Mi Ja Cho, Min Ji Kim, Woo A Cho
Abstract
Since legal regulations of the nail art are not properly made out, many hygiene problems occur both in customers and nail artists and it brings about their safe problems in a nail shop. This study examined 365 nail shop workers nationwide to analyze the actual state of their hygiene education. The findings suggest that married nail shop works of thirties and over were increased and most nail shops were operated on a small scale. Surprisingly, 76.4% of nail shop workers had never received hygiene education during their working in nail shops It is partly because most nail art certificates are issued by private institutions, not by national ones and it results in negligence of management, suggesting that the nail art certificate system should be included in the beauty artist certificate program controlled by the government. Also, minium description in the Public Health Act is problematic. Of 86 nail shop workers who received hygiene education during their working, the commonest place to be educated was a nail shop they worked and they were commonly educated more than once per month. The common source of obtaining nail art hygiene information was beauty-related seminars and 14.5% responded no source of obtaining. 81.1% of nail shop workers indicated the need of hygiene education, suggesting that systematic hygiene education should be given. In conclusion, it is suggested that nail art hygiene education is necessary for nail shop workers to have more opportunities to access to knowledge and practice for nail art hygiene.
