Abstract

This study targeted 501 the elderly ages 65 or over in three places including the Senior Welfare Center and the college for seniors located in Daegu City and Gyeongsangbuk-do. The study results on the preference for oral health care management items across different ages showed that the age group of 65~69 fluoride application; the age group of 65~74 scaling and education of brushing; the age group of 70~74 denture cleaning and maintenance; the age group of 75 denture production. In the relationship between the self-perceived oral condition and the items of oral health care management, respondents who currently have a poor oral condition or have greater chewing trouble, or have higher dry mouth, preference the manufacturing of dentures in most cases. Respondents who have a lower number of teeth or wear dentures preference dentures cleansing and management in most cases. Respondents who have shaking teeth or have frequent tooth pain preference tooth extraction. Since the preference for oral health care management items may differ by their age or oral condition, oral health management customized to each individual should be applied.

이 연구는 대구광역시와 경상북도에 소재하는 각각 3곳의 노인복지관 및 노인대학의 65세 이상 노인 501명을 대상으로 구강보건진료 관리 항목이 자가인식구강상태에 미치는 영향력을 조사함으로써 효과적인 구강보건관리 방안을 모색하기 위해 연구를 실시하였다. 연령에 따른 구강보건진료 관리 항목의 선호도를 조사한 결과, 65~69세는 불소도포, 65~74세는 치석제거, 칫솔질 교습, 70~74세는 틀니 세정 및 관리, 75세 이상은 틀니 제작을 선호하였다. 구강보건진료 관리 항목이 노인의 자가인식구강상태에 미치는 영향력은 현 구강상태가 좋지 않고, 저작지장이 많으며, 구강건조가 있을수록 틀니 제작을 가장 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 치아수가 적고, 틀니를 가지고 있을수록 틀니 세정 및 관리를 가장 선호하였으며, 흔들리는 치아가 있고, 치통이 자주 있을수록 발치를 가장 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 연령과 구강상태에 따라 구강보건진료 관리 항목의 선호도에 차이가 있으므로 각 개인에게 맞는 구강보건관리를 적용해야 할 것이다.
