Objectives: The aim of this study was to propose a standardized guideline for clinical training courses among dental hygiene departments of colleges in Korea. This study comparatively evaluated periods and durations of the curricula and specific domains, credits and hours of clinical training classes, and institutions providing practical lessons, and calculated the total credits and hours. Methods: From August 15 to September 15, 2017, a literature review was conducted in dental hygiene departments of 82 schools around the country in order to investigate the current conditions of clinical training in each educational system. Furthermore, 5 colleges were selected from each type of educational system, and their credits and hours for clinical training were analyzed in subjects of practical training for clinical dental hygiene, practical training for dental clinic, practical training for local community dental health, clinical training, and pre-clinical level practical training. The total credits and hours were calculated on the basis of analysis results. Results: The findings revealed that the hours of clinical training classes and hours per credit for practical training in the dental hygiene departments as well as the practical training institutions varied between the colleges. In some cases, the hours of practical training were not indicated. Standardized clinical training in the dental hygiene department was allotted 675 hours, whereas practical training in local community dental health studies was allotted 105 hours, which totaled to 780 allotted hours. Conclusions: There was a significant difference among the colleges in terms of the current conditions of clinical training in the dental hygiene department. The literature review revealed that a total of 780 hours was allotted to clinical training, and this was significantly more than the standard (500 hours) set by the. Moreover, these clinical training hours were lower than in advanced countries or other health and medical treatment occupations. Therefore, efficient improvement is required in order to provide a timely guideline for clinical training.

문제 정의
본 연구는 전국 대학 소재 치위생(학)과에서 운영하고 있는 교육과정에 대한 내용분석을 통해 치위생 임상실습 교육 현황을 파악한 문헌 기반의 서술적 단면조사연구이다.
아울러 타 보건의료직종에서 간호학과의 인증관련 임상실습 현황에 관한 기존자료를 탐색하여 치위생학과 임상실습 표준안 개발에 참조하였다.
이에 본 연구에서는 치위생(학)과 임상실습 표준안 개발에 필요한 일부 기초자료를 마련하고자 학제별치위생 임상실습 교육과정 및 운영현황을 비교·분석하여 표준 임상실습 학점과 시수를 도출하였다.
제안 방법
또한 전국의 권역별 1개교씩 선정하는 것을 기준으로 3년제와 4년제 학제별 각각 5개교를 선정하였고, 교과목별 치위생학 임상실습교육 영역은 임상치위생학실습, 치과임상학 및 실습, 임상실습, 지역사회구강보건학 및 실습, 임상전단계실습에 대한 학점과 시간을 조사하여 치위생학과 임상실습 표준안을 도출하였다.
연구내용은 임상실습학점, 시간, 실습수행시기와 기간, 실습기관을 조사하였다.
이에 이 연구는 간호학과의 인증 관련 임상실습 현황에 대한 고찰과 현재 치위생학과에서 운영하고 있는 임상실습교육 현황을 전수조사를 통해 비교분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다.
대상 데이터
2017년 8월 15일부터 9월 15일까지 각 대학별 임상실습교육에 관한 교육과정을 기관 홈페이지에 공개된 자료를 다운받거나, 치위생학과에 직접 연락하여 연구목적을 설명하여 동의를 받은 후 해당 대학의 관련 자료를 제공받았다.
전국 대학에 개설된 83개의 치위생학과 교육과정을 전수 조사하였으나 교육과정이 불완전하거나 폐교한 3개 대학을 제외한 80개 대학을 분석대상으로 정하였다.
데이터처리
수집된 자료는 엑셀프로그램을 이용하여 학제별 임상실습현황에 대한 기술통계량을 비교분석하고, 단계별 임상실습 학점 및 시간을 분석하여 임상실습 표준 학점과 시간을 도출하였다.
성능/효과
1. 국내 치위생(학)과 현장 임상실습 학점은 3년제의 경우 10학점(27.0%), 6학점(19.0%), 8학점(14.0%),7학점(11.0%) 순이었고, 4년제의 경우 6학점(25.0%), 3~5학점(21.0%)과 8학점(21.0%), 9학점(17.0%) 순으로 나타났다.
2. 임상실습 시수는 3년제의 경우 20시간 이상이 7개교(13.0%)로 가장 많았고, 4년제에서는 4개교에서6~9시간(17.0%) 혹은 18시간(17.0%)의 순이었다.
3. 임상실습관련 교과목에 대한 총 학점/시수는 3년제의 경우 10.12학점/15.24시간이었고, 4년제의 경우9.76학점/14.1시간으로 나타났다.
4. 치위생(학)과 임상실습 표준안은 임상치위생학 18학점/36시간, 치과임상학실습 12학점/24시간, 지역사회구강보건학실습 3학점/7시간, 임상실습 15학점/45시간으로 도출되었고, 총 실습시간은 임상실습 675시간, 지역사회구강보건학 105시간으로 환산되어 총 780시간으로 나타났다.
본 연구에서 전국 대학 치위생(학)과 임상실습교육은 학제별, 대학별 실습수행시기, 학점, 시수, 실습기관에서 차이가 큰 것으로 나타났다.
연구결과를 기반으로 도출된 교외임상실습시간은 총 780시간으로 치위생(학)과 인증평가원의 기준안으로 제시된 500시간보다 훨씬 높게 나타났다.
임상실습은 3년제 5개 대학 중 D대학이 20학점/80시간으로 가장 높게 나타났고, C대학은 4학점/0시간으로 나타났으며, E대학은 2학점/18시간으로 나타나 임상실습의 학점과 시간의 기준이 마련되어야 하는 것으로 나타났다.
