Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the oral health behaviors of the Sanitation Workers and to lay the basis for the policy direction for promoting industrial oral health. A total of 79 self - filling questionnaires were analyzed for Sanitation Workers in Gwangju Metropolitan City. As a result, oral health education experience was about 25% compared to 80% of scaling experience. Oral hygiene is related to academic background, type of employment, and number of years of work. Periodontal status was higher in 'high sensitivity' and 'gum edema' than high school education or higher. The higher the income and education, the more perceived periodontal status was 'normal' or 'worse'. Therefore, it is meaningful that we analyzed sanitation worker and it is necessary to take various efforts and countermeasures to improve the oral health of the industry by expanding the opportunities for oral health education by taking into consideration the Sanitation Workers and developing active and complex programs.

연구는 환경미화원의 구강건강행태를 파악하여 산업구강건강 증진을 위한 정책 방향의 기초를 마련하고자 한다. 광주광역시 일부 지역 환경미화원을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문 79부를 분석하였다. 연구결과 스케일링 경험 80%에 비해 구강보건교육 경험은 약 25%로 나타났다. 구강위생관리는 학력, 고용형태, 근무년수와 관계가 있었다. 치주상태는 고졸이상에서 '시린이'와 '잇몸부음' 증상이 높게 나타났고, 소득과 학력이 높을수록 치주상태가 '보통'이거나 '나쁨'으로 인식하였다. 따라서 다양한 노동자 중 환경미화원을 대상으로 분석한 것에 대하여 의의가 있으며, 환경미화원의 환경을 잘 고려하여 구강보건교육의 기회를 넓히고 적극적이고 융복합적인 프로그램을 개발하여 산업구강건강증진을 위한 다양한 노력과 대책이 필요하다.
