Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the professionalism identity and related factors in dental hygienists.
Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 347 dental hyfienists from March 5 to May 31, 2015. Except incomplete 39 answers, data were analyzed by frequency analysis, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 22.0. The questionnaire comprised 25 items including professionalism scale by Hall, Snizek, and Anderson by Likert 5 point scale.
Results: Professionalism scale revealed self-regulation(3.65±0.58), service conviction(3.64±0.62), skills and training(3.21±0.70), sense of professional vocation(3.20±0.65), and thought about professional group(3.08±0.78). The professionalism identity by general characteristics showed significant differences and there were positive correlations in main factors. The identity level was influenced by internal factors rather than economic compensation.
