부산, 경남 지역 성인의 일반적 특성과 치과이용 특성에 대해 조사하였고, 치과위생사에 대한 인식도와 요구도를 파악하여 분석함으로써 바람직한 치과위생사의 정체성 확립에 이바지 하고 치과위생사의 발전 방안을 모색하는데 기초자료를 제공할 목적으로 조사되었다. 이에 임의로 선정한 부산, 경남 지역의 성인 300명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 일반적 특성, 치과이용 특성, 치과위생사에 대한 인식도와 요구도간의 연관성을 조사 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 치과위생사에 대한 명칭을 인식하고 있는 대상자는 69.8%였으며, 치과위생사의 교육과정은 대부분 전문대 70.5%로 인식하고 있었다. 치과위생사를 구별하는 방법은 42.5%로 복장(가운, 명찰)을 보고 판단하는 경우가 가장 많았다. 치과위생사를 간호사로 호칭을 부르는 경우 27.6%로 가장 많았으며, 치과의료기관을 방문했을 때 치과위생사로부터 받아본 서비스를 복수응답으로 물었을 때 예방업무 58.2%가 가장 많았다. 2. 치과위생사에 대한 인식도를 척도형으로 조사했을 때 이미지 요인은 '전문직이다'가 가장 높았고, 역할 요인은 '환자의 문제를 잘 파악하여 치료의 과정, 결과, 효과에 대해서 말해준다'가 가장 높았으며, 지식 요인은 '병원 서비스에 대한 친절 교육을 받는다'는 인식이 가장 높게 나타났다. 3. 치과위생사에 대한 요구도를 척도형으로 조사했을 때 이미지 요인은 '친절하면 좋겠다'가 가장 높았고, 역할 요인은 '업무전문성과 숙련도가 좋았으면 좋겠다'가 가장 높았으며, 지식 요인은 '치과치료에 필요한 주기적인 교육을 받으면 좋겠다'가 가장 높게 나타났다. 4. 50대가 치과위생사의 역할에 대한 인식도가 가장 높았으며, 20대, 대학교졸, 전문직이 치과위생사의 지식에 대한 인식도가 가장 높았다. 학생이 치과위생사의 이미지, 역할에 대한 요구도는 학생이 가장 높았으며, 주부가 치과위생사의 지식에 대한 요구도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 5. 종합병원이 치과위생사의 이미지에 대한 인식도가 가장 높았으며, 방문횟수 10회 이상이 치과위생사의 역할에 대한 인식도가 가장 높았고, 자가치료, 구강건강 관심도 '매우 많은 편이다' 가 치과위생사의 지식에 대한 인식도는 가장 높았다. 자가치료가 치과위생사의 이미지, 역할, 지식에 대한 요구도는 가장 높았고, 방문횟수 5~9회가 치과위생사의 이미지에 대한 요구도는 가장 높게 나타났다. 6. 치과위생사의 역할(${\beta}$=0.273)에 대한 인식도가 증가하면 이미지에 대한 요구도가 증가하고, 치과위생사의 이미지(${\beta}$=-0.144)에 대한 인식도가 증가하면 이미지에 대한 요구도는 감소한다. 치과위생사의 역할(${\beta}$=0.228), 지식(${\beta}$=0.205)에 대한 인식도가 증가하면 역할에 대한 요구도가 증가하고, 이미지(${\beta}$=-0.137)에 대한 인식도가 증가하면 이미지에 대한 요구도는 감소한다. 치과위생사의 지식(${\beta}$=0.224)에 대한 인식도가 증가하면 지식에 대한 요구도도 증가한다.

1. 조사 대상자는 총 128명으로 연령은 24세~28세가 71.1%(91명)으로 가장 많았으며, 임상경력은 2년~5년 사이가 36.7%(47명) 우세하게 나타났으며 일 진료환자수는 56.3%(72명)가 25명 이하이고, 대부분 치과위생사수가 3명 이하인 치과의원에 근무하는 것으로 조사되었다. 2. 감염노출 행태 및 감염방지처치실태는 응답자의 76.6%(98명)가 날카로운 기구나 주사바늘에 찔린 경험이 있으며 대부분이 즉시 소독하는 방법으로 감염방지 처치를 하며 진료시 감염은 경험하지 않은 것으로 조사되었다. 3. 감염방지교육 실태에 대한 조사결과 응답자의 75.8%(97명)가 감염관리에 대한 이론과 시술법에 대한 교육경험이있는 것으로 응답하였으며 89.1%(114명)가 병원의 감염 관리에 대한 교육이 필요하다고 생각하며 학생시절(49.2%, 63명)에 학교교육을 통해서(45.3%,58명) 경험하였으며 응답자의 81.3%(104명)가 감염방지교육의 확대를 주장하고 있는 것으로 나타나 학교교육을 통해서 뿐만 아니라 지속적인 보수교육이 필요하다고 판단된다. 4. 치과위생사의 감염방지 행태분석결과 의료용 장갑을 사용하는 비율은 24세~28세의 임상경력이 5년~10년이면서 치과병원에 근무하는 치과위생사일수록 높았으며 진료 후 대부분이 폐기하며 진료시 마스크를 착용하는 비율은 29세, 임상경력이 10년 이상의 경우에서 높게 나타났으며 근무하는 병원규모에 상관없이 높게 나타났으며 진료시 마스크 습기가 찰 경우 대부분이 교체하는 것으로 나타났다. 5. 환자진료시 보안경사용 및 기구세척 과 재처리시 고무장갑을 사용하는가에 대한 조사 결과 보안경을 사용하는 비율은 나이, 임상경력, 근무하는 병원규모에 상관없이 낮은 것으로 나타났으며 대부분이 기구세척과 재처리시 고무장갑을 사용하는 것으로 나타났다. 6. 진료감염방지 교육 경험자와 비경험자에 대한 진료시 감염방지행위의 차이를 분석하기 위하여 각종 감염방지행태 항목을 변수로 하여 독립표본 T검증(Independent -sample T Test)을 실시한 결과 대부분의 항목에서 진료감염방지 교육을 경험한 치과위생사가 진료시 감염방지 행위를 잘하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 7. 진료 시 의료용 장갑을 사용 및, 진료 후 의료용 장갑폐기, 기구세척 및 재처리시 두꺼운 가사용 고무장갑 사용의 항목에서 두집단 간에 유의수준 0.05, 0.01에서 각각 의미 있는 차이가 있었으며 나머지 3개 항목은 유의수준 0.05에서 의미 있는 차이를 보이지 않았다. "진료시 마스크 사용"에 대한 항목에서는 두집단 간에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았는데 이는 감염방지교육과 상관없이 진료시 기본필수사항으로 인식하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.
