The statistical program was analyzed by using PSAW 18.0. Results : Research subjects' 60.2% experienced turnover. Its reason accounted for 31.7% with the working condition. As a result of examining difference in experience of turnover according to dental hygienists' individual characteristic and working form, the significant difference was shown in age, marriage, annual salary, working institution, and career. In consequence of confirming association between curricular subjects and job, the majority showed high correlation. However, the correlation with oral physiology, clinical dental hygiene, and dental clinics showed low correlation as the insignificant variable. Conclusions : As a result of this study, the high correlation between curricular subjects and job can be considered to reflect dental hygienists' job expectation.

본 연구는 국민건강영양조사 제4기 2차년도(2008) 원시자료를 이용하여 19세 이상 성인 6,094명을 대상으로 주관적인 구강건강인식과 관련된 본인인지 구강건강상태와 구강건강염려정도를 파악하고, 기존의 역학지수인 DMFT 지수, CPI뿐만 아니라 FS-T 지수, T-Health 지수를 포함한 다양한 구강보건지수를 이용하여, 주관적인 구강건강인식과 객관적인 구강보건지수와의 차이를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 주관적인 구강건강인식 관련하여 본인인지 구강건강상태는 49.4%로가 '나쁘다'라고 응답하였으며, 구강건강염려정도는 62.6%가 '신경 쓰이는 편이다'라고 응답하여 가장 높게 나타났다. 2. 인구사회학적 특성에 따른 구강보건지수에서는 현재 흡연여부를 제외한, 성별, 연령, 교육수준, 월평균가구소득, 간식횟수, 칫솔질횟수에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.000). 3. 인구사회학적 특성에 따른 본인인지 구강건강상태에서는 성별, 연령, 교육수준에서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 월평균가구소득, 현재흡연여부(p<0.000), 간식횟수(p<0.018), 칫솔질횟수(p<0.003)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 4. 인구사회학적 특성에 따른 구강건강염려정도는 성별과 현재흡연여부에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 연령(p<0.003), 교육수준, 월평균가구소득, 간식횟수, 칫솔질 횟수에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.000). 5. 주관적 구강건강인식과 구강보건지수에서는 본인인지 구강건강상태에서는 모든 지수에서 유의하지 않았으며, 구강건강염려수준에서 FS-T지수(p<0.003), T-Health 지수(p<0.011), CPI (p<0.017)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 이상의 연구결과로, 구강건강인식과 관련하여 구강건강상태를 파악하고자 할 때에는 본인인지구강건강상태보다는 구강건강염려정도에 대해 질문할 때 더 유용할 것으로 사료되며, 향후 단문항에 의한 주관적 구강강건인식에 의한 자기평가보다는 구강건강관련 심리요인, 자신의 구강에 대한 심미적인 요인 등 다양한 지표들이 포함되어 있는 다문항적인 주관적 구강건강인식척도가 개발되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
