Methodology: We examine case study that dental clinic preventive service of local dental clinic. Following the double diamond design four steps(①discover, ②define, ③develop, ④deliver), we use suitable analytic tools in each steps. In discover step, we perform observation and desk research. Next, in define step, affinity diagram, user persona, and user journey map are performed. We then make service blueprint in develop step. Finally, in deliver step, virtual scenario and confirm some outputs which are based on results of former steps are suggested. Findings: As a result of this study, waiting and consulting phases turn out that these phases are in the most trouble than others. Users(patients) have lots of complain and dissatisfaction in these phases. These touch-points will have to be modified Practical Implication: After checking this study result, it could suggest improvement schemes. To apply these, we try to make some scenarios, and finally realize some outputs. Service design has arisen to strengthen the competitiveness by reflecting user's experience and needs. Especially, service design is not typical, it is so flexible that can apply to various situation and objects. We hope that result of this study is made good use for dental clinics in need.

본 연구는 수도권에 거주하는 서비스직 아르바이트 중인 대학생 150명, 비서비스직인 대학생 150명을 대상으로 2018년 4월 26일부터 5월 5일까지 자가구취인식도가 구강보건관리실천도에 미치는 영향력 알아보고자 설문조사를 실시한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 서비스직군에서 칫솔질을 하는 목적은 '충치와 잇몸병 예방'과 '구취' 항목이 주를 이룬 반면, 비서비스직군에서는 '충치와 잇몸병 예방'과 '상쾌한 기분' 항목에 가장 많은 응답을 한 것으로 나타났다(x²=18.21, p<0.001). 2. 서비스직군과 비서비스직군 모두에서 구취의 원인은 백태와 음식물이 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다(x²=10.95, p=0.027). 3. 서비스직 유무에 따른 자가구취인식도와 구강보건관리실천도의 평균분석에 따르면, 서비스직군에서 모든값이 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.001). 4. 자가구취인식과 구강보건관리실천도는 음의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다(γ=-0.11, p<0.05). 5. 성별과 학년을 보정한 회귀분석모델에서, 자가구취인식도가 한 단위 증가하면 구강보건관리실천도는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다(Beta=-0.185, p=0.02). 이상과 같이 서비스직 유무에 따른 아르바이트 종사자 대학생을 대상으로 자가구취인식도가 구강보건관리 실천도에 미치는 영향을 확인해 본 결과, 서비스직 아르바이트에 종사하는 대학생의 자가구취인식도가 높을수록 구강보건관리실천도에 미치는 영향이 증가하는 것을 근거로 서비스직 종사자의 구강건강향상 및 증진을 위한 구강건강 프로그램 및 홍보등의 체계적인 개입이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This study involved an investigation of perception of dental hygienists based on a self-reported survey of a sample of 230health care personnel working at long-term care hospitals located in Gyeonggi Province, Korea. The primary objective was to provide basic data for establishing various policies related to building up a positive image of dental hygienists as a profession. The results were as follows. 79.1% of the respondents recognized dental hygienists as a profession. Among the titles for a dental hygienist, "teacher" was the most common with 47.4% of all. Female respondents and respondents who were able to discern between dental hygienists and nursing assistants were more likely to perceive dental hygienists positively than male respondents and ones who were not, respectively.
