Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the perception of dental hygiene students of the transfer of dental hygienists to medical personnel.
Methods: A questionnaire-based survey was conducted on 237 dental hygiene students from March 2019 to July 2019. The questionnaire consisted of a standpoint and the expected changes and disadvantages, prohibition causes with the transfer of medical personnel, and items for the promotion of the campaign.
Results: Of the 237 participants, 98.3% agreed to the transfer of dental hygienists to medical personnel. The expected changes were ‘improving social status’, ‘license’s scope’, ‘improving pride of the dental hygienist’, and ‘public oral health’, in that order. The expected disadvantages were ‘no disadvantages’, ‘conflict with related occupation’, and ‘increasing duties’. The disability factors were ‘public awareness’, ‘conflict between dental hygienists’, and ‘opposition from related occupations’. In the promotional items of the campaign, ‘dental hygienists’ efforts’ had the highest frequency after ‘no idea’.
Conclusions: A unified strategy that could improve public perception without opposition from other related occupational groups is suggested.
