초록

이 연구의 목적은 치과용 루페 사용에 대한 치과 위생사의 인식과 태도를 조사하는 것이었다. 치과 의료기관 및 보건소에서 일하는 180명의 치과위생사를 대상으로 설문조사를 수행하였으며, 치과임상에서의 루페에 대한 치과위생사의 인식 및 태도에 대해 분석하였다. 전체 응답자 중 4.6%가 현재 루페를 사용한다고 응답했으며, 38.9%는 치과 의료기관에 루페도입이 필요하다고 응답했다. 약 절반에 해당하는 대상자는 루페가 시력 향상(53%)과 선명도 향상 (44%)에 도움이 된다고 응답하였다. 루페 착용에 있어 가장 일반적으로 응답한 단점은 제한되는 시야 (39%)와 전반적인 의존성(38%)이었다. 대부분의 치과위생사들은 치과 진료에서 루페를 사용하지 않았음을 확인했으며, 루페에 대한 관심도는 매우 낮았다. 치위생과정에서의 루페 적용 및 그 효과를 입증하기 위한 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The aim of this study was to examine the perceptions and attitudes of dental hygienists on the use of dental loupes. A questionnaire survey was conducted to 180 dental hygienists working at dental institutions and public health centers. 4.6% of all respondents answered that they use dental loupes currently, and 38.9% answered that they need to introduce dental loupes in the dental clinic. About half indicated that loupes were a benefit to improved vision(53%) and Improved clarity(44%). The most commonly reported disadvantages to loupes wear were limited depth of vision(39%) and overall dependency. It was confirmed that most dental hygienists did not use loupes, there was little interest in loupes. More research is needed on the effects of loupes in dental practice.
