The main purpose of this study is to present practical data for the development of the health enhancing programs for the dental hygiene students. This data is based on the investigation of the psychosomatic self-reported symptoms of the dental hygiene students. Out of the random selection of the current dental hygiene students in Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do districts. We conducted a survey and analyzed the collected data from 432 respondents. The results are as follows: 1. The mental appeals (19.37) were higher then the physical appeals (17.53) and of the items in psychosomatic symptoms, the point of mental instability the highest (21.85); whereas, that of mouth and anal scored the lowest (14.59). 2. In terms of the religion, statistical significance was shown among physical appeals (p<.01), mental appeals (p<.05), multiple subjective symptom (p<.01), digestive organs (p<.01), aggressiveness (p<.01), nervousness (p<.01), and eye and skin (p<.05), mental instability (p<.05). 3. Concerning the living conditions, Statistical significance was found on the items such as physical appeals (p<.05), mental appeals (p<.01), depression (p<.001), irregular and life (p<.001), multiple subjective symptom (p<.01), lie scale (p<.01) and mouth and anal (p<.05), digestive organs (p<.05). 4. As for regular health check-ups, statistical significance was shown in the following items such as mental appeals (p<.05), depression (p<.01), multiple subjective symptom (p<.05), mental instability (p<.05).

본 연구는 치위생과 재학생들이 자각하고 있는 심신건강 문제를 파악하여 재학생들의 건강증진을 위한 프로그램 개발의 기초자료를 제공할 목적으로 경기도 및 강원도 소재일부 치위생과 재학생 432명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였으며, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 치위생과 재학생들은 정신적 자각증상(19.37)이 신체적 자각증상(17.53)보다 높게 나타났고, 12개 심신 자각증상의 항목 중에서는 정서불안정(J)이 21.85로 가장 높고, 구강과 항문(D)이 14.59로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 2. 치위생과 재학생들은 연령에서는 '20세 이상'이 '19세 이하'보다, 종교에서는 '있다'가 '없다'보다, 학년에서는 '3 학년'이 '1, 2학년'보다 신체적 정신적 자각증상이 모두 높게 나타났으며, 연령과 학년에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 종교에서는 신체적 자각증상(p<.01)과 정신적 자각증상(p<.05), 다자각증상(I) (p<.01), 소화기(C) (p<.01), 공격성(F) (p<.001), 신경질(E) (p<.01), 눈과 피부(B) (p<.05), 정서불안정(J) (p<.05)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 3. 생활환경에서는 '나쁘다'가 신체적 정신적 자각증상이 각각 18.11과 19.80으로 가장 높고, '좋다'가 가장 낮았으며, 신체적 자각증상(p<.05), 정신적 자각증상(p<.01), 우울성(K) (p<.001), 생활불규칙성(G) (p<.001), 다자각 증상(I) (p<.01), 허구성(L) (p<.01), 구강과 항문(D) (p<.05), 소화기(C) (p<.05)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 4. 건강검진에서는 '건강검진 센터'가 신체적 정신적 자각증상이 각각 22.26과 20.34로 가장 높았으며, '보건소나 무료 진료소'가 가장 낮았다. 통계적으로는 정신적 자각증상(p<.05), 우울성(K) (p<.01), 다자각증상(I) (p<.05), 정서불안정(J) (p<.05)에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 치위생과 재학생들의 건강상태를 증진시키고 이를 유지하기 위해서는 건강관리 방법에 관한 다양한 정보제공과 함께 대학의 정규 교육을 통해 건강관리에 대한 관심을 고취시킬 수 있는 프로그램 개발이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
