Abstract

This study investigated the general characteristics, oral health and oral behavior of cancer survivors to improve the quality of life of cancer patients. These factors are analyzed using the results from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(2016~2018). Data were analysed using SPSS Statistics Ver. 26.0 and Chi-squared test were performed to analyze the data. Most of the survey subjects answered that their oral health status was below average. As the age of cancer survivors increased, the experience of dental caries and periodontal disease was significantly higher (p<0.05). It was found that lower the economic and educational level, perceived as bad was the subjective oral health (p<0.05), chewing problems (p<0.001), speech (p<0.01) difficulties and low the frequency of toothbrush use. In conclusion, It is necessary to develop an appropriate oral health management program to prevent oral diseases in consideration of the residence and socioeconomic level of cancer survivors.

본 연구는 국민 건강 정도를 대표할 수 있는 제7기 국민건강영양조사(2016~2018) 자료를 이용하여 암 생존자들의 일반적 특성, 구강건강 및 구강행태를 조사하였다. 데이터 분석은 SPSS Statistics Ver. 26.0 데이터 분석을 위해 Chi-squared test를 시행하였다. 암 생존자들의 주관적인 구강건강 상태는 조사대상자 대부분이 보통 이하라고 응답하였다. 암 생존자의 연령이 증가할수록 치아우식증 및 치주질환 유병률이 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 교육 및 경제 수준이 낮을수록 주관적인 구강건강상태가 나쁜 것으로 인식하고(p<0.05), 저작장애(p<0.001), 언어장애(p<0.01), 칫솔사용 빈도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 암 생존자들의 거주지 및 사회경제적 수준을 고려하여 건강한 삶을 영위하기 위한 구강보건 교육프로그램을 개발하고 활용할 수 있도록 동기부여가 필요하다고 생각한다.
