A statistical analysis shows the following results using SPSS program. By medical center type, dental hygienists described the clinical practice of students as relatively satisfying. It also found that there is a positive correlation between stress zones, and they feel most stressed in the "Role and Activity" zone. Student hygienists felt relatively satisfied with the bedside training, and there is a positive correlation between stress zones except "Practice". It found students, who have taken the bedside training in all types of medical centers except dental clinics, felt most stressed in "Environment".

In conclusion, most of the dental hygienists are satisfied with students' clinical practice by pattern of hospital. Positive correlation was shown between stress factors. Behavior and attitude and ideal and value are high in stress in college dental hospitals, role and activity and treatment fields are high in stress in dental hospital, and interpersonal relationships are high in stress in dental clinics.

본 연구는 임상실습 시 병원형태별로 치과위생사와 실습학생이 경험하게 되는 스트레스 요인을 분석하여, 치과위생사의 직무만족도를 높이고 효율적인 임상실습을 계획하고 운영하는 데 기초자료로 활용하고 또한 실습학생이 전문적인 치과위생사로서 성장 발전하는 데 기초자료로 활용하고자 실시하였다. 서울 및 경기 지역에 소재한 치과대학병원, 종합병원치과, 치과병원, 치과의원의 치과위생사를 대상으로 2012년 3월 5일부터 6월 29일까지 설문조사 하였고, 경기도 경복대학 치위생과에 재학 중이고 치과대학병원, 종합병원치과, 치과병원, 치과의원에서 임상실습을 마친 학생으로 2011년 6월 13일부터 6월 17일까지 설문조사를 실시하였다. 본 연구의 수집된 자료는 SPSS 프로그램을 이용하여 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 치과위생사의 임상실습 만족도는 대체적으로 만족하는 것으로 나타났으며, 실습학생의 임상실습 만족도는 치과대학병원을 제외한 병원에서는 불만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 병원형태별 연구대상자가 느끼는 스트레스유형의 평균차이를 분석한 결과, 치과위생사는 역할 및 활동 영역에서 가장 높은 스트레스를 느끼는 것으로 나타났으며, 실습학생의 경우 환경요인 영역에서 가장 높은 스트레스를 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 3. 스트레스 영역간의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 치과위생사의 경우 모든 영역 간에는 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 실습학생의 경우 진료분야를 제외한 영역에서 스트레스 영역 간에 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 스트레스 요인이 만족도에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 치과위생사의 경우 역할 및 활동, 이상과 가치, 진료분야의 스트레스 영역은 만족도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났고, 실습학생의 경우 대인관계, 이상과 가치의 스트레스 유형은 임상실습 만족도에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.
