Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical skill proficiency in the core dental hygiene competency of dental hygienists.
Methods: One hundred dental hygienists living in Gwangju and Jeollanam-do participated in the study. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics for ver. 20.0 (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA) for general characteristics, execution of core dental hygiene competency, frequency analysis of the questionnaire, and correlations of one-way ANOVA and Pearson were analyzed.
Results: The ranking of the core dental hygiene competency skill requirement was temporary filling and removal (3.43±1.40), toothbrushing education (3.38±1.36), and dental radiography (3.36±1.37). In relation to core competencies for dental hygiene by experience, temporary crown making, temporary filling and removal, removal and installation of temporary attachments, and infection control in 5 years or more were found to exist (p<0.05). In the correlation between dental hygiene core competency skill requirement, age and radiography showed a significant positive correlation, and experience and temporary filling and removal showed a significant negative correlation (p<0.05).
Conclusion: There were significant differences in the general characteristics of dental hygienists and educational requirements by age and experience. It is necessary to improve various educational programs and evaluation methods to achieve students' clinical competency in schools.
