Abstract
This study aimed to assess dental hygiene students’ and other medical personnel’s knowledge of dental hygienists’ legal responsibilities. A self-reported questionnaire was conducted for 2 weeks from March 25 to April 9, 2017. One of the main questions focused on the legal scope of practice for dental hygienists according to current medical technicians. A total of 298 subjects’ responses were analyzed. We found that 62.1% of the respondents were aware of dental hygienists’ legal responsibilities. Of the dental hygiene students surveyed, 93.6% replied that they were aware of other medical personnel’s expectations. Responses to 12 legal questions were shown to have different distributions depending upon the level of dental hygienist education. Overall, knowledge of dental hygienist legal responsibilities was more comprehensive for senior students in each legal topic. However, few students (1.7%) answered all 12 legal questions correctly. In conclusion, dental hygiene students’ awareness of their profession’s legal scope should be improved. In addition, the Korean Dental Hygienists Association needs to more actively promote understanding of the profession’s legal scope as well as of medical personnel’s expectations of dental hygienists’ legal roles.
