본 연구에서는 초등학교 양치교실사업의 효과를 평가하고 추후 효과적인 사업 운영을 위한 개선방안 마련의 기초자료로 활용하고자, 2011년에 양치교실을 설치하여 운영 중인 강릉시 P초등학교 학생을 대상으로 양치교실 설치 후 구강건강행태 및 구강증상경험 수준의 변화를 확인하였다. 1. 모든 군에서 칫솔질 및 식습관에 대한 구강건강지식 문항의 정답률과 구강건강에 대한 바른 인식률은 낮은 수준이었고, 실험군 저학년의 자신의 구강건강수준을 매우 건강 또는 건강하다고 생각하는 비율은 양치교실 설치 직후 35.7%에서 6개월 후 48.9%로 증가하였다(p=0.031). 2. 학교에서 점심식사 후 매일 칫솔질 실천율은 실험군 저학년에서는 1차 조사 시 53.5%에서 6개월 후 2차 조사 시 35.5%로 18.0% 감소하였고, 6개월 후 3차 조사 시에는 비슷한 수준(35.4%)으로 유지되었으며(p<0.001), 고학년에서는 2차 조사(42.1%)에 비해 3차 조사(35.1%) 시 소폭 감소하였다(p<0.001). 대조군의 매일 칫솔질 실천율은 실험군 3차조사 결과와 비교하였을 때 저학년 28.6%, 고학년 6.0%로 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p=0.007, p<0.001). 3. 실험군과 대조군에서 점심식사 후 매일 칫솔질하지 않는 이유로 이 닦는 것을 깜빡 잊어버렸기 때문으로 응답한 비율이 가장 높게 나타났다. 4. 구강증상경험률은 실험군 고학년의 치통경험을 제외한 모든 증상에서 1차 조사에 비해 6개월 후 2차 조사 시 경험률이 소폭 감소하였으나 통계적으로 유의하지 않았고, 고학년의 입냄새 경험률은 2차 조사 시 실험군 14.7%에 비해 대조군 25.3%로 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(p=0.016). 5. 실험군에서 양치교실을 이용할 때 대부분 보건 선생님이 지도해 주는 것으로 나타났고, 양치교실 이용 시 불편한 점으로 양치교실의 위치가 멀리 떨어져 있는 것과 양치교실이 좁아서 복잡하거나 혼잡하다고 응답하였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 양치교실 설치사업을 통한 환경 개선의 효과를 지속적으로 유지하기 위해서는 학생의 적극적인 참여, 선생님의 관리감독 강화, 지역사회 협력체계 구축 등을 통한 지속적인 모니터링이 이루어져야 하며, 구강보건교육 및 양치교실 설치사업이 다양한 건강증진전략과 통합하여 운영될 때 지역사회 아동 청소년 건강증진을 위한 통합건강증진사업으로도 확대될 수 있을 것으로 기대할 수 있겠다.

This study investigated the relationship between oral health knowledge, behavior and orthodontic satisfaction in orthodontic patients visiting dental hospitals and clinics and provided suggestions to improve orthodontic patients' satisfaction. This study anayzed structured self-administered questionnaires collected from 245 patients who visited 5 dental clinics in Gwangju Metropolitan City. Regarding oral health knowledge, the highest percentage of correct answers was for the item "Cavities heal themselves over time" (97.1%), and the lowest percentage of correct answers was for the item "Cavity bacteria move from tooth to tooth" (16.7%). Five fluoride items showed a lower percentage of correct answers than those for cavity and gingival diseases. Regarding the survey on oral health behavior, the highest score was found for the item "I brush my teeth with a certain method and order" (3.78 out of 5), and the lowest score was found for the item "I use an electric toothbrush" (1.34 out of 5). Regarding the survey on orthodontic satisfaction, the highest score was found for the item "I would recommend receiving medical treatment at the department of orthodontics" (4.23), and the lowest score was found for the item "Orthodontic cost is reasonable" (3.46). While oral health behavior had on orthodontic satisfaction, oral health knowledge had no effect on it. Oral health behaviors should be improved to enhance orthodontic satisfaction. To improve oral health behavior, it is necessary to develop and activate education programs for tooth brushing and oral care for orthodontic patients.

Purpose: This descriptive research study aimed to identify and strengthen the knowledge, attitudes, and performances related to first aid for patients with oral and maxillofacial trauma among 119 EMTs working at 119 safety centers and local stations in Jeollanam-do, South Korea. Methods: An online questionnaire was distributed among 144 119 EMTs working at fire stations in Jeollanam-do from August 1 to August 15, 2022. Results: The factors that influenced the knowledge of oral and maxillofacial trauma among the 119 EMTs included qualification (β=.113, p=.005) and performance (β=.837, p=.005), and those influential to attitudes were qualification (β=0.194, p=.005), ordinary interest (β=0.242, p=.005), and the need for education (β=.285, p=.005). The only factor that influenced the performance of first aid for patients with oral and maxillofacial trauma was knowledge (β=.900, p=.005). Conclusion: Considering the nature of first aid for patients with oral and maxillofacial trauma, it is necessary to organize practical knowledge and educational content tailored to the characteristics of each task.

본 연구는 구강보건의료기관에서 방사선 촬영을 하고 있는 치과위생사를 대상으로 방사선 노출에 대한 인지도와 지식을 살펴보았다. 그리고 치과방사선 피폭 대상인 환자와 보호자에 대한 관리 실태 및 근무환경에서 받는 직무스트레스를 조사한 후, 상호 변수 간의 관련성을 파악하기 위해 이메일과 등기우편을 통한 자기기입식 설문법에 의한 256명의 우편 설문조사 결과를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 치과방사선 안전관리 행태에서 최고점수 5점 만점에서 관련 지식은 3.11점, 인식 4.08점, 방사선안전관리 행위 3.43점으로 나타났다. 2. 치과위생사의 직무스트레스는 최고점수 5점 만점에서 2.63점으로 중등도 수준 이하로 나타났다. 3. 근무지별 방사선 피폭에 대한 인지도는 치과병원이 4.26점으로 가장 높았고, 보건(지)소가 3.95점으로 가장 낮았다(p=0.003). 4. 연령별 방사선 피폭에 대한 보호구 착용은 30-34세군만이 착용한다는 응답률이 66.7%로 높았다(p<0.001). 또한 근무지별로는 치과병원 근무자가 보호구 착용을 77.8%가 하고 있다고 응답하였고, 다른 집단은 착용하지 않는다는 응답률이 높았다(p<0.001). 5. 방사선 피폭에 대한 보호구 착용자가 방사선안전관리에 대한 지식, 인식, 자기 방어, 환자와 보호자에 대한 인식 및 보호 수준이 높았다(p<0.001). 6. 방사선 피폭에 대한 보호구 착용자가 비착용자에 비해 직무스트레스가 낮았다(p<0.001). 7. 연령별 직무스트레스는 25세 미만군이 3.10점으로 가장 높았고(p<0.001), 근무지별로는 대학병원 및 종합병원 근무자가 3.32점으로 가장 높았다(p<0.001). 8. 방사선 피폭에 대한 인식이 낮고(r=-0.133) 자기방어관리 수준은 높으며(r=-0.526), 환자와 보호자에 대한 인식 및 보호 수준이 높을수록(r=-0.403) 직무스트레스가 적었다. 이상의 결과에서 치과방사선 안전관리 행위가 적극적으로 시행될 때 직무스트레스는 감소할 수 있다고 여겨지며, 치과위생사의 건강증진을 위해 구강보건의료기관에서는 방사선보호장치 설치를 보다 강화하고 방사선 촬영 시 치과위생사는 갑상선 보호대 등 보호구 착용을 생활화할 수 있도록 교육 및 홍보를 활성화해야 한다고 제시된다.

The present study attempts to investigate the knowledge, belief, attitude and behavior of healthcare major students and non-healthcare counterparts concerning their oral hygiene. The purpose is to provide basic data for positive oral health activities to the students with non-healthcare major, who tend to have insufficient information on oral hygiene. A survey was conducted to 400 students in K college in Incheon from May 1-30, 2003. A total of 384 surveys were analyzed using the SPSS program Version 10.0. The result is as follows: 1. There was a statistically significant difference in the knowledge on oral hygiene between the healthcare(M=3.08) and non-healthcare(M=2.78) students(pE0.05). 2. As for the beliefs and attitudes toward oral health behaviors, 56.9% of the healthcare students and 60.6% of non-health care counterparts responded "moderate" to the question asking if they liked tooth-brushing. The reason they liked tooth-brushing were cleanliness(60.3% of healthcare and 71.9% of non-healthcare students). They didn't like brushing their teeth because they felt it was a nuisance(60.6% of healthcare and 54.5% of non-healthcare students). 90.6% of healthcare students and 90.1% of their non-healthcare counterparts said they wanted to keep their oral health intact. Most of the subjects seemed to acquire information on oral hygiene through mass media(62.2% of healthcare and 55.3% of non-healthcare students). The persons who give them oral health information are their friends or neighbors(26.8% of healthcare and 22.8% of non-healthcare students), and dental hygienists were the last in the list of the sources of information(3.4% of healthcare and 2.5% of non-healthcare students). 3. Their oral health behaviors were also considered, 64.4% of the healthcare students and 53.7% of the non-healthcare counterparts brush their teeth once or twice a day, 51.4% of the former brush their teeth for 2 minutes and 44.8% of the latter for 3 minutes. Some of them use oral health measures other than tooth-brushing(13.3% of healthcare and 14.3% of non-healthcare students). Not many of them used oral health products(6.6% of healthcare and 5.9% of non-healthcare), and the difference was statistically significant(pE0.05). The largest number of healthcare students brush their teeth right before going to bed(29.9%), while their counterparts do it after breakfast(25.8%)

노인인구의 증가에 따라 노인의 구강관리를 위한 치과위생사의 역할은 점점 강조될 것이며, 보건의료 분야에서 학업을 하고 있으며 앞으로 구강업무를 담당할 치위생과 학생들을 대상으로 노인에 대한 지식과 태도 및 행동에 관한 연구를 하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구는 2005년 11월부터 2006년 3월까지 약 5개월동안 부산지역 한 대학 치위생과에 재학중인 대학생을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 내렸다. 1. 대학생의 일반적인 특성에서 평균 연령은 20.9세 였으며, 종교는 무교가 52.6%였다. 2. 대학생의 노인관련특성에서 조부모님(외조부모님)생존여부에 있어서 살아계신다는 대학생이 69.2%로 많았으며, 노인과의 거주경험은 대학생들의 57.1%, 노인을 위한 자원봉사 활동경험은 65.4%, 노인관련 교육을 받은 경험은 34.6% 였다. 3. 노인에 대한 대학생의 지식정도는 총점은 $14.53{\pm}2.35$으로 전체 정답율은 69.9%였다. 4. 대학생들의 태도에 대한 평균 점수는 총점은 100점 만점에 63.12점(${\pm}7.22$) 으로 중립적인 범위(50점에서 70점)내에 있었다. 5. 대학생들의 행동에 대한 평균 점수는 총점 85점 만점에 39.09점(${\pm}13.43$)으로 중립적인 범위(43점에서 60점)보다 낮아 부정적인 행동을 보였다. 6. 대학생들의 노인관련특성에 따른 태도 점수의 차이에서는 노인과의 거주경험과 자원봉사활동경험의 유무가 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. 7. 대학생들의 노인관련특성에 따른 노인에 대한 행동에서 유의한 차이를 나타낸 변수는 노인과의 거주경험 유무였고, 노인과 함께 거주하는 대학생이 노인에 대해 긍정적인 행동을 하고 있었다. 8. 대학생들의 지식과 태도는 아주 강한 정의 상관관계가 있었고 지식과 행동에는 통계적으로 유의하지는 않지만 약한 정의 상관관계가 있었다. 행동과 태도간에는 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 대학생들은 노인에 대한 지식이 높으면 태도는 긍정적이었으나 행동은 긍정적이지 못함을 알 수 있었다.
