Abstract

This study was conducted through Google online survey from November 24 to November 26, 2021 targeting 276 students from the department of dental hygiene at a university in Gangwon-do. The purpose of this study was to investigate the infection awareness of uniforms, recognition of washing rules, and the intention to prevent infectious diseases through individualism and collectivist self-esteem. Statistical methods were analyzed using SPSS Statistics 24.0 and AMOS 21.0 as follows. For analysis, frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, structural equation, and ANOVA analysis were performed. As a result, it was confirmed that the models of uniform infection awareness, uniform washing rule recognition(p<.001), self-esteem, individualism, and collectivist intention to prevent infectious diseases were suitable(p<.001). Collectivism was found to affect the perception of uniform infection, the recognition of uniform washing rules, and the intention to prevent infectious diseases, confirming that self-esteem and collectivism had an effect on the change of perception for infection prevention. In the future, it will be possible to use the uniform washing method considering collectivism in infection control education of the dental hygiene.

본 연구는 강원도 일개 대학 4년제 치위생학과 276명을 대상으로 2021년 11월 24일부터 11월 26일까지 구글 온라인설문을 통하여 연구하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 유니폼의 감염인식과 세탁 규정 인식, 감염병 예방 의도를 개인주의 및 집단주의 자아존중감을 통해 알아보는 것으로, 향후 감염병 시기에 학생의 감염 교육 방법 모색을 위해 시행되었다. 통계는 SPSS Statistics 24.0, AMOS 21.0을 사용하여 빈도 분석, 탐색적 요인분석, 확인적 요인분석, 신뢰도 분석, 구조방정식, ANOVA 분석을 시행하였다. 연구결과 유니폼 감염인식, 유니폼 세탁 규정 인식, 자아존중감, 개인주의, 집단주의 감염병 예방 의도의 모형이 적합함을 확인하였고(p<.001), 구조방정식 결과 자아존중감은 개인주의, 집단주의 감염병 예방 의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다(p<.001). 집단주의는 유니폼 감염인식, 유니폼 세탁 규정 인식, 감염병 예방 의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 감염예방을 위한 인식 변화에 자아존중감과 집단주의가 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 향후 치위생학과의 감염관리 교육시 집단주의를 고려한 유니폼 세탁 방법에서 활용이 가능할 것이다.
