Objectives : This study examined the oral health behavior and dental services utilization of adolescents in order to provide information on how to disseminate the correct oral health behavior to the youth and develop programs for the approach. Methods : The raw data of 'The Third 2007 Youth Health Behavior Online Survey' carried out by the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention were analyzed. All survey data collected was processed using SPSS ver 17.0 for data analysis as Frequency analysis, chi-square and Logistic regression analysis. Results : 1.The adolescents who have parents with college degree are 70% higher of dental services utilization than the adolescents counterpart(whose parents don't have degrees). And also the adolescents living in cities are 1.3 times higher use of dental services than others living in countries. 2. In case of drinking soda, students having soda 4 days per week on average are 1.2 times higher use of dental services than who don't. 3.The students brushing teeth after lunch are 0.9 times lower use of dental service than who don't. And the students who have tooth ache whenever they have a meal are 1.6 times higher use of dental service than the students who don't have tooth ache. The students who had a dental health education are 1.4 times higher utilization of dental service than who don't. The difference of using dental service between the students who have gum disease and halitosis and the students who don't is almost none. 4. The students who drink alcohol and smoke 10 days more or less a month are 0.8 ~ 0.9 times lower use of dental service than who don't. Conclusions : The rate of utilizing dental service is higher at students who live with parents having college degrees and the more have oral health behavior, the less use of dental service for treatment. We concluded that more educational program should be developed and vitalized so that students can have oral health.

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: This research is to provide the basic data for the improvement on oral health by examining the relationship between the dental fear and the dental service utilization, and to discuss a strategy for dental health in order to lower the level of dental fear. Methods: Data were collected by conducting a structured survey of 1,607 people between the age of 13 and 70 who have experiences in visiting a dental institution. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were employed to analyze the relationship between the number of times dental service and dental fears. Results: The average level of dental fear the respondents reported was $52.16{\pm}15.71$ and 31.5% of the response was at the level of high dental fear. A strong physiologic response during the dental treatment was muscle tension and the stimulations that strongly arouse the dental fear were the anaesthetic needle and the sound of drill. A result of analysis on the relationship between the dental fear and the dental service utilization shows that as the level of dental fear became higher, the number of times for the dental service utilization for the last year had reduced. Also when a patient has an experience of putting off or canceling an appointment due to dental fear and as a physiologic response during the dental treatment became stronger, the result shows a tendency that the number of times for the dental service utilization for the last year had reduced. Conclusions: It has been observed that dental fear is one of the main barrier to use dental service. Therefore, a physio-psychological factor like the dental fear should be included in the task of promotion of dental health, and in analyzing the dental service utilization behavior. A discussion about how to lower dental fear was made with respect to oral health promotion. At individual level, improvement of communication skill by dental service providers should be made with rearrangement of clinic environment into more cozy one.
