Objectives.In addition to the theoretical training provided by dental colleges, clinical training is also important. The purpose of this study was to analyze data regarding the efficiency of clinical dental training by comparing and analyzing levels of satisfaction of dental hygiene student trainees with their clinical training.
Methods.From Sep 1, 2009 to Sep 30, 2009, questionnaires were distributed to students in 2 colleges in the Seoul, 1 college in Kyungi-do, 1 college in Chungcheongbuk-do, 1 college in Chungcheongnam-do, and 2 colleges in Kangwon-do. Data from 331 completed and returned questionnaires were statistically analyzed using SPSS (ver.12.0).
Results.Students in dental college hospitals were the most satisfied, followed by those in general hospitals, private dental clinics, dental hospitals and public health centers. Students in dental college hospitals were the most satisfaction with the educational curriculum, environment and time schedule. However, students had only a low level of satisfaction regarding their personal relationships with faculty. Students in general hospitals gave relatively positive reviews regarding educational curriculum and environmen. Again, students had only a low level of satistfaction with personal relationships with faculty members and instructional methods. In contrast, students training at public health centers gave relatively positive reviews for personal relationships with faculty and instructional methods. However, they gave low ratings for variety of practical experience and educational equipment. Students training at private dental clinics and dental hospitals gave medium reviews overall. Students at smaller dental hospitals were more adaptable and gave good reviews regarding personal relationships than did students at private dental clinics.
Conclusions.Clinical training programs should be improved by developing training programs in which students have better relationships with staff in charge of student education. Limitations of this study include difficulties in generalization of study outcomes due to a limitation of the number of subjects and the number of geographic areas surveyed.
