Objectives: This study aimed to provide basic data on ways to facilitate effective communication between patients and dental hygienists, to improve the job satisfaction of dental hygienists, and to reduce the turnover rate among dental hygienists. Therefore, a comparative analysis of the perception of dental hygienists' emotional labor was conducted targeting patients and dental hygienists. Methods: Data were collected from August 1 to September 20, 2018, from 367 participants, including 216 dental hygienists and 151 patients residing in Gwangju, Jeonnam. Using the co-orientation model, their perception of dental hygienists' emotional labor was analyzed through the independent t-test and paired t-test. Results: With reference to objective consistency, patients showed a higher perception of dental hygienists' emotional labor than dental hygienists did, indicating that the former perceived the emotional labor more negatively. Regarding accuracy, there were significant differences in dental hygienists' response to six questions, while the same was observed for 11 questions for patients. Thus, the accuracy of dental hygienists was relatively higher than that of patients. Conclusions: To help dental hygienists perform dental health prevention activities more actively, consistently, and happily, and to establish commitment and professionalism in dental hygienists to enhance national dental health. Additionally, it would be necessary to sustain continuous research interest on measures for understanding the co-oriented relationship between patients and dental hygienists, and to solve the negative elements of dental hygienists' emotional labor.

본 연구는 치과위생사가 지각하고 있는 임파워먼트 정도와 직무만족도와의 관계를 파악하여 치과의료 발전에 도움이 될 기초자료를 제공하고자 2010년 3월 22일부터 4월 30일까지 서울에 소재하고 있는 일부 치과의료기관을 임의추출하여 재직하고 있는 치과위생사 256명을 분석대상으로 하였다. 설문지를 이용하여 일반적 특성, 임파워먼트, 직무만족에 관한 자료를 수집하였고, 수집된 모든 자료는 SPSS 12.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 연구대상자의 임파워먼트 수준은 3.63이었고, 근무경력, 연봉이 많을수록 임파워먼트가 높아 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 2. 교육 상담업무(p<0.01), 정규직(p<0.05)에서 임파워먼트가 높았다. 3. 연구대상자의 직무만족도는 3.18 이었고 연령이 증가할수록(p<0.05), 직무관련 정기간행물 구독(p<0.001)에서 직무만족도가 높아 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 4. 회귀분석 결과, 직무만족도와 유의한 관련성이 있는 임파워먼트 요인은 의미성, 자기결정성(p<0.001)이었다. 결론적으로 치과위생사의 임파워먼트 지각수준이 높을수록 직무만족도가 높게 나타났다. 따라서 치과조직은 효율적인 인력관리를 통해 조직의 역량과 효과성을 높여야 하며, 특히 치과위생사가 전문직으로서의 독자적인 의사결정이나 역할수행을 통해 스스로 임파워먼트를 증진시킬 수 있는 리더십 훈련과 다양한 교육프로그램 개발이 마련되어야 할 것이다.

임상치과위생사의 직무만족도에 영향을 주는 요인에 대해 파악하여 직무만족도 향상에 도움이 되는 기초자료로 제공하고자 실시되었다. 자료 수집은 2019년 4월 1일~30일까지 치과 병·의원에서 근무하는 임상치과위생사 182명을 대상으로 일반적특성, 직무특성, 전문직 자아개념, 자기효능감, 직무스트레스, 직무만족도를 조사하였다. SPSS 20.0 프로그램을 이용하였고, 일원분산 분석법과 T-검정으로 분석하였다. 임상치과위생사의 직무만족도에 미치는 영향 요인은 직무 스트레스(��=-0.324), 전문직 자아개념(��=0.345)에서 유의한 관련성이 나타났다. 이상의 결과, 임상치과위생사의 직무만족도에 영향을 주는 요인으로 전문직 자아개념은 높을수록, 직무 스트레스는 낮을수록 직무만족도는 높게 나타났다. 따라서 임상치과위생사의 전문직 자아개념을 높이고 직무스트레스 감소에 도움이 되는 프로그램 개발 및 적용이 요구된다.
