Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate practice rate of dental hygiene assessment and to understand the performance ratio according to hospital type. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 195 dental hygienists, and the dental hygiene assessment items examined were 6 types of dental history, medical history, vital signs measurement, extraoral examination, intraoral soft tissue examination, andtissue examination. As a result of the study, the item with the highest percentage of performers was 92.8% of dental history, and the lowest item was extraoral examination 57.9%. And, dental clinics were higher than dental hospitals and university hospitals in all dental hygiene assessment categories, and in particular, performance rates of extraoral examination and intraoral soft tissue examination were higher in dental clinics. Considering the overall high rate of dental hygiene assessment through this study, it is necessary to discuss the legal work of dental hygienists and to reflect the insurance fee.

본 연구는 치과위생사의 치위생사정의 수행 실태를 조사하고, 치과의료기관 유형에 따른 수행 비율을 파악하기 위하여 수행하였다. 수도권 임상치과위생사 195명을 대상으로 설문조사를 시행하였고, 수행실태를 조사한 치위생사정 항목은 치과병력 채득, 의과병력 채득, 생징후 측정, 구외 검사, 구내 검사, 치주조직 검사로 총 6가지였다. 연구 결과 수행 비율이 가장 높은 항목은 치과병력 채득 92.8%였고, 가장 낮은 항목은 구외 검사 57.9% 였다. 치과 유형에 따른 치위생사정 수행률을 비교하면, 모든 항목에서 치과의원이 치과병원과 대학병원에 비해 높았으며 특히 구내검사와 구외검사 수행률이 치과의원에서 높게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 전반적으로 높은 치위생사정 수행률을 볼 때, 임상 실태를 반영하지 못하는 치과위생사의 법적업무에 대한 논의와 일부 치위생사정 항목에 대한 보험수가 반영이 필요할 것이다.
