Abstract

This study obtained licenses for dental hygienists and dental technicians and analyzed the data by sampling convenience as those currently working in hospitals. It was selected as the final data using 75 dental hygienist questionnaires and 90 dental technician questionnaires. The analysis found that both groups had high ethical values and that they were willing to serve if given volunteer opportunities, indicating a high sense of professional and professional mission. In addition, more than a majority of both groups surveyed said ethical issues would emerge in clinical activities, and that job ethics education was desperately needed. Measures should be sought to foster professional expertise by developing sustainable professional education and programs with established ethical foundations.

본 연구는 치과위생사와 치과기공사 면허증을 발급받았으며 현재 병원에서 근무하는 대상자로 편의 표본추출하여 자료를 분석하였다. 회수된 설문자료 가운데 75부의 치과위생사 설문지와 90부의 치과기공사 설문지를 이용하여 최종자료로 선정하였다. 분석결과로는 두 집단 모두 윤리적 가치관이 높게 나타났고, 봉사기회가 주어진다면 봉사 할 의사가 있음으로 조사되어 직업적 직업적 사명의식도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 조사대상자 두 집단 모두 임상활동에서 윤리적 문제가 대두 될 것임을 과반수 이상에서 응답했고, 이에 따른 직업윤리 교육이 절실히 필요하다고 응답했다. 이에 따른 윤리적 기반이 확립된 지속가능한 전문직업적 교육과 프로그램 개발로 직업적 전문성 함양을 위한 방안이 모색되어야 한다.
