초록
본 연구는 치과의료기관 내원환자들의 치주조직건강 인식도를 알아보기 위해 서울지역에 위치한 2개 치과의원과 1개의 치과병원에 내원한 환자 212명을 대상으로 설문조사하였으며, SPSS 14.0통계프로그램을 이용하여 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 전체 치주조직인식정도는 3.40점으로 예방인식이 3.95점으로 가장 높게 나타났고, 관리인식은 3.09점으로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 2. 일반적 특성과 치주조직건강인식도 차이에 있어서는 성별과 직업에서 전체 치주조직건강인식도 및 각 세부영역별로 집단 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 3. 각 세부영역별 상관관계는 예방인식과 원인인식과의 상관관계가 가장 높게 나타났고, 예방인식과 증상인식과는 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 구강보건 실천정도와 치주조직건강 인식정도의 차이에 있어 잇솔질 횟수가 많을수록 스켈링 경험이 있는 경우가 모든 영역에 있어 통계적으로 매우 유의한 차이가 나타났다.
In order to determine dental clinic inpatients' awareness about their periodontal health, this study conducted a questionnaire survey on total 212 inpatients admitted in 2 dental clinics and 1 dental hospital located all in Seoul metropolitan area. Resulting data were analyzed using SPSS 14.0 statistic program. As a result, this study could come to the following conclusions: 1. It was found that overall awareness about health of periodontal tissues averaged 3.40 points; our respondents showed highest awareness on prevention of periodontal diseases(3.95 points), while showing the lowest awareness on maintenance of periodontal tissues(3.09 points). 2. For differences in the awareness on periodontal health depending on general characteristics, it was found that there were significant differences between respective groups in overall periodontal health awareness and its sub-domains depending on sex and occupation. 3. For possible correlations between respective sub-domains of awareness, it was found that preventive awareness had most significant correlations with causal awareness, while preventive awareness had no significant correlation with symptomatic awareness. 4. For differences in the extent of oral health practice and periodontal health awareness, it was found that the more frequency of daily toothbrushing plus scaling experiences led to more significant differences in all the sub-domains of awareness.
