The subjects in the questionnaire survey were 275 dental hygienists in the Mokpo from October 7 to October 14, 2016. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Ver. 18.0. According to the analysis of the job performance, and job importance of preventive dental care tasks, the total score of 3.35±0.60, 3.85±0.51, respectively. Job performance was highest in scaling (4.24±0.90), and lowest in oral microbiological examination (2.40±1.14). Job importance was highest in scaling (4.49±0.77), and lowest in oral microbiological examination(3.04±0.85). As a result of analyzing the job satisfaction of preventive dental care tasks, the overall average was 3.23±0.40 out of 5 points. Patient relationship was the highest (3.71±0.66), working environment 3.55±0.77, staff relation 3.48±0.63, dental organization 3.27±0.73, professional support 3.21±0.67 and prospect of career 3.13 ± 0.58. remuneration 2.80±0.58, and workload 2.68±0.57, respectively. The correlation coefficients were 0.263 (job performance and job satisfaction), 0.211 (job importance and job satisfaction), and 0.461 (job performance and job importance) statistically significantly. The results of this study suggest that the higher job performance and job importance in preventive dental treatment, the more job satisfaction. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the dental hygienist's preventive dental treatment tasks and provide educational support to do this. Also, it is necessary to develop an oral preventive management program to improve the professionalism of the dental hygienist and improve job satisfaction.

Objectives: We examined health care disparities in Korean urban homeless people and individual characteristics associated with the utilization of health care. Methods: We selected a sample of 203 homeless individuals at streets, shelters, and drop-in centers in Seoul and Daejeon by a quota sampling method. We surveyed demographic information, information related to using health care, and health status with a questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was adopted to identify factors associated with using health care and to reveal health care disparities within the Korean urban homeless population. Results: Among 203 respondents, 89 reported that they had visited health care providers at least once in the past 6 months. Twenty persons (22.5%) in the group that used health care (n = 89) reported feeling discriminated against. After adjustment for age, sex, marital status, educational level, monthly income, perceived health status, Beck Depression Inventory score, homeless period, and other covariates, three factors were significantly associated with medical utilization: female sex (adjusted odds ratio [aOR, 15.95; 95% CI, 3.97 to 64.04], having three or more diseases (aOR, 24.58; 95% CI, 4.23 to 142.78), and non-street residency (aOR, 11.39; 95% CI, 3.58 to 36.24). Conclusions: Health care disparities in Seoul and Daejeon homeless exist in terms of the main place to stay, physical illnesses, and gender. Under the current homeless support system in South Korea, street homeless have poorer accessibility to health care versus non-street homeless. To provide equitable medical aid for homeless people, strategies to overcome barriers against health care for the street homeless are needed.

Evaluating the effectiveness of educational programs involves measuring learning processes as well as outcomes. It is essential to study cohorts of students and graduates to evaluate the long-term effects of educational programs with data generated both during education and after graduation. The purpose of this study was to establish cohorts of students and graduates to evaluate their performance, thereby providing a basis for evaluating the social accountability of medical education. In this study, student and graduate cohorts were built for both students currently enrolled and graduates at Inje University College of Medicine (IUCM). A model involving the process of cohort establishment and an evaluation indicator framework was developed. In the process of cohort establishment, the following steps were conducted: defining the goals and objectives of the student and graduate cohorts, organizing a cohort committee, developing regulations, registering cohorts, acquiring consent, and building a database. A framework of evaluation indicators according to the graduate roles of IUCM was developed by adapting Kirkpatrick's evaluation model. Next, items to be collected in student and graduate cohorts were selected, and the current status of existing data was analyzed. Moreover, a preliminary analysis was conducted, including analyses of the evaluation indicators and graduates' performance. This study suggests that it is necessary to include additional evaluation indicators considering students' learning environment and well-being in student cohorts and to develop strategies or methods for graduates to continue participating in data collection for a long-term study.
