초록

연구목적 : 본 연구는 노인의 구강건강증진 프로그램 개발 및 적용에 따른 구강건강상태 개선효과를 확인하고, 노인의 구강건강증진 프로그램에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 부산광역시 부산진구 D노인복지시설 이용 노인과 부산, 울산지역을 포함한 경남지역의 노인복지시설 이용 노인 29명을 대상으로 하였으며, 실험군은 8주동안 매주 1회 시설을 방문하여 전문가 구강관리(스펀지 브러쉬, 변형바스법, 와타나베법, 치간칫솔, 잇몸마사지)를 제공하였고, 매일 구강기능향상운동(코끼리 피리 불기와 껌 저작)을 시행하도록 하였다. 연구결과: 구취는시행 전 2.47점에서 시행 후 0.53점으로 감소하였고, 타액분비량은 시행 전 6.33점에서 시행 후 7.27점으로 증가하였으며, 타액완충능은 시행전 5.13점에서 시행 후 8.07점으로 증가하였다. 구륜근력은 시행 전 0.64점에서 시행 후 1.57점으로 구륜근력이 증가하였으며, 치은출혈지수는시행 전 18.11점에서 시행 후 9.94점, 치면세균막지수는 시행 전 27.69점에서 시행 후 12.63점으로 감소하여 노인을 대상으로 실시한 전문가구강관리와 구강기능향상 운동 프로그램이 노인의 구강건강증진과 향상에 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론: 고령화시대 건강한 노인의 구강건강 뿐만 아니라 삶의 질 향상을 위해 노인의 건강증진 방안의 일환으로 전문가 구강관리와 구강기능향상 운동 프로그램을 적극 활용할 수 있는 방안이 모색되어져야 할 것이다.

Objectives: To develop a program that combines the oral health promotion program for the elderly and to investigate the effect of improving oral function by applying the oral health promotion program to elderly people using welfare facilities. Methods: From June to October 2022, a total of 29 elderly individuals utilizing welfare facilities in the Gyeongnam region were recruited. The control group underwent surveys and objective oral health assessments. The experimental group participated in an oral health promotion program, consisting of oral functional rehabilitation exercises and expert oral health management, conducted once a week for 8 weeks at the facilities. Objective oral health assessments were conducted before, during (at 4 weeks), and after (at 8 weeks) the intervention period for both groups. Results: As a result of the oral health promotion program, it was confirmed that there was an improvement effect in bad breath (p<0.001), saliva secretion amount (p<0.001), orbicularis oculi muscle (p<0.001), and plaque index (p<0.001). Conclusions: A revitalization plan is needed so that the efficient oral health promotion program for the elderly can be reflected as a systematic and professional community care oral health management program.
