The results showed that 24.2% of respondents had implant dentures put in. Hereat, the t-test and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed to analyze respondents' knowledge and attitude about the implant denture according to general characteristics. In relation to knowledge about the implant denture, respondents showed differences according to what levels of education they had and whether they had the implant dentures put in. The results of a correlation analysis showed that respondents' knowledge and attitude about the implant denture had a significant correlation with each other. In other words, respondents, who had a high degree of knowledge about the implant denture, had a more positive attitude to it. With the generalization of implant dentures, dental care providers have need to provide exact information about the implant denture for dental patients in order that they may comprehend it and have positive attitudes to it.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to provide resources to develop oral health education programs to make schoolchildren be able to do oral care behaviors voluntarily by analyzing the factors affecting elementary school students's oral health behaviors. Methods : A self administered questionnaire based survey was conducted with 233 students (117 boys, 116 girls) of sixth graders at Gyeonggi Province from September 1st to October 2nd, 2012. Researchers explained to willing participants the purpose of this study and then, asked respondents to complete their own questionnaire. A total of 233 questionnaires were properly completed while 7 questionnaires had insincere sections and were thus excepted. Results : 1. Children's higher level of oral health-related knowledge have more positive oral health attitudes(p=0.000) and oral health behaviors(p=0.001). 2. The higher oral health behavior mothers have, the more students have oral health knowledge and better oral health attitude, the higher the oral health behavior children have(p<0.01). 3. Students' positive attitude towards oral health(${\beta}$=0.548, p=0.000) and Mother's more attention to Oral check after tooth-brushing(${\beta}$=-0.149, p=0.005) were associated with children's sound dental health behaviors. Conclusions : The findings of this study suggest that the oral health knowledge, attitude and behaviors are associated with students' oral health behavior. Thus, effective support in oral health education, is need to be enhanced among the elementary school students rather than only focus on conveying knowledge to them. Since, mother's oral health-related knowledge and attitudes on the tooth-brushing behaviour and dental health of their children influence on child's oral health, the development of Comprehensive oral health education program into the mother and child needs to be carried out.

저자는 졸업 후 초등학교 양호실에서 학교보건의 유일한 전임보건요원으로 아동들의 구강보건교육과 관리 업무를 수행하게 될 간호학과 학생들을 대상으로 우리 국민의 양대 구강병인 치아우식증과 치주병에 대한 구강보건 지식 및 태도를 평가하여 향후 학교구강보건교육의 방향을 제공하고자 경기도 일원의 간호과 학생들을 대상으로 양대구강병에 대한 지식과 태도를 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 조사대상자들은 뜨겁고 찬 음식에 자각증상을 가지고 있으면서도 자신의 구강이 건강한 편이거나(36.8%), 보통(36.3%)이라고 인지하고 있었다. 2. 치아우식증의 원인을 불량한 구강위생관리(90.4%)라고 응답하였고 이중 94.1%가 잇솔질이 치아우식증 예방에 효과적이라고 응답하였으며, 잇솔의 모양이 직선이어야 한다는 것에는 40.2% 만이 옳다고 응답하였다. 3. 치아우식증 예방법을 위해 불소 이용이라고 응답한 조사 대상자들은, 불소 이용법 효과에 대한 평균 순위를 불소 첨가 수돗물 섭취(2.00), 불소 용액 양치(2.40), 전문가 불소도포(2.70), 불소 치약 사용(3.60), 불소 복용(4.30) 순으로 효과적이라고 응답하였다. 4. 치아우식증 예방법에 대한 지시기은 정기적 검진과 잇솔질이라고 응답하였으나, 구강건강을 위한 행위로는 잇솔질만 하고 있어 지식과 태도의 차이를 보였다. 5. 자신의 구강건강을 위해 잇솔질(94.3%)을 시행하고 있었으며, 아침 식사 후(71.9%)와 잠자기 전(65.8%)에 실시하고 점심 식사 후는 40.3% 만이 실시하고 있었으며, 1일 2회(35.7%)와 3회(37.6%)의 잇솔질을 실시하고 있었다. 6. 잇솔질(84.7%)이 치주질환 예방법이라고 응답한 조사대상자들 중 잇솔질은 치주병에 예방효과가 있는가에 대해 교직과목 이수자의 7.1%, 미이수자의 17.0%가 아니라고 응답하여 두 그룹간에 차이가 보였다. 이상의 결과들로 살펴볼 때 아동들의 구강보건관리를 책임지기에는 간호과 학생들은 치학적 지식이 부족하였고, 특히 지식과 태도에서의 차이가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 그러므로 날로 악화되는 아동 구강건강을 증진하여 건강을 보장하기 위해 현재 시범 실시중인 학교 구강보건실 운영을 활성화하고, 구강보건전문인력으로 교육받은 치과 위생사를 아동들의 구강보건관리를 위해 적극 활용하여야 한다고 사료된다.

Methods : A total of 329 dental hygiene students in 4 universities completed the questionnaire which consisted of 15 questions for the work value factors and 10 questions for the professional attitude factors. Correlation between the work value factors and the professional attitude factors was analyzed. Results : The "students with no clinical practice experience (4.34 points)" were seen to be statistically significant (p= .013) in the work value factors, as compared to the "students with clinical practice experience (4.19 points)". In accordance with the grade level (p= .000), conformity in aptitude (p= .022), satisfaction level for the major (p= .000), desired duration of career (p= .009), and presence of recommendation for dental hygiene department (p= .000), the professional attitude factors had statistically significant differences. The higher the scores of the work value factors of dental hygiene students, the higher the scores of the professional attitude factors appeared, there by showing a positive (+) correlation (r= .367).

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to obtain data that can be utilized in the planning of oral health education, by surveying the correlation between oral health knowledge, attitudes, and behavior among elementary school students. Methods : A questionnaire was administered to 227 students in the 5th and 6th grades in Hongseong-gun. The obtained data were analyzed with the SPSS 14.0 program. Results : Knowledge of oral health was very high. Correct attitudes and positive behavior were indicated. There was a significant difference in oral health behavior according to school year(p<0.05). Positive correlation was significantly observed among oral health knowledge, attitudes, and behavior(p<0.01). Especially, attitudes and behavior were highly correlated(r=0.583). Conclusions : Children's knowledge, attitudes, and behavior toward oral health were mutually influenced. Thus, oral health education should be carried out with the goal of causing changes in the attitudes and behavior of students, as opposed to delivering simple knowledge. Through continuous oral health education, correct oral health knowledge and behavior can be developed. Thus oral health education was expected to promote healthy habit for oral health.
