Abstract

Background: This study investigatedthe factors influencing the degree of education in the Department of Dental Hygiene at K University on the degree of education required for a convergence major related to the medical device industry. Methods: For 5 days from December 5, 2023, 257 students of the Department of Dental Hygiene at a university in Wonju Citywere surveyed, and an online survey was conducted. General characteristics, school satisfaction, satisfaction with majors, perceptions of multi-majors in universities, and the degree of demand for a convergence major related to the medical device industry were examined. Since normality was not satisfied, non-parametric analysis was performed. To confirm the differences in convergence major related to medical device industry education needs according to general characteristics, the Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test were performed. Post-hoc analysis was performed, and the median, minimum, and maximum values were presented. Multiple regression analysis was performed to confirm the effect on the demand for a convergence major related to the medical device industry, and the statistical significance probability was set at 0.05. Results: As a result of examining the factors affecting the demand for a convergence major related to the medical device industry, it was found that the more experience one has in completing a double major in college (p<0.05) and the higher the degree of satisfaction with the major (p<0.05), the statistically significant need for an interdisciplinary major was higher(p<0.05).

연구배경: 이 연구는 K대학교 치위생학과 학생들의 융합전공 교육 요구도에 영향을 미치는 요인에 관하여 조사하고자 시행되었다. 연구방법: 2023년 12월 5일부터 5일간 원주시에 소재한 치위생학과 257명 학생을 대상으로 진행하였으며, 온라인 설문조사를 하였다. 일반적 특성, 학교, 전공만족도, 대학 내 다전공에 대한 인식, 의료기기산업 융합전공 요구도를 조사하였다. 정규성을 만족하지 않아 비모수분석을 하였다. 일반적 특성에 따른 의료기기산업 융합전공 교육 요구의 차이를 확인하기 위하여 Mann-Whitney U test 및 Kruskal- Wallis test를 시행하였다. 사후분석하였고 중앙값과 최소값, 최대값을 제시하였다. 의료기기산업 융합전공 요구도에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 다중회귀분석을 시행하였고, 통계적 유의확률은 0.05로 하였다. 연구결과: 대학 내 다전공 이수경험이 있을수록 의료기기산업 융합전공에 대한 요구도가 높았으며, 의료기기 산업 융합전공 요구도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 살펴본 결과, 대학 내 다전공 이수 경험이 있을수록(p<0.05), 전공만족도가 높을수록(p<0.05) 융합전공 필요도가 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 또한 2학년보다 1학년이(p<0.05), 대학 내 다전공 이수 경험이 있을수록(p<0.05), 전공만족도가 높을수록(p<0.05) 융합전공 이수 의향이 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 연구결론: 이 연구를 통해 치위생학과 학생들의 의료기기산업 융합전공에 관한 요구도가 높았음을 확인하였다. 향후 보건계열 학생들의 융합전공 교과목 요구도를 파악함으로써 의료기기산업의 융합전공 교육과정 개발에 관한 후속연구가 이루어져야 할 필요가 있다.
