Objective: The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for the development of strategies to improve the learning effect by analyzing a reflective paper after the public health center practice of dental hygiene education.
Methods: From May 13 to June 7, 2019, 4th-year dental hygiene department students at B university in A city were asked to write a reflective diary on the practice after practice at the public health center, and the data were analyzed. The reflection logs submitted after the practice were analyzed using Colaizzi’s phenomenological data analysis method.
Results: As a result of phenomenological data analysis, the categories of change in perception of public health centers, rediscovery of the role of dental hygienists in the community, emotional experience, professional experience, practical system, and communication were derived.
Conclusion: Through the analysis of the reflection diary, it was possible to identify the psychological and internal changes of the students, and through this, the prejudice against health center practice was eliminated and the image of health center practice and health center staff was positively changed. It was also an important process to reflect on the role of a dental hygienist, feeling rewarded for the re-recognition of the work part and the tense practice time. Through this practice analysis, it is expected that the learning effect can be improved by fully understanding the role of dental hygienists in public health centers.
