Abstract


Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the awareness of the dental coordinators and the educational satisfaction level according to the educational period, to determine the effects of the education and the problems with it, and ultimately to suggest what improvements should be made.

Materials and Methods : A survey was conducted, for approximately a year and four months from March 2007, on the dental hygienists who were taking post-graduation dental coordinator courses and the students who were taking dental coordinator courses. The data was analyzed by ¥ö2(Chi-square)tests, t-tests and one-way ANOVA.

Results: The findings of the study were as follows: 1. As for the perception of dental coordinator education, every dental coordinator and the majority of the students (96.1%) recognized the necessity of dental coordinator education. The dental coordinators (26.1%) viewed the private institution curriculums as the best curriculums to nurture dental coordinators, and the students (39.4%) preferred regular college curriculums (p<0.01). As for the reason why they felt the need for sustained education, the largest numbers of the dental coordinators (38.1%) and students (45.3%) considered it necessary to receive systematic education. 2. Regarding the dental coordinator curriculums, all the dental coordinators and most of the students (94.2%) thought that the curriculums would be of use for future job performance (p<0.05). As for the necessity of a dental coordinator certification examination, the greatest number of the dental coordinators (85.2%) and students (89.7%) consented to the need for that. As a result of asking the assenters the reason for wanting dental coordinator certification examination, the greatest groups of the dental coordinators (46.7%) and students (74.8%) believed that it could contribute to bolstering professionalism (p<0.001). 3. Concerning the educational satisfaction level, the dental coordinators (3.66¡¾0.48) expressed better satisfaction than the students (3.34¡¾0.50). The dental coordinators were better gratified than the students in every regard (p<0.001).

Conclusion: The above-mentioned findings suggested that it would be advisable to provide dental hygienists with a certain level of a clinical career with education in order to ensure the success of dental coordinator education, to improve the national oral health and to bolster the rationality of dental office management. The development of the kind of system that aims at assessing the performance of dental institutions through the dental coordinator system is expected to stir up not only the motivation of employees, but also the organizational performance.
