This study was a descriptive study to investigate factors affecting sleep time in the Korean elders. A secondary data analysis was conducted using the data of "The Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2011". The survey included 3,487 people aged over 65 years and 1,163 samples were used for this study. Data were analyzed with the ${\chi}^2$-test and logistic regression using the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Analysis showed that sleep time was related with the number of chronic disease and limit on the activities of daily living(ADL).

본 연구는 노인들의 삶의 질 향상에 필수적인 노인구강보건 사업개발을 위하여 일차적으로 노인들의 구강건강조사항목 및 구강건강관련 삶의 질 수준을 조사 검토해 보았다. 연구대상자는 도시지역 거주자로서 부산광역시 사하구에 거주하는 60세 이상 노인으로서 2005년 5월 30일에서 6월 30일까지 동주대학 특성화 사업의 일환으로 진행된 '지역어르신 무료건강관리' 행사에 참여한 노인 113명과 농촌지역 거주자로서 경남 거제시 사등면 사등리 대리마을 일대에 거주하는 노인으로서 2005년 9월 12일에 연구자가 그 지역을 직접 방문조사한 102명을 합친 총 215명을 조사대상으로 하였다. 연구도구는 노인의 구강건강관련 삶의 질을 조사하기 위해 Cushing과 Sheiham(1986)이 개발한 Sociodental Scale을 사용하였으며 수집된 자료는 SPSS 10.0 for windows package를 이용하여 빈도와 백분율 및 t-test로 분석하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같이 요약되었다. 1. 조사대상자는 성별에 있어 남자가 22.7%, 여자가 77.3%였으며, 연령에 있어 60~70세가 46.8%, 71세 이상이 53.2%로 나타났다. 2. 구강건강관련 항목을 조사한 결과 먼저 악안면 외상에 있어서 치아외상경험이 있는 경우가 30.9%, 없는 경우가 69.1%로 치아외상경험이 없는 경우가 더 많았다. 치아외상원인으로 교통사고 2.8%, 운동중 사고 10.4%, 넘어짐 3.5%, 기타 14.8%로 나타났다. 3. 악관절 장애에서 개구시 악관절 소리가 나는 경우가 15.3%, 나지 않는 경우가 84.7%였고, 현재 악관절 통증이 있는 경우 10.6%, 없는 경우 89.4%였으며, 개구시통증이 있는 경우 10.3%, 없는 경우 89.7%였고, 병원치료를 받은 적이 있는 경우 6.4%, 없는 경우 93.6%로 나타났다. 4. 응급구강진료 필요성에 있어 생명을 위협하는 중대한 상태인 경우가 8.0%, 응급치료가 필요한 통증이나 감염상태인 경우가 19.6%, 중대한 상태가 아닌 경우가 72.4%로 나타났다. 5. 부정치과시술에 있어 부정치과시술경험이 있는 경우가 23.7%, 없는 경우가 76.3%였고, 부정치과시술 만족정도에서는 불편함 없이 잘 사용하는 경우가 10.5%, 약간 불편한 경우가 6.0%, 불편하고 부작용이 있는 경우가 5.0%였고, 참기 힘들 정도로 불편한 경우가 2.7%로 나타났다. 부정치과시술 결과상태에 있어 양호하다가 11.8%, 약간문제가 있다가 7.8%, 문제가 심각하여 재진료가 필요하다가 2.3%, 매우 심각한 문제가 있어 즉각적인 치료가 필요하다가 1.4%로 나타났다. 6. 연령에 따른 구강건강관련 삶의 질을 분석한 결과 60~70세 노인은 $2.19{\pm}0.88$이고 71세 이상 노인은 $2.63{\pm}1.12$로 나타나 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(P < 0.01). 7. 거주지에 따른 구강건강관련 삶의 질을 분석한 결과 도시는 $2.58{\pm}1.13$이고 농촌은 $2.24{\pm}0.89$로 나타나 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(P < 0.05). 이상의 결과로 우리나라 노인들의 삶의 질 관련 구강보건 수준을 개선하기 위해서는 주기적인 구강보건사업의 개발이 절실히 요구되며, 또한 구강건강이 노인들의 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위한 조사연구들이 더 다양하게 이루어져야 되고, 이러한 연구과정에 구강건강이 노인들의 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위한 한국적인 평가도구의 개발도 더 많이 시행되어야 한다고 생각된다.
