Objectives: The purpose of this study was to define the concept of the community dental hygiene process of care and to develop competency-based learning goals applying the community dental hygiene process of care. Methods: Based on 12 references, the concept of community dental hygiene process of care was defined, and 393 learning objectives were derived to carry out the first and second categorization process. The 57 learning goals were classified according to the 15-week learning subject (once a week) for project learning. To evaluate the validity of the developed learning subjects and goals, 80 community dental hygiene professors were surveyed. The final learning subjects and goals were created by going through the process of collecting opinions from the 35 validity evaluation results received as responses, and opinions from 10 community dental hygiene professors. Results: The first and second validity surveys on the operational definition of community dental hygiene process of care showed 4.32 points and 4.60 points, respectively. As a result of the evaluation of the validity of the learning subjects and goals for 1~15 weeks, the average validity of the learning subjects was 4.44 points, and of learning goals was 4.32 points. Conclusions: The learning subjects and goals developed by applying the theoretical framework for community dental hygiene process of care defined in this study can be used as a learning guideline for learners to understand the theory of community dental hygiene area and to derive the standards of competence in the field of practice.

The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects(6 items), education service quality (27 items), and major satisfaction of students(23 items). The instrument for education service quality was adapted from Parasuraman and modified by Park & Lee. Likert 5 point scale adaptation included physical environment, reliability, responsiveness, certainty, empathy, class professors, administrative facilities, and school activities accessibility. Cronbach's alpha test in the study was 0.956 in education service quality and 0.951 in major satisfaction. Results: The education service quality was 3.1 points. The lower grade students tended to have the higher education service quality (p<0.001). The satisfaction to class professors was 3.2 points. The education service quality had a significant positive relation to major satisfaction. The satisfaction was positively influenced by physical environment, responsiveness, certainty, and empathy. Conclusions: A positive motivation to education service quality leads to major satisfaction. A variety of strategies are very important to enhance the education specialization.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to make a comparative analysis of the curriculum segment of the dental hygiene education accrediting criteria, one of the six segments of the criteria, and the curriculums of 26 colleges in a bid to provide information on the modification or improvement of the curriculums. Method : The curriculums of 18 three-year-course colleges and eight four-year-course universities were selected, and the courses offered by 10 colleges or more were categorized into three different fields to tabulate the courses: primary education, prevention / education, and clinical dental hygiene. After the courses were analyzed, some of them that were possible to integrate in view of dental hygienist duties were presented in this study as inclusive courses. Results : There was connection among the degree courses of the three-year-course curriculums in the field of primary education. The curriculums failed to keep up with the worldwide globalization trend. 90 credits or more were allocated to major subjects, which satisfied one of the mandatory requirements of the accrediting criteria, and two colleges provided theoretical and practical courses in the ratio of 50:50. A wide variety of personality-education and teaching-profession courses were offered according to each college's circumstances. None of the colleges was equipped with an inclusive curriculum, and there was a tendency for the three-year-course colleges to offer segmented subjects in accordance with the national examination. The courses in the field of prevention and education that are bound up with the job performance of dental hygienists should be integrated into dental hygiene and practice, and the courses in the clinical dental hygiene field should be incorporated into an inclusive course of 치과임상학. The integration of the courses will make it possible to ensure the successful articulation of the different school systems and to stay abreast with the globalization trend. Even just inclusive courses should give more weight to practice than theory to bolster the job performance of dental hygienists, and an inclusive curriculum should be prepared for students to receive activity-centered hands-on education in different semesters.

연구목적: 연구자는 아동 치과 주치의 프로그램에서 필수 서비스와 중요도, 검진 주기, 치과위생사의 역할을 알아보고자 한다. 연구방법: 최종연구대상자는 치과위생사, 치과의사, 치위생과 학생으로 총 124명이고, 자기기입식 설문지를 작성했다. 수집된 자료는 독립 t-검정, ANOVA로 일반적인 특징에 따라 그 차이를 비교했고, 이들의 관계는 Pearson 상관관계분석으로 분석했다. 연구결과: 검진 대상자에게 구강 검사와 방사선사진 촬영 등은 꼭 필요한 검사항목이고, 칫솔질과 구강용품 사용, 정기 검진의 중요성을 교육해야 하며, 대구치 실런트와 치면세마와 같은 예방 처치를 제공해야 한다고 생각했다. 또한 치료 서비스에서는 광중합형 레진과 GI 충전이 필요하다고 응답했다. 검진 주기를 치료보다는 교육과 예방을 더 짧게 해야 한다고 생각했다. 치위생과 학생이 치과의사와 치과위생사보다 검진, 교육, 예방, 치료 서비스가 더 중요하다고 응답했다. 구강검진과 교육 및 치료 간의 상관관계가 높았고, 필수 서비스와 중요성도 정(+)의 상관관계를 가졌다. 결론: 필수적이고 중요하다고 생각하는 구강 검사, 교육, 예방, 치료 서비스를 치과주치의 프로그램으로 어린이에게 제공해야 한다. 구강보건 교육과 예방관리는 치료보다 더 자주 제공되어야 하고, 그 중요성을 치위생과 학생뿐만 아니라 서비스의 주체인 치과위생사와 치과의사에게도 강조할 필요가 있다.
