Abstract

To study the effects of oral health education on children, weekly education sessions and surveys were held for 214 preschoolers, 6-7 years of age, in 2 K-area kindergartens for 4 weeks in July 2015. Statistics on oral health behaviors such as children with regular dental checkups(p<0.05), children who underwent fluoride application(p<0.05), children without dental caries diagnosis(p<0.001), children with mothers who underwent oral health education(p<0.05) showed significant difference. Oral health knowledge scores(6 being perfect) increased from pre-education scores of 4.96 to post-education score of 5.54. oral health behavior scores(11 being perfect) also increased from pre-education scores of 7.18 to post-education score of 7.75(p<0.001). Therefore, it is the author's opinion that the development of oral health education programs with relatively short cycles, alongside systematic, practical, and repeated education would be beneficial.

본 연구는 유치원 아동들의 구강보건교육 효과를 파악하기 위해 K지역 유치원 2곳의 6-7세 아동 214명을 대상으로 2015년 7월 주 1회 4주간 구강보건교육과 설문을 실시하였다. 그 결과 구강건강관리 실태 중 정기검진을 받는 아동(p<0.05), 불소도포경험이 있는 아동(p<0.05), 치아우식증 진단을 받은 경험이 없는 아동(p<0.001), 어머니가 구강보건교육을 받은 경험이 있는 아동(p<0.05)의 구강보건행위 점수가 높아 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 구강보건교육 후 구강보건지식은 6점 만점에 교육 전 4.96점에서 교육 후 5.54점으로 향상되었고, 구강보건행위도 11점 만점에 교육 전 7.18점에서 교육 후 7.75점으로 향상되었다(p<0.001). 따라서 아동의 올바른 구강보건행위을 이끌어 갈 수 있는 다양한 구강보건교육 프로그램의 개발과 교육 주기를 짧게 하여 체계적이고 반복적인 실천교육이 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.
