Background: This study analyzed the differences in practice satisfaction, major, and willingness to work abroad among dental hygiene department students at K University in Gangwon-do based on their participation in international practicums. Methods: A survey was conducted on a total of 215 students through convenience sampling of dental hygiene students, and the final 214 responses were analyzed. General characteristics were examined. Major satisfaction and grades were measured on a 5-point Likert scale. And satisfaction with practice, intention to participate in international practicums, and employment were investigated by papers. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed on general characteristics using SPSS software (version 26.0). Due to the convenience sample, nonparametric analysis was used to determine satisfaction with practice and major according to general characteristics using the Mann-whitney U and Kruskal-wallis test. An independent samples t-test was conducted to determine the difference between practice satisfaction and major satisfaction depending on participation in international practicums, and Fisher’s exact test was conducted to determine practice satisfaction, willingness to participate in overseas internships, and employment. Results: Concerning future participation in international clinical practicums, 66.7% of students who had previously participated in overseas training expressed willingness to engage again. 40.9% of those who had not participated showed no intention of participating, and there was a significant difference (p<0.05). Additionally, 76.2% of the participants expressed interest in overseas employment, with this difference also being statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was confirmed that students’ satisfaction with practice and major increased through participation in international practicums, and that they had a positive intention to work abroad and participate in overseas internship programs in the future.

연구배경: 강원도 K 대학교 치위생학과 학생의 해외임상실습참여에 따른 임상실습만족도 및 전공만족도, 해외취 업의사의 차이를 분석하고자 시행하였다. 연구방법: 치위생학과 3,4학년 편의추출하여 총 215명에게 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 불성실 응답 1부를 제외하 고 최종 214부를 분석하였다. 일반적인 특성은 성별, 학년, 치과 아르바이트 경험, 부모님 합산 월소득, 해외여행 경험, 토익 응시 여부, 학교 성적을 조사하였다. 학과 만족도와 학교 성적은 5점 Likert 척도로 측정하였다. 임상실 습 관련 만족도는 임상실습 만족도, 해외실습 참여 의향, 해외취업 관심도를 조사하였다. 임상실습 만족도, 해외실 습 참여도, 해외취업 관심도는 ‘만족(참여)한다’, ‘보통이다’, ‘만족(참여)하지 않는다’로 재구분하여 분석하였다. 연구결과: 해외임상실습에 참여자의 임상실습 만족도는 5점 만점의 4.00±1.00, 미참여자는 3.75±1.02, 전공만 족도는 참여자 3.57±0.93, 미참여자 3.48±0.80로 차이가 있었으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p=.239, z=-1.177)(p=.570, z=-.568) 추후 해외로의 임상실습 참여 에 대하여 해외실습 참여자는 66.7%가 참여 의향이 있 고, 원하지 않는 참여자는 없었으며 미참여자 40.9%는 참여의향이 없었으며 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 해외 취업에 대하여 참여자는 76.2%, 미참여자는 19.2%가 관심을 가지고 있으며 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 결론: 학생들의 해외실습 참여를 통해 실습 및 전공 만족도가 높아졌으며, 향후 해외실습 및 해외인턴십 프로그 램 참여에 대한 긍정적인 의향을 갖고 있음을 확인하였다.
