Korea Health Panel Survey (KHPS) has been conducted to provide nationally representative estimates of health care use and expenditures for non-institutionalized population in Korea since 2008. The aim of this study was to present estimates from KHPS on dental utilization and expenditures from 2008 to 2011. While weighted estimates were presented for each year from 2008 to 2011, the focus of this study was on the 2011 estimates and changes in dental utilization and expenditures between 2008 and 2011. Weighted estimates were obtained using population weights and statistical significances were analysed by independent t-test or ANOVA test using SPSS version 20 for Windows. In 2011, 21.1% of Korean population obtained outpatient dental services from dentists. From 2008 to 2011, the percent of people with a dental visit in each year increased slightly. In 2011, the mean number of dental visits was 4.46. While the mean number of dental visits remained stable by 2010, it increased slightly in 2011. The total annual dental expense in 2011 for people with a visit was about 460,000 Korean Won and 10% higher in 2008. In summary, this study results highlight low rates of dental utilization and high dental expenses in Korean population.

Objectives : The research of dental hygiene has made considerable progress over the past 10 years toward developing a unique body of knowledge for guiding education, practice, and profession. The purpose of this study was to determine Barriers to Research Utilization among Dental Hygiene Researchers. Methods : This study used cross-sectional design, self-reported questionnaire. That was consisted of 31 items(5 categories), reliability was tested(Cronbach's Alpha=0.882). The subjects were 117, mean age was $36.1{\pm}9.3$. They were consisted of full-time faculty (35.9%) and the doctoral course(61.0%). Results : The greatest barriers in dental hygiene research were 'Dental hygienists are isolated from knowledgeable colleagues with whom to discuss with' in Dental Hygienist category and 'The facilities are inadequate for implementation' in setting. In Research category, 'the research has not been replicated' and 'the relevant literature is not complied in one place' in presentation were the greatest. The researchers who were the twenty's, received dental hygiene license after 2000 year and studying for the master's degree had more barriers in all categories significantly. Conclusions : This finding provided evidence that there are barriers in dental hygiene research and we found the junior researchers have more difficulties. To improve this barriers, dental hygiene related associations need to focus on the research utilization and encourage them to attend conferences. In addition, research related education should be provided to them. Further study is essential to investigate the barriers for the established researchers in dental hygiene and to find specific solutions.

본 연구는 계속구강건강관리가 잘 이루어지지 않는 근로자를 대상으로 계획된 행동이론에 기초하여 구강질환이 있을 경우 치과치료이용을 하려는 의도에 미치는 요인을 조사를 하였다. 이에 치과의료를 이용할 의도를 높일뿐만 아니라 실제 치과의료 이용으로 실행될 수 있는 방안을 마련하는데 기초자료로 쓰이고자 시도되었다. 연구대상상자는 1,016명 중 현재 치과치료를 받는 환자 53명과 지난 6개월간 치과방문을 경험한 사람 355명을 제외한 총 608명을 대상으로 조사 분석하여 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 1. TPB 변인과 의도의 상관관계는 행동에 대한 태도, 주관적 규범, 인지된 행동통제의 순으로 나타났으나 인지된 행동통제는 유의하지 않았다. 2. 치과의료이용 의도에 영향을 미치는 일반적 특성은 경제상태로서 여유가 있다고 생각할수록 의도가 높게 나타났으며, TPB 변인 중에서는 치과의료이용과 관련된 행동에 대한 태도와 주관적 규범이 유의한 영향을 주었다. 3. 일반 선형회귀분석한 결과 모형의 설명력은 21%로 나타났다. 구강질환이 있을 경우 치과의료를 이용할 의도가 높다고 하더라도 실제 상황에서는 행동으로 실행이 되지 않을 가능성이 높을 것으로 간주된다. 하지만 의도가 낮은 사람에 비하여 의도가 높은 사람이 실제 치과의료이용을 할 가능성이 높다. 따라서 의도에 영향을 주는 치과의료이용에 관련된 태도와 주관적 규범이 긍정적으로 형성되며 인식할 수 있도록 구강보건교육을 통하여 동기부여가 되어야 하겠다. 그렇게 위해서는 산업장 구강검진이 일회성 형식에 그치지 않으며 구강질환자는 검진치의사의 강력한 치료권고를 통하여 치과치료를 받을 수 있도록 유도하여야 하고, 계속구강건강관리프로그램이 전면적으로 실행되면서 활성화되어 근로자들의 구강건강증진이 이루어져야 하겠다.

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the related factors to dental care utilization, oral health behaviors, and oral health status in immigrant workers in Korea. Methods: The subjects were 504 foreign immigrant male workers over 20 years old who visited Daegu labor consultation center for oral health survey and oral examination. The questionnaire included 5 questions of socioeconomic characteristics, 8 questions of oral health practice behavior, 6 questions of dental clinic visit, 8 questions of social relations and Korean language proficiency. The question for health behavior was measure by body mass index(BMI). Social relations and Korean language proficiency instrument was modified by Seol from "Family welfare survey in Korean international marriage" and scored by Liker 5 scale. Results: The oral health examination of the immigrant workers was as follows: decayed teeth - 76.6%, filling teeth - 27.4%, missing teeth - 69.8%, dental caries experience above five or more - 60.2%, periodontal pocket tissues - 58.9%. Simplified Oral Hygiene Index was very poor and accounted for 49.0%. Dental care utilization experience was closely associated with social relation indexes including attendance in family events, household stuff help, financial help and counseling for hard work(p<0.01). Dental care utilization experience proportionally increased with proficiency in Korean literacy including speaking, listening, and writing abilities of Korean language(p<0.01). Conclusions: In order to improve the oral health condition of the immigrant workers, it is important to provide social network, Korean language proficiency support, and health insurance coverage through economic burden reduction by the Korean government.
