 대상으로 2017년 8월 19일부터 9월 22일까지 설문조사하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 4차 산업혁명에 대한 치과위생사의 인식도 평균은 2.41로 비교적 낮았다. 항목별로 교육의지 2.87, 치과에 미칠 영향력 2.81, 인지정도 2.25이었고, 준비정도가 1.72로 가장 낮았다. 일반적인 특성에 따른 인식도에서 영향력은 연령과 근무기관이 유의한 차이를 보였고(p<0.05, p<0.001), 교육의지는 직급과 학위에서 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 4차 산업혁명에 대한 인지정도와 영향력, 준비정도 및 교육의지와 관련성을 알아본 결과 모두 양의 상관관계(p<0.01)를 보여 인지정도가 높을수록 영향력, 준비정도, 교육의지가 높았다. 결론적으로 미래 보건의료융합을 대비하기 위해서는 치과위생사들에게 4차 산업혁명과 관련한 다양한 교육 프로그램 개발과 교육기회를 제공하여 첨단 의료기술에 대한 관심을 유도하고 인식을 변화시키는 것이 필요하다 사료된다.
