Abstract
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation factors to oral health-related quality of life in Chinese students studyng in Korea. Methods : A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 231 students from November, 2012 to January, 2013. Data were analyzed by t-test, one way ANOVA, and Duncan post-hoc test using SPSS version 19.0. Results : Male students and short period staying students tended to have a higher quality of life. Smokers and large city dwellers tended to have a low oral health-related quality of life(p<0.05). The oral health-related quality of life in Chinese students in Korea was closely related to necessity of dental treatment and past experience of dental treatment services(p<0.05). Conclusions : To improve the oral health-related quality of life in foreign students, it is necessary to provide the early prevention of dental caries and periodontal diseases through the systematic and professional dental health care delivery program for the foreign students studying in Korea.
