본 연구는 구강보건교육에 대한 경험, 계속구강건강관리 프로그램 필요성과 참여 의향을 알아보기 위해 2016년 6월 1일부터 8월 3일까지 대전광역시에서 거주하며 치과에서 1회 이상 진료를 받은 경험이 있는 만 19세 이상 성인 중 303명을 편의추출하여 설문조사하였다. 그 결과, 3회 이상 이를 닦는 대상자는 72.6%였으며 구강보조용품을 사용하는 대상자는 55.8%였고 칫솔질 시간이 2분 이상인 대상자는 55.8%였다. 치면착색제 경험은 1일 칫솔질 횟수에 영향을 미쳤으며 치면착색제 경험, 칫솔질 교육, 구강보조용품 사용 교육, 치주질환 예방 교육은 구강보조용품 사용과 1회 칫솔질 시간에 영향을 미쳤다. 계속구강건강관리 프로그램이 필요하다고 생각하는 대상자는 93.1%였으며 계속구강건강관리 프로그램 참여의향은 68.0%였다. 계속구강건강관리 프로그램 1회 참여비용은 1만원 이상 2만원 미만이 70.3%로 가장 많았으며 관리주기는 6개월이 42.6%로 가장 많았다. 계속구강건강관리 프로그램 요구도는 구강세균검사 74.3%, 칫솔질 교육 71.6%, 구취검사 69.3%, 구강보조용품 교육 46.9%, 치면세균막검사 42.9%, 타액검사 37.6% 순이었다. 계속구강건강관리 프로그램 필요성 인지에 영향을 미치는 요인은 고졸 이하에 비해 대졸 이상 4.514배, 구강보조용품을 사용하지 않은 군에 비해 사용하는 군이 2.878배, 칫솔질 시간이 2분 미만군에 비해 2분 이상군이 3.138배 필요성 인지가 높았다. 계속구강건강관리 프로그램 참여 의향에 영향을 미치는 요인은 치주질환 예방 교육 경험이 없는 군에 비해 예방교육 경험이 있는 군이 1.915배 높았으며 구강보조용품 사용을 하지 않는 군에 비해 사용하는 군이 2.065배 높았다. 따라서, 치과에 내원하는 환자에게 지속적으로 구강보건교육을 하는 것이 계속구강건강관리 프로그램에 참여율을 높일 수 있다고 생각되었다. 또한, 구강세균검사나 구취검사 등이 성인 계속구강건강관리 프로그램에 포함되는 것이 추천되며 계속구강건강관리 프로그램이 본인이 부담할 수 있는 적정 비용 수준으로 보험 급여화될 수 있도록 제안해야 한다.

The subjects had 'none' (44.3%), '1'(6.5%), '2'(12.6%), '3'(5.0%), '4'(5.3%), 'more than' 5(0.8%) of dental caries and 'do not know' were 25.6%. The numbers of dental prosthetics were 'no' (35.5%), '1'(13.7%), '2'(17.2%), '3'(10.3%), '4'(11.5%), and 'more than 5'(11.8%). The public health students(84.8%) had a higher positive response rate than the non-public health students(66.2%). The public health students(80.2%) had a higher negative response rate than the non-public health students(78.5%) in the result of onset of gum disease pain awareness. The non-public health students(65.5%) had a higher negative response rate than the public health students(68.3%)) in the result of heredity of gum disease. The t-test showed that public health-related department students(M=8.264, SD=0.821) had more knowledge about oral hygiene than non-public health-related department students(M=8.015, SD=1.082). 'do not use' in the oral care products except toothpaste and toothbrush showed that public health-related department students(60.4%) use the products more than non-public health-related department students(66.2%). Conclusion: In this study, public health-related department students had higher oral hygiene knowledge and actual condition of oral care compared to non-public health-related students, but low in practical action. Due to the lower level of dental care products use in non-public health-related department, a continuous oral care education program is required.
