Abstract

This study was conducted to provide the basic data for the prevention and management of health risk of dental technicians by proposing the necessary data in the management of the health related quality of life of dental technicians. The subjects of the survey were 141 dental technicians working in 30 dental technical laboratories and corresponding companies in Daejeon area. A structured self-entry type questionnaire survey was implemented by measuring the work environment from December 20, 2011 to January 31, 2012 at the same time. The total score of health index showed a significant difference according to the working hours and smoking state as the a factor of the individual level, the physical health index showed a significant difference according to the smoking state and the exercise habits as the factor of the individual level. The mental health index showed a significant difference according to the working hours and smoking state as the factor of the individual level. The significant variable did not appear in the predictor of the group level. In conclusion, the quality of life of dental technicians in relation to health appeared to have a larger effect on the factor of the individual level than the factor of the group level.

본 연구는 치과기공사의 건강관련 삶의 질 관리에 필요한 자료를 제시함으로써 치과기공사의 건강 위험 예방 및 관리를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 실시되었다. 조사대상은 대전지역 30개 치과기공소와 해당 업체에 근무하는 치과기공사 141명으로 하였으며, 2011년 12월 20일부터 2012년 1월 31일까지 작업환경을 측정함과 동시에 구조화된 자기기입식 설문지를 이용하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료의 분석결과 건강지수 총점은 개인수준 요인인 근무시간과 흡연상태에 따라 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였으며, 신체적 건강지수는 개인수준 요인인 흡연상태와 운동습관에 따라 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 정신적 건강지수는 개인수준 요인인 근무시간과 흡연상태에 따라 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 집단수준의 예측변수에서는 유의미한 변수가 나타나지 않았다. 결론적으로 치과기공사의 건강관련 삶의 질 수준은 집단수준 요인보다 개인수준 요인에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.
