The purpose of this study was attempted to analyze the factors influencing satisfaction on clinical practice and the Relationship between Achievement motivation and Satisfaction on clinical practice.
The subjects were 452 dental hygiene students of junior college in Korea. The instruments used the achievement motivation scale developed by Yong-Hun Park and the satisfaction on clinical practice scale by the researcher based on the Sook-Ja Lee. The data were collected from February 20 to March 11, 2000, by the questionnaire method. The data were analyzed by Frequence, Mean, t-test, ANOVA, Duncan's multiple range test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, Multiple regression for associations and Cronbach's Alpha for reliability using SPSS 7.5 for windows.
The result of the study were as follows:
1. The average achievement motivation score of subjects was 3.73.
2. The average satisfaction on clinical practice score of subjects was 2.95, which was a little low. The satisfaction on clinical practice were classified into five dimensions and their order of getting score was; content(mean score=3.43), guidance(mean score=2.91), hours(mean score=2.85), environment(mean score=2.72), evaluation(mean score=2.65).
3. In the relationship between the achievement motive and general characteristics, there was significant difference ― the students who are the olders(p=0.018) and studying in the evening time have higher level of achievement motive than the students who are studying in day time(p=0.008). Also the students who have high achievement of professional education(p=0.000) and the students who have high satisfaction of dental hygiene theory showed a higher level of achievement motive(p=0.000). It shows that the people, who try to develop themselves continually have a higher level of achievement motive instead of being content with things as they are.
4. In the relationship between satisfaction on clinical practice and general characteristics, there was significant difference ― the group which has more satisfaction of dental hygiene showed higher satisfaction on clinical practice(p=0.000) and the group which has practiced in university dental hospital and hospital than dental clinic showed higher it(p=0.026).
5. There was the positive correlation at a significant level between achievement motivation and satisfaction on clinical practice(r= 0.292).
6. The factors influencing satisfaction on clinical practice of subjects accounted for 14.2% variance satisfaction on clinical practice where the achievement motivation , satisfaction of dental hygiene , facilities of clinical practice factors appears to influence satisfaction on clinical practice statistically significant(p〈0.01).
As mentioned above, The level satisfaction on clinical practice of student of Dental hygiene was revealed to be low. For more efficient and desirable practice education, I would like to suggest that managerial program is required actively according to practice curriculum to study comparison with a field of study.
Also, The training programs to enhance private achievement motive should be developed concretely and actively.
