First, frequency and percentage were used in order to know the subjects' normal characters. Second, Chi-square test was taken in order to know how smoking impacts on body related to knowledge of oral disease. The level of statistical significance for testing was 0.05, 0.01, 0.001. Result: According to the result, to the question that what diseases does smoking cause, 95.5% of respondents answered lung cancer, followed by 91% periodontal disease, 90.8% respiratory diseases, and 86.3% life shortening.

As for the career of the dental hygienists with emergency situation experiences and ways of emergency coping, their career had a statistically significant relationship to making a report to dentists. Concerning the form of workplace and how to cope with emergency situations, whether dentists gave first aid or not had a statistically significant relationship to that. 2.

In this study a survey was conducted with 431 students at the department of dental hygiene in three regions from April 2010 to investigate various actual states and levels of perception of their major. Emotional stress coping types and levels of perceived inertia were classified and described through cross-tabulation analysis; multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to predict the level of helplessness perceived for stress coping type and identify its influence. This study was conducted to get a phenomenal understanding of students' learning in the major field and school life. With the recent increase in the personal sense of psychological satisfaction and the needs for well-being, if operators and managers make an approach in the aspect of rational care for students, the results of this study will provide an important clue to prevent social loss of professional manpower.
