Abstract

This research purports to find out the factors that affect the level of emotional labor in dental hygienists. Data were collected from 204 dental hygienists working at 5 university hospitals and 55 dental clinics through self-administered questionnaire, and analyzed by statistical analysis using t-test, ANOVA, and regression analysis. The main findings of the study are as follows: First, the higher the educational level of dental hygienists, and the bigger the size of dental institutions they work, the higher the level of emotional labor of dental hygienists. Second, patient and environmental factors were found to have significant effects on the level of emotional labor. The above results imply that managers should try to make the workplace better environment which can secure appropriate workload and rewards, and support for work related education programs etc. It is also needed to educate the patients in order to prevent unnecessary conflicts between the patients and dental hygienists.

본 연구는 치과위생사의 감정노동수준에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대해 알아보고, 감정노동을 완화시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 수행되었다. 자료 수집은 수도권 내 5개 대학병원 및 전국 55개 치과 병 의원에 근무 중인 치과위생사 204명의 설문응답을 바탕으로 빈도분석, 평균차이분석, 상관 및 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 응답자의 인구사회특성별 감정노동 수준은 학력수준과 의료기관 유형에 따라 차이가 있었다. 즉 응답자가 4년제 대졸 이상일수록, 근무하는 의료기관의 유형이 치과의원인 경우보다 치과병원인 경우 감정노동수준이 높았다(F=-2.803). 또한 감정노동수준과 감정노동 영향요인의 분석에서 환자요인(${\beta}=0.221$)과 환경요인(${\beta}=0.327$)이 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 치과위생사들의 감정노동수준을 완화시키기 위해서는 근무환경 개선, 환자 및 보호자 교육, 심리상담 및 스트레스 완화프로그램 운영, 인센티브 제도 등을 적극 도입하여야 하며, 이를 위해 근로자 본인과, 상사 및 경영자, 동료, 그리고 환자 및 보호자들의 지속적인 공동 노력이 필요함을 본 연구결과는 시사하고 있다.
