One of the biggest problems of Nursing Education in Korea is the division among nursing education programs of the last 3 and 4 years. To solve this problem, Nursing community must do variable trials to achieve the unity of a 4-year educational program. With this, we need to observe the phenomena and reality of the present 4-year nursing educational program that we have. The object of this study is to analyse and discuss that we have. The object of this study is to analyse and discuss the problems and future strategies of 4-year Nursing Baccalaureate program. 1. Problems as nursing department in Medical School. 1) Many 4-year nursing baccalaureate programs are operating under the medical school as nursing department. So the academic development in nursing department is unprogressive and is not approved as unique discipline. 2) The operating system between nursing and medical department are different even though they are in the same school. 3) Inequality between nursing and medical department : In many case, the nursing professor can not attend administraion committees to discuss the medical school's operation because of many differences between nursing and medical organization. 4) Weakness of the leadership and the student activities in nursing student : The nursing student involvement is usually passive because of the difference of curriculum, less number than medical students and the difference between 4-year and 6-year education program. 5) There is the obscurity of the relationship between department of nursing and other departments in whole university. 2. Problems in nursing itself 1) We need to reconstruct nursing discipline. We must change from the disease centered model to health centered model and life cycle centered model so that we can be distinguished from medicine. We also must change from hospital centered nursing to all population centered nursing, 2) The improvement of curriculum ; When the independent framework of nursing discipline become established, we need to improve the curriculum. 3) The education of clinical practice ; Most nursing school programs are divided into professors who are lecturing the theory and clinical teachers who are teaching the nursing technique in the clinic. So, what is needed in nursing discipline is that the professors have a dual position. In America, The professor is required to be a clinical specialist and to have his or her clinic so that the professor become a good role model, teach the clinical practice effectively, and give the student the practice field. 4) To extend fields of nursing : At first, the school nurse must become the school health educator, a real teacher. The nurse must establish and operate a childern's wellbeing center or nursery school, a disabled people's house or senile's wellbeing center, a mental health center, and a health promotion clinic for healthy people. 5) The name 'nursing department' need to be considered. When the focus is to be changed from the disease model to health improvement model, we take into consideration change 'nursing college', 'nursing department' and 'nursing profession' to 'health science college' or 'health wellbeing college'. 6) We must have highly qualified academic students. Each Nursing educational faculties must have the high qualified students through the development of nursing educational program and the increment of scholarship. The Korean Nurses Association and The Korean Clinical Nurses Association need to make an endeavor for the improvement of work condition and payment of clinical nurses of hospitals who consist of 70% of all nursing manpower. 3. Improvement Strategy 1) All nursing educational program must be changed 4-year program gradually. 2) Nursing department need to try to become nursing college. 3) We need to study many researches for improvement of the problem in nursing discipline and nursing education. We need more interdisciplinary researches, and we need to be granted for that research. 4) We need to have many seminars and workshops thoughout the whole country to expand a sense of nursing education. 5) Drawing up a policies plan for the nursing educational improvement : The Korean Nurses Association, The Korean Academic Nursing Association, Korea Nursing College and department President's Committee, and Korea Academic Society of Nursing Education must try for the development of nursing educational improvement and ask for government frame the policy to develop nursing education.

저자는 졸업 후 초등학교 양호실에서 학교보건의 유일한 전임보건요원으로 아동들의 구강보건교육과 관리 업무를 수행하게 될 간호학과 학생들을 대상으로 우리 국민의 양대 구강병인 치아우식증과 치주병에 대한 구강보건 지식 및 태도를 평가하여 향후 학교구강보건교육의 방향을 제공하고자 경기도 일원의 간호과 학생들을 대상으로 양대구강병에 대한 지식과 태도를 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 조사대상자들은 뜨겁고 찬 음식에 자각증상을 가지고 있으면서도 자신의 구강이 건강한 편이거나(36.8%), 보통(36.3%)이라고 인지하고 있었다. 2. 치아우식증의 원인을 불량한 구강위생관리(90.4%)라고 응답하였고 이중 94.1%가 잇솔질이 치아우식증 예방에 효과적이라고 응답하였으며, 잇솔의 모양이 직선이어야 한다는 것에는 40.2% 만이 옳다고 응답하였다. 3. 치아우식증 예방법을 위해 불소 이용이라고 응답한 조사 대상자들은, 불소 이용법 효과에 대한 평균 순위를 불소 첨가 수돗물 섭취(2.00), 불소 용액 양치(2.40), 전문가 불소도포(2.70), 불소 치약 사용(3.60), 불소 복용(4.30) 순으로 효과적이라고 응답하였다. 4. 치아우식증 예방법에 대한 지시기은 정기적 검진과 잇솔질이라고 응답하였으나, 구강건강을 위한 행위로는 잇솔질만 하고 있어 지식과 태도의 차이를 보였다. 5. 자신의 구강건강을 위해 잇솔질(94.3%)을 시행하고 있었으며, 아침 식사 후(71.9%)와 잠자기 전(65.8%)에 실시하고 점심 식사 후는 40.3% 만이 실시하고 있었으며, 1일 2회(35.7%)와 3회(37.6%)의 잇솔질을 실시하고 있었다. 6. 잇솔질(84.7%)이 치주질환 예방법이라고 응답한 조사대상자들 중 잇솔질은 치주병에 예방효과가 있는가에 대해 교직과목 이수자의 7.1%, 미이수자의 17.0%가 아니라고 응답하여 두 그룹간에 차이가 보였다. 이상의 결과들로 살펴볼 때 아동들의 구강보건관리를 책임지기에는 간호과 학생들은 치학적 지식이 부족하였고, 특히 지식과 태도에서의 차이가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 그러므로 날로 악화되는 아동 구강건강을 증진하여 건강을 보장하기 위해 현재 시범 실시중인 학교 구강보건실 운영을 활성화하고, 구강보건전문인력으로 교육받은 치과 위생사를 아동들의 구강보건관리를 위해 적극 활용하여야 한다고 사료된다.
