The purpose of this study was to examine the actual state of injuries experience and safety accident prevention in dental hygienists. This study surveyed the actual state of injuries experience caused by apparatus and materials through a self-administered survey of 366 dental hygienists. Statistical analysis was performed using PASW Statistics 18.0. Frequency, chi-square test, t-test, one-way ANOVA were applied in this analysis. The results were as follows: Out of the 307 subjects (83.9%) experienced injuries in the last 6 months, and 294 subjects (80.3%) chose the stab as the most frequent type of injuries experience and it was followed by incised wound, scratch and burn. In relation to the differences in injuries experience depending on general characteristics, there were significant differences depending on the age, career, position, dental treatment (p＜ 0.001) and the education (p＜0.01). In relation to the differences in the level of safety accident prevention practice depending on general characteristics, there were significant differences depending on the injuries experience, age (p＜0.05) and the types of dental clinics (p＜0.01). Therefore, We suggest to establish a systematic process for safety accident prevention in dental clinics and emphasize the importance of prevention through continued safety education be needed.

J Korean Med Assoc 2010; 53(6): 446 -453 R ecently, the health care system of Korea has grown bigger, specialized and modernized, but the healthcare workers physical well-being is pushed back on the priority list. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) involving days away from work per 10,000 full-time workers are 2.6 according to the statistics of Ministry of Labor, but it is much lesser compared to US statistics, which is 60.5. The smaller number is mainly due to the different method of calculation between Korea and U.S.; the proportion of all the parties of hospital care system is not calculated in Korea and the real portion is underestimated. Even though there was no exact figure regarding MSDs and occupational injuries, MSDs must be acknowledged that lower back pain and trip are most commonly developed due to an excessive strain and unstable position, and the important factor are acknowledged by their occupation, task, psychosocial factor; on the other hand, the occurrence of occupational injuries are influenced by the tenure, psychosocial state, and the level of education. In addition, for the treatment of the health care workers, its work-relatedness must be concerned, and prevention that takes their variable conditions into consideration can have a higher effectiveness.
