Abstract

This study intended to identify dental hygienists' knowledge and extent of awareness and performance of patient's personal information protection. In addition, this research was conducted to contribute to medical centers' preparation of measures to strengthen the personal information protection by identifying the factors affecting dental hygienists' extent of performance related to the patient's personal information protection. After explaining the purpose and meaning of the research to the survey participants and gaining their consent, a self-administered survey was conducted from November 7, 2014 to June 30, 2015. The data on 210 dental hygienists in Busan city and Gyeongsangnam-do province was used for analysis. As a result, in dental hygienists with more than 10 years experience, the extent of the performance was significantly high (p<.05). In positions higher than a senior manager, the extent of knowledge was high (p<.01) and the extent of performance was significantly high (p<.05). In hospitals with more than 10 to 20 workers, the extent of awareness was significantly high (p<.05). Regarding the correlation of knowledge and the extent of awareness and performance, a high level of knowledge showed a positive correlation of the extent of awareness and performance (p<.01). As a result of a survey regarding what effects dental hygienists' knowledge and extent of awareness of patient's personal information protection have on dental hygienists' extent of performance, it was found that knowledge (.231) and the extent of awareness (.212) are factors affecting the extent of performance. Therefore, to increase the extent of dental hygienists' performance of patient's personal information protection, there is a need to improve the knowledge of patient's personal information protection and change its awareness. To change the awareness of patient's personal information protection, there is a serious need to carry out education targeting dental hygienists.

본 연구의 목적은 치과위생사들의 환자 개인정보보호에 대한 지식, 인식도 및 실천도를 파악하고자 하였다. 또한 치과위생사의 개인정보보호에 관련된 실천도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하여, 의료기관에서 개인정보보호를 강화하기 위한 방법을 마련하는데 도움이 되고자 시행되었다. 2014년 11월 7일부터 2015년 6월 30일까지 연구의 목적 및 취지 등에 대해 설명한 후 동의를 구한 뒤 자기기입식 설문조사를 시행하였다. 부산, 경남 소재의 치과위생사를 대상으로 210부가 자료분석에 사용되었다. 그 결과, 10년 이상 근무경력자는 실천정도가 유의하게 높게 나타났으며(p<.05), 실장 이상의 직위에서 지식이 높고(p<.01), 실천정도(p<.05)가 유의하게 높게 나타났으며, 10~20명의 근무자가 근무하는 병원(p<.05)에서 인식정도가 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 지식, 인식도 및 실천도의 상관관계에서 지식이 높으면 인식도와 실천도에서 정의 상관관계를 나타내었다(p<.01). 개인정보보호의 지식, 인식도가 치과위생사의 실천도에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과, 지식(.231)과 인식도(.212)는 실천도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 치과위생사의 개인정보보호의 실천도를 높이려면 지식의 함양과 인식의 전환이 필요함을 알 수 있었고, 개인정보보호에 대한 인식을 전환하기 위해서는 치과위생사 대상의 교육이 절실하다고 생각된다.
