Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between work environment and positive psychological capital on job embeddedness in dental hygienists. Methods: Data were collected from 263 dental hygienists in the dental institutions. It was then assessed by mean of descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and a stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: The impact of work environment was 3.35±0.46 points, positive psychological capital was 3.30±0.40 points, and job embeddedness was 3.34±0.47 points. The result of the stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that work environment, positive psychological capital and clinical career predicted 45.7% (F=7.35, p<0.001) of job embeddedness. Conclusions: Therefore, it is necessary to improve working environment and to strengthen positive psychological capital in order to increase the degree of work commitment in dental hygienists, and to encourage long-term service.

Methods: From March 28 to August 20, 2022, the study conducted in-depth interviews with nursing assistants working with dental hygienists in dental clinics. The collected data were analyzed using the phenomenological method. Results: The study analyzed the meanings associated with the dental clinical assistance work experiences of nursing assistants in dental clinics. A total of 98 semantic words and 9 sub-categories were extracted, which were ultimately categorized into 4 central meanings: 'imperfect reality', 'work without boundaries', 'putting oneself in someone else's shoes', and 'symbiosis'. Conclusions: The nursing assistants were exposed to an environment where they needed to perform delegated treatment procedures even when they lacked dental work competency.

본 연구는 치과위생사의 근무환경이 직무만족도에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 대구 경북지역의 치과위생사 382명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 부실한 응답자 9명을 제외한 373명의 자료를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 대상자들의 영역별 직무만족도 평균은 직업적 긍지 3.42, 업무능력 3.09, 근무환경 3.27, 보상 2.89, 동료관계 3.56, 환자관계 3.57이었고, 전체 평균은 3.30이었다. 2. 일반적 특성과 직무만족도의 차이는 연령과 교육수준 및 근무경력이 높고, 기혼자가 경북에 근무하는 경우 유의하게 높았다. 3. 근무환경과 직무만족도의 차이는 병원규모가 크고, 환자관리 및 상담업무를 담당하며, 월급제인 경우 유의하게 높았고, 연수기회와 장기근속자 대우로 보상이 주어지며, 기타 휴가가 있고 1년간 휴가일수가 많을수록 유의하게 높았다. 4. 일반적 특성이 직무만족도에 미치는 영향 요인은 학력, 근무지역, 결혼 순으로($R^2$=0.092) 학력이 높은 기혼자가 경북지역에서 근무하는 경우 직무만족도가 높았다. 5. 근무환경이 직무만족도에 미치는 영향 요인은 연수기회, 장기근속대우, 병원규모, 업무분야, 인센티브 순이었고 ($R^2$=0.217), 인센티브가 없는 규모가 큰 병원에서 환자관리 및 상담업무를 담당하면서 연수의 기회 및 장기근속자에 대한 보상이 주어지는 경우 직무만족도가 높았다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 치과위생사들의 직무만족도와 근무환경과는 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 직무만족도를 향상시키기 위해서는 현실적인 상황을 고려한 근무환경의 합리적인 개선이 요구된다.
