Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find the attitude change for snack by military soldiers before and after entering military service. To investigate oral health status and improving activities, this survey was done for 318 soldiers at Gyeong-gi province Paju city and the results were as follows. After entering military service, the soldiers take more snacks than before and take snacks 2 or more times a day. Both smokers and non-smokers take more snacks after entering military service than before entering. The soldiers did not go dental clinic regularly. But they have lots of interests about oral health. As higher position and older, soldiers restrain themselves to taking sugar contained food, and the elder soldiers showed higher practical character for nutrition intake than younger soldiers. Private soldiers were least practical for brushing after meal and showed the highest level of fulfill for using fluoride contained toothpaste, regular scaling and checkup at dental clinic and flossing.

이번 연구는 경기도 파주시 육군부대의 병사들을 대상으로 군 입대 전후의 간식섭취횟수의 변화를 알아보고 구강건강관리실태와 관련성을 비교 분석할 목적으로 318명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문지를 작성하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 병사들은 입대 전보다 입대 후 간식섭취횟수의 변화가 많은 것으로 나타났고, 간식섭취횟수의 변화와 흡연 여부와의 관계에서 흡연자와 비흡연자 모두 입대 후 간식섭취횟수가 늘었다. 구강건강관리실태에서 입대 후 간식섭취횟수가 많은 자가 입대 전 간식섭취횟수가 많은 자에 비해 구강건강 상태가 건강하지 않은 것으로 조사되었고, 충치경험은 두군 모두 많았다. 연구대상자들은 치과 정기검진에 대한 실천성은 낮은 것으로 조사되었지만 치아건강에 대한 관심은 높은 것으로 나타났다. 당 성분이 함유된 음식물에 대한 자제력과 영양섭취에 대한 실천성은 나이가 많을수록 실천성이 높은 것으로 나타났고 식후 칫솔질에 대한 실천성은 이등병이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났으나 불소가 배합된 치약사용과 정기적 스케일링 및 정기적 구강검진, 치실 사용의 실천성은 이등병이 가장 높게 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과를 볼 때, 병사들은 입대 전에 비하여 입대 후 간식섭취횟수가 늘어났으며 구강건강을 위한 행위에 대한 실천성은 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 그리고 이번 연구에서 병사들의 구강보건교육의 중요한 시기는 이등병이라는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 군 특성에 맞는 구강보건교육에 대한 내용과 시기가 고려된 프로그램이 개발, 운영되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
