본 연구는 장애인 구강관리를 담당할 치위생과 학생들의 교육 방향성을 제시하고, 장애인에 대한 건전한 인식도를 높이고자, 전남지역에 소재한 3개 대학 치위생과 학생 538명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 장애인에 대한 태도 및 장애인 구강관리에 대한 태도를 조사한 결과 친구나 가족 중에 장애인이 있는 경우나, 장애시설에서 봉사활동 또는 구강보건활동 경험이 있는 경우는 장애인에 대해 긍정적인 태도를 보이는 것으로 조사되었고, 특히 장애인 구강보건활동 경험이 있는 경우에는 장애인 구강보건에 더욱 긍정적인 태도를 내타내었다. 이에 장애인 접촉의 기회를 늘려 장애인과의 거리감을 좁히고, 장애인 구강관리에 더욱 긍정적이고 적극적인 태도를 형성하는 것이 필요하다고 하겠으며, 뿐만 아니라 장애인 환자 진료 시 가장 문제점이 되는 의사소통의 어려움, 장애인 치료에 대한 경험부족, 장애인 치료에 대한 지식 부족 등을 해결하기 위해서는 87.5%가 교육이 필요하다 하였고 교육의 형태는 이론과 실습의 병행 교육이 필요하다고 했다. 또한 국가에서도 장애인 구강보건에 대한 체계적인 정책을 수립하여 장애인 구강건강프로그램을 개발하고 장애인 진료에 소요되는 많은 시간과 노력에 보상할 수 있는 의료보험제도개발 등이 필요하다고 사료된다.
