Abstract

This study aims to measure the oral health literacy of foreign women and to find out the association between oral health knowledge, oral health behavior and oral health literacy. The subjects of the study were surveyed by 248 foreign women in some areas of Gyeongbuk from June 2018 to September 2018. The results of the study showed that the verbal oral health literacy was significantly different in age, education level, and korean residence period, and functional oral health literacy in marriage, education level, and length of residence in korea. In order to promote oral health literacy of foreign women, an effective oral health program has been developed to change oral health knowledge and oral health behavior

본 연구는 외국인 여성의 구강건강문해력을 측정하여 구강보건지식, 구강보건행태와 구강건강문해력의 연관성을 알아보고자 한다. 연구대상자는 2018년 6월~2018년 9월 까지 경북 일부 지역의 외국인 여성 248에게 설문지 조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과는 언어적 구강건강문해력은 나이, 교육수준, 한국거주기간에서, 기능적 구강건강문해력은 결혼유무, 교육수준, 한국거주기간에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 외국인 여성의 구강건건강문해력을 증진시키기 위해서는 구강보건지식과 구강 보건행태를 변화 시킬 수 있는 효율적인 구강건강프로그램이 개발되어야 하겠다.
