초록

본 연구는 치위생과 학생과 비보건계열 학생들을 대상으로 인지-지각요인과 구강건강증진행위를 파악하고, 구강건강증진행위에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하고자 광주광역시에 위치한 G 대학의 3년제 치위생과와 2년제 비보건계열의 학생들에게 설문지를 배부 조사하였다. 수집된 자료를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 구강건강에 대한 인지-지각요인에서 자기 효능감, 구강건강통제위, 구강건강행위 혜택 인지정도는 치위생과 학생이 비보건계열 학생보다 더 높게 나타났으며, 구강건강행위 장애 인지정도는 비보건계열 학생이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 2. 구강건강증진행위의 실천 정도는 치위생과 학생에서 더 높게 나타났으며, 두 군 모두에서 높은 실천 정도를 보이는 항목은 음주와 흡연 절제이며 낮은 실천도를 보이는 항목은 치위생과 학생은 불소 함유 양치 용액 사용, 비보건계열 학생은 치실 사용으로 나타났다. 3. 구강건강증진행위와 관련된 변수 간의 상관관계에서 자기 효능감과 구강건강통제위는 구강건강증진행위와 유의한 상관관계를 나타내 이 두 변수가 높아질수록 구강건강증진행위와 각 세부항목인 요인 1, 요인 2, 요인 3의 실천 정도는 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 구강건강증진행위와 각 세부항목에 영향력이 있는 변수를 살펴본 결과, 요인 1, 요인 3, 전체 구강건강증진행위에 가장 영향력이 있는 변수는 자기 효능감이었으며, 요인 2는 구강건강통제위가 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 살펴볼 때, 구강건강증진행위에 가장 영향을 미치는 변수는 인지-지각요인 중 자기 효능감으로 나타났으므로 구강건강증진 프로그램 개발시 자기 효능감을 높여주는 방안을 모색하여야 하며, 구강건강증진행위별로 자기 효능감을 고취시킬 수 있는 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the cognition-perception factors and oral health promotion behavior of dental hygiene and non-dental hygiene students in an effort to find out factors affecting their oral health promotion behavior. After a survey was conducted, the collected data were analyzed. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. In regard to cognition-perception factors of oral health, the dental hygiene students were ahead of the others in self-efficacy, control of oral health and benefits of oral health behavior. The latter felt there were more barriers to their oral health behavior than the former. 2. As to the practice of oral health promotion behavior, that behavior was more prevailing among the dental hygiene students than the others. Both groups restrained themselves from liquor and cigarettes. 3. Concerning the correlation between oral health promotion behavior and related variables, self-efficacy and control of oral health had a significant correlation to oral health promotion behavior. Better self-efficacy and better control of oral health led to better oral health promotion behavior and better practice of its subfactors 1, 2 and 3. 4. As a result of checking the variables affecting oral health promotion behavior and the subfactors of the variables, self-efficacy had the largest impact on factor 1, factor 2, factor 3 and oral health promotion behavior, and factor 2 was under the greatest influence of control of oral health. Based on above-mentioned findings, self-efficacy was identified as the cognition-perception factor that had the largest impact on oral health behavior. Therefore how to boost self-efficacy should be considered when oral health promotion programs are developed, and research efforts should be channeled into finding out in which way self-efficacy could be bolstered in association with each kind of oral health promotion behavior.
