Since 2013, adults aged over 20 can receive national health insurance scaling once a year in South Korea. In this study, we analyzed the usage status of national health insurance care service for periodontal disease in 2010-2018 by using Healthcare big data of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. The increase rate of the dental care users was very high at 7.8 and 11.2% in 2013 and 2014, respectively. These are higher than the increase rate of all medical institution users, which is between -1.7 and 3.7%. In 2017, the rate of dental use was 44.4%, which has increased more than 10% compared to 2012. Percent receiver of national health insurance scaling was 19.5% in 2017. The 20s had the highest rate of 23.2%. The rate decreased with age. Based on these results, it can be evaluated that the expansion of national health insurance coverage for scaling improves accessibility to dental care. A more long-term assessment of the effect of periodic dental examination and scaling on reducing the prevalence of periodontal disease is needed. National health insurance coverage should be extended to oral hygiene education and supportive periodontal therapy in order to prevent periodontal disease.

본 연구의 목적은 20대 성인의 치과보험지식과 구강건강지식이 치과보험인식만족도에 미치는 융합적 관계를 보고자 함이다. SPSS WIN 18.0로 분석해 유의성 있는 결과를 얻었다(p<.05). 치과건강보험인식만족도 '치과치료에 적용되는 진료과목의 수는 확대시킬 필요성이 있다'가 높았으며 '치과보험이 적용되는 치과치료 진료비에 만족한다'가 낮았다. 치과보험유무지식은 치아미백, 교정치료, 구강건강지식은 '섭취하는 음식이 치아에 영향을 미친다.' 높았다. 치과 건강보험인식만족도는 민간치과보험을 가입한 경우 높았다. 치과건강보험인식만족도는 치과건강보험지식과 양의 상관 관계를 나타냈다. 총괄적으로 치과건강보험 인식 만족를 높이기 위해서는 치과보험지식과 구강건강지식에 대한 체계적인 교육이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

이 연구는 치과 종사자들의 치과 건강보험 교육경험 및 교육요구도와 산정기준에 대한 지식수준에 미치는 요인을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 대구·경북 지역의 치과 종사자들을 연구대상으로 하였으며, 구글 설문지를 활용한 온라인 조사를 실시하였다. 연구대상자의 일반적 특성, 교육 경험, 교육 경험 및 교육요구도에 따른 지식수준을 알아보기 위하여 빈도분석과 교차분석 및 ANOVA분석을 사용하였다. 분석 결과, 치과 건강보험에 대한 지식수준 조사에서 청구 프로그램에서 자동으로 처리를 해주거나 오류창으로 알려주는 경우의 산정기준에 대한 오답률이 높았다. 근무경력이 많고 치과에서 보험청구를 하고 있거나 최근 6개월 동안 치과보험 교육 경험이 있는 대상자들에서 산정기준에 대한 지식수준이 높았다. 결론적으로, 정기적인 치과 건강보험 교육을 통해 변경되는 산정기준을 숙지하도록 해야만 정확하고 올바른 보험청구가 가능하다고 보여진다. 이 연구는 치과 종사자들의 전문적인 치과 보험청구를 위한 교육체계 마련에 기초자료를 제공할 것으로 기대한다.

This study focused on the change of environment and cognition of dental hygienists about dental calculus removal after the national health insurance. We conducted online and offline surveys for 290 dental hygienists working in dental clinics in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon areas. Differences in perceptions were assessed by independent t-test and ANOVA. 62.1% answered that the health insurance coverage of dental calculus removal was appropriate, and 49.6% said that the desired number of health insurance coverage about the dental calculus removal should be applied twice a year. 54.3% said that the age after 20 years-old was not appropriate in national health insurance coverage of dental calculus removal, and 49.3% said that the appropriate starting age of dental calculus removal should be applied from high school students. 26.3% said that the number of national health insurance applications should be increased yearly, 20.5% said that oral care education should be added. Most of the dental hygienists said that the number of scaling patients increased, but that the quality of the scaling did not deteriorate. According to general characteristics, in the recognition of the removal of calculus, the dental hygienists having a career for 7~8 years felt less change. The dental hygienist wanted to expand the scope of national health insurance about scaling removal so that more subjects could remove dental calculus removal. Dental hygienists wanted that national health insurance should be systematically supplemented in order to contribute to the promotion of oral health of the people.
