Abstract

This study was intended to prepare the basic data required for the development of oral products for the patient with diabetes by analyzing the relation between diabetes and oral health and the actual condition of oral care from the senior citizens diagnosed with diabetes out of the senior citizens over 65. In this study, 8 senior citizens who visited the senior welfare center in D city, were organized into the group of 4 senior citizens and the interview approximately for 40 minutes per group was conducted. In the results of this study, 5 core topics of 'Diabetes and Oral Health", 'Oral Discomfort', 'Oral Care Method', 'Visit to Dentist' and 'Demand for Oral Care' were drawn. For the relation between diabetes and the oral health, the most of research subjects answered that they heard about it for the first time, They answered that for the oral health care, they brushed the teeth using toothpaste 3 ~ 4 times a day and for the visit to dentist, they visited the dentist only when they had oral problem. For what is necessary for oral care, they answered that they wish that the oral care education customized for patient with diabetes and diverse oral care products such as toothpaste, etc. would be developed. Considering the results of this study, the development of oral care management program and the development of oral products in future are deemed to be necessary.

본 연구는 65세 이상 노인 중 당뇨병 진단을 받은 자를 대상으로 당뇨병과 구강건강과의 관련성 및 구강관리 실태를 분석하여 당뇨 환자를 위한 구강제품개발에 필요한 기초자료를 마련하고자 하였다. D시의 노인복지관을 방문한 당뇨병 진단을 받은 65세 이상 노인 8명을 연구대상자로 하여 4명을 한 그룹으로 하고 그룹 당 약 40분의 면담을 진행하였다. 연구결과 '당뇨와 구강건강', '구강 내 불편감', '구강관리방법', '치과방문', '구강관리를 위한 요구'의 5개의 핵심 주제가 도출되었다. 연구대상자의 대부분이 당뇨와 구강건강의 관련성에 대하여는 처음 들어본다고 대답하였고, 구강건강관리는 하루 3~4회 치약을 사용하여 잇솔질을 하고, 치과방문은 구강에 문제가 생겼을 때만 방문한다고 대답하였다. 구강관리에 필요하다고 생각하는 부분은 당뇨환자 맞춤 구강관리교육과 치약 등 다양한 관리제품들이 개발되었으면 좋을 것 같다고 대답하였다. 본 연구결과를 볼 때 향후 노인 당뇨 환자의 맞춤형 구강건강관리 프로그램개발 및 구강제품개발이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
