Purpose: This study was designed to identify the factors affecting the experience of smoking in middle school girls. A comprehensive analysis of individual and family factors was used. Method: The students in this descriptive survey on causal relations were 433 girls enrolled in middle schools selected by convenience sampling. The data were collected in November-December 2003 and logistic regression analysis was used to build a forecast model. Findings: The findings showed the following, 1) Individual factors such as grade, alcohol consumption, sexual experience and the frequency of exposure to pornographic materials, and 2) family factors such as parental living arrangement were significant factors. Conclusion and Recommendation: The experience of smoking among Korean middle school girls was associated not only with individual factors, but also with family factors, which exert a strong influence on health behavior. There is therefore a need for school-based smoking prevention programs, which deal comprehensively with these factors that influence smoking. It is recommended that a program be developed that will help to control the variables identified in this study along with follow?up study to verify the model.

본 연구는 구강보건행태 방법을 이해하고 다양한 연령층과 직업, 잇솔질 횟수와 잇솔질 시기를 분석하여 개개인의 구강건강을 증진시키기 위한 연구자료 및 구강보건 인식 증진 프로그램 개발에 기초자료를 제공하고자 2007년 10월 22일에서 23일까지 대전광역시에 거주하는 만 19세 이상 남녀를 대상으로 무작위 표본추출로 선정된 응답자를 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 활용하여 분석하였다. 3회 이상 잇솔 사용을 분석한 결과 성별인 경우 여자가, 연령은 20대, 교육 수준 별로 대학교 재학 이상, 직업은 화이트칼라(전문직), 가계 수입별로는 500만원이상, 체질당지수는 저체중, 흡연 여부에서는 비흡연이, 최근 2년간 건강검진 경험의 경우 경험이 있는 사람이, 주관적 건강상태의 경우 좋을수록 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 식사 직후 잇솔 사용에 대하여 분석한 결과 교육수준에서 학력이 높을수록, 전문직일수록, 평균 월 수입이 많을수록, 흡연 유무에서는 비흡연, 최근 2년간 건강검진 경험의 경우 경험이 있는 사람이, 관적 건강상태의 경우 좋을수록 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 3회 이상 잇솔 사용을 종속변수로 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시한 결과 남성에 비해 여성이, 학력은 중졸이하에 비해 고졸이, 직업은 학생에 비해 가정주부가, 주관적 건강상태는 좋을수록 잇솔 사용 횟수가 식후 3회일 경향을 보였다. 식사 직후 잇솔 사용을 종속변수로 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시한 결과 학력은 중졸이하에 비해 고졸, 대졸이, 직업은 학생에 비해 자영업과 가정주부가, 흡연자에 비해 비흡연자가, 건강검진 경험자, 주관적 건강상태는 좋을수록 잇솔 사용 횟수가 식후 잇솔질의 경향을 보였다. 이상과 같은 결과를 볼 때 높은 교육수준이나, 건강에 대한 자기 신념이 높은 사람들은 구강 관리도 소홀하지 않다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 또한 그렇지 못한 그룹은 지속적인 교육 및 관리를 하여 구강관리의 중요성을 일깨워줘야 됨은 물론이며, 구강관리 뿐만 아니라 전체적인 건강관리에 대한 교육 프로그램을 개발 연구되어야 할 것이다.

The purpose of the study was to analyze smoking impact factors, knowledge about effects of smoking and effects of oral health-related quality of life. The subjects were 165 male dental clinic visitors. The survey was conducted from November to December 2018. The examinations were smoking impact factors, knowledge about effects of smoking on oral health, oral health-related quality of life, and recognition of smoking cessation support in dentistry. Survey data were analyzed using statistical programs of PASW Statistics ver. 18.0. Smoking groups were more stressful than non-smoking groups(13.0, 9.97) and drinking frequency was higher(2/week, 0.96/week)(p<0.05). Smoking had a significant correlation with stress(r= .283, p<0.001) and stress with OHIP(r= -.263, p<0.001). Regression results show that stress and frequency of drinking are significant factors(p<0.05). Smoking cessation support service was recognized by 32.9 %, but experience of service was only 19.4 %. Smoking cessation support of dentistry was answered positively by 65.5 %. The above results reveal the need for stress and drinking control, oral health education, and active support of oral health professionals for smoking cessation.

The objectives of this study were to analyze the socio-economical factors related to smoking and drinking behaviors using the Korea Welfare Panel data. The key variables were sex, age, frequency of health and medical facilities visit, subjective health level, smoking level, drinking level, depression symptoms, and low income level. Since the health variables in the Welfare Panel data were limited, the analysis was exploratory. In male population of those older than 30 years old, low income group people were more likely to smoke cigarettes than the general income population. In the result of the Chi square analysis, the smoking rate showed significantly different relationships with the different age groups, gender and income level. According to the descriptive analysis, persons with low income level were more likely to experience health risk behaviors and showed more medical service utilization. The utilization of the local public health centers was 4.6% for the Bow income level and 1% for the general level. The higher smoking rate was associated with the younger age, and the lower income. The smoking rate in the age category from 20 to 29 was 23.3% for the general level and 25% for the low income level. On the other hand, the drinking rate was even higher in the general families. The rates of non use of alcohol was 36.7% in the general families and 58.4% for the low income families. For both smoking and high risk drinking issues, demographic and sociological variables such as sex, age, education levels and income levels were analyzed, and there wer significant relationships. Health risk factors were serious for males, with age groups of 20's and 30's, lower education level, and in a low income family. In general, females were more unhealthy. The rates of smoking and drinking were higher in the low income level. Even in the health and nutrition survey results in 2005, persons in the low income class were experiencing poorer health in health level or the degree of action restriction. Since the effects of the health promotion could not be measured in a short period of time, it has not been easy to create the basis for the substantial effects. Factors related to health risks needs to be continuously studied using data from diverse field.

The purpose of this study was to examine the necessity of oral health education to analyze the knowledge and status of oral health according to smoking in some college students. The subjects in this study were 217 selected college students, on whom a survey was conducted from September 3 to September 7, 2013. The data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0(SPSS 19.0 K for window, SPSS Inc USA). The findings of the study were as follows: First, concerning toothbrushing frequency, the smokers brushed their teeth twice, and the nonsmokers did that three times(p<0.05). The male students did toothbrushing twice, and the female students did that three times(p<0.05). As to scaling experience, the female students got their teeth cleaned more often(p<0.05). Second, the nonsmokers who had received oral health education outnumbered the smokers who had(p<0.01). In regard to the necessity of smoking-related oral health education, both of the smokers and the nonsmokers replied it was necessary(p<0.05). Third, as for the level of oral health knowledge, the nonsmokers were more aware than the smokers that the use of oral hygiene supplies had an effect on the prevention of dental caries(p<0.05). Given the findings of the study, the smoking-related oral health education and the development of programs that are intended for college students seems necessary.
