Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between clinical prac-tice satisfaction, professional self-concept, and career identity among students of dental laboratory technology.
Methods: From September 1 to September 15, 2021, data were collected through self-questionnaires completed by 180 students with clinical practice experience. The collected data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 22.0 statistical program. Frequency and percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis were performed to analyze the data.
Results: The average scores for clinical practice satisfaction, professional self-concept, and career identity were 3.17, 3.03, and 2.46, respectively. There were significant correlations between students’ clinical practice satisfaction, professional self-concept, and career iden-tity. There were positive correlations between clinical practice satisfaction and professional self-concept and between professional self-concept and career identity.
Conclusion: Clinical practice satisfaction was found to play an important role in the forma-tion of a positive professional self-concept as a dental technician. Therefore, a clinical prac-tice program should be developed and implemented that can increase the satisfaction of clinical practice.
