This study analyzed and compared the oral health care knowledge, oral health behaviors and oral health status of elementary school students in schools with a dental clinic and those without. This study was carried out in November of 2012. The subjects were 188 elementary school students. Structured questionnaires were completed and the SPSS(Ver.17.0) Program was used for the collected data to perform frequency analysis, a t-test, and ANOVA. For oral health knowledge, the operating school dental clinic (OSD) group had a high score of 6.72 points, while the non-operating school dental clinic (NSD) group had 5.95 points. The results were statistically significant(p<0.01). For oral health behavior, the OSD group had a high score of 5.55 points, while the NSD group had 4.59 points, which was statistically significant(p<0.01). Students in schools with school dental clinics have much better knowledge and behavior about oral health than students without school dental clinics.

In old age, measures to cope with the natural phenomenon of aging and various diseases of the elderly due to the deterioration of physical function are also a challenge for this society. While interest in systematic health is increasing, it is true that awareness and interest in oral-related diseases is relatively lacking. This study aims to present basic data necessary to improve the quality of life for senior citizens aged 65 or older by improving the oral dryness caused by systemic health. By research method, improve oral dryness caused by whole-body health with the elderly over 65 and promote their oral health, inducing the increase of the salivary flow rate through oral health care education, oral exercise, and salivary gland massage. First, on the DMSQ according to the general characteristics of the elderly, the recognition of the whole body and oral health status, independent sample t-test and One-way ANOVA were conducted. Second, on changes in the salivary flow rate and saliva pH according to the general characteristics of the elderly, recognition of oral and whole-body health status, and whole-body health, paired samples t-test was conducted. Studies have shown that salivary gland flow increased significantly after oral exercise and salivary gland massage, the salivary flow rate significantly increased. In all variables of the recognition of the oral health status, the salivary flow rate increased after oral exercise and salivary gland massage, and in the whole-body health, regardless of hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and osteoporosis, the salivary flow rate increased after oral exercise and salivary gland massage, and the salivary flow rate increased after oral exercise and salivary gland massage if the subjects responded that they did not have thyroid abnormality, anemia, abnormalities of breathing, hypotension, gastrointestinal disturbance, or kidney diseases. As a comprehensive analysis of this study, many felt oral dryness when they had a problem with the whole-body health, and many felt oral dryness when they had a problem with oral health cognition. After applying oral exercise and salivary gland massage as intervention methods in the oral health care for the elderly, the salivary flow rate significantly increased, and it is judged that the methods were very effective for controlling oral dryness. Furthermore, it is judged that the factors affecting oral health, whole-body health, and oral dryness would be identified, which would be helpful for the promotion of whole-body health and oral health. It is judged that continuous research would be needed so that measures for the application of the oral care program and system for the elderly would be prepared in the future.

본 연구는 장애인의 구강건강을 위해 특수교사 및 보호자의 구강건강 중요성을 인식하게 하고, 장애인 스스로 올바른 구강용품 사용과 행위로 구강청결도를 높이기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 서울 지역 H 장애인 복지시설과 E 장애인 종합복지관을 이용하는 정신지체 장애인 총 93명을 대상으로 보호자 및 특수교사로부터의 설문지 응답과, 장애인들을 대상으로 잇솔질 교육, 식이조절, 구강보조용품 사용 등의 구강보건 교육과 간이구강위생지수, 치면세균막 지수, 개량 구강위생상태를 확인하는 구강검진을 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 정신지체 1급과 2급, 3급의 잇솔질 교육 후 실천도를 조사한 결과, 정신지체 1급의 경우, 아침식사 전에는 변함이 없었다. 아침식사 후는 2차 교육 이후에는 약간의 증가를 보였지만 3차 교육 후에는 다시 교육 전과 같았다. 둘째, 장애유형과 교육 횟수에 따른 간이구강환경지수의 변화에는 상호작용 효과가 없었으나 장애유형에 따른 주효과는 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 교육 횟수와 간이구강환경지수의 차이가 있는지 반복측정 분산분석 결과, 간이구강환경지수는 시간에 의한 차이는 통계적으로 유의하였다(F=5.961, p<.01). 넷째, 장애유형별 치면 세균막 상태의 변화는 시간에 의한 차이가 통계적으로 유의하였으며, 사후검증결과 1차와 4차간에 유의한 차이가 나타났다(F=5.126, p<.05). 마지막으로 연구대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 구강보건 인식도 변화는 성별, 연령, 장애유형, 교육기관, 학력 정도 등 모든 변인에서 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과, 장애인의 잇솔질은 2차교육 때까지 잇솔질 횟수의 증가를 보였으나 그 이후 잇솔질 횟수의 감소경향이 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 잇솔질 교육을 받은 후, 처음에는 흥미를 갖고 잘 실천하다가 시간이 지나면서 흥미를 잃어 원래의 생활 패턴으로 돌아가기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 그러나 간이구강환경지수나 치면 세균막 지수 등의 결과로 볼 때 올바른 잇솔질 방법으로 구강청결도는 증가함을 보였다. 장애인의 구강보건 교육은 잇솔질 교육을 장기간 하는 것보다는 주기적으로 흥미를 유발하면서 진행하는 것이 장애인의 구강건강 향상을 증진시키는 것이라 생각한다.

Objectives: This study was conducted to assess dental health states of disabled people and analyze association between perception and awareness toward dental health and dental health status. Methods: The survey was performed from June 25 through October 30, 2004. A total of 548 disabled people participated in the study with details of 419 living in eight residential care centers located in Gyeongsangbuk-do and 129 children from a special school and two day-care centers. All subjects underwent oral examination and surveyed through a questionnaire. Parents of 129 children with disabilities were also surveyed through a separate questionnaire. Results: The dental caries experience rate was 82.1% of total 548 subjects. By age, those in their 20s experienced a high rate of dental caries with 87.5%. By educational level, those with a middle school education experienced a high dental caries rate with 91.8% (p<0.05). Of total subjects who experienced dental caries, 78.9% had experience in dental caries treatment. By age, those in their 10s showed a high rate of dental caries treatment with 87.4%(p<0.05). By educational level, those with a high school education showed a high rate of dental caries treatment with 87.7%(p<0.05). Those in residential care centers had a high rate of dental caries treatment with 82.1%, which is significantly higher than 68.8% of those who used day-care centers. A tooth extraction rate was 38.0% of total subjects. Those in their 40s had a higher rate of tooth extraction(p<0.01). Those in residental care centers had a significantly higher rate of extraction with 43.4%, compared with 20.2% of those in day-care centers. Of total subjects, 61.5% had plaque. A high rate of plaque formation was observed in those in their 40s(92.0%), those with a high school education(84.0%) and those with multiple disabilities(77.8%)(p<0.01). Among total subjects, 47.6% maintained healthy periodontal tissue. Those in their 40s and those with multiple disabilities had diseased periodontal tissue(p<0.01). Of 129 disabled children, 43.8% had plaque with parents who were not oral health-conscious while 18.6% had plaque with parents who were oral health-conscious, showing a significant difference(p<0.05) Conclusion: The results of the study suggest the need for educating parents with disabled children about oral health and strengthening programs for oral health for teachers working at special schools and day-care centers.

The purpose of this study was to examine the state of visiting oral health programs and the opinions of dental hygienists on the programs in a bid to help boost the efficiency of visiting oral health programs, To meet the goals, 341 dental hygienists in public dental clinics across the nation were asked to join a questionaire survey via e-mail in September 2007, After their views were investigated, the following findings were given: 1. In regard to the management of visiting oral health programs, 44,3 percent of the respondents carried out visiting oral health programs, and 48,3 percent of that group did that in association with visiting health care programs, There were differences among the public dental clinics in beneficiaries of visiting oral health programs, beneficiary selection criteria and the details of oral health programs, which indicated the necessity of the development of standardized models. 2. As to difficulties in fulfilling visiting health care programs, a shortage of professional knowledge was viewed as the greatest hurdle, All their scores were above average, which implied that they were not able to perform the programs successfully. 3. As for the necessity and additional expected effects of visiting oral health programs, the largest number of the dental hygienists who carried them out expected that the programs would serve to change the mind-set of locals about themselves, And the others who didn't placed the most emphasis on cooperation from other departments, and the two groups had a statistically significantly different opinion. 4. Concerning the details of visiting health care programs, the dental hygienists who performed the programs found it most necessary to provide oral health education to employees and families to be visited, The others who didn't considered it most necessary to offer oral health education to people to be visited, The necessity of denture and prosthesis was least stressed by both groups, and they took a significantly different view of treatment for dental diseases, denture and prosthesis. 5. Regarding how to bolster visiting health care programs, the dental hygienist group that carried them out put more emphasis on everything suggested in the survey, Specifically, they attached greater importance to securing sufficient budget, establishing legal foundation, setting up an administration system and determining the directions for the programs in a realistic manner, which signified the desperate need for administrative and institutional backing.

주관적 구강건강인식은 본인의 구강건강상태를 스스로 대답하도록 하는 방법으로 구강병의 질병부담에 대한 역학적 지표로서 혹은 치료필요나 치료결과의 지표로서 사용될 수 있다하겠다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 청소년을 편의추출하여 주관적 구강건강인식과 구강건강행동을 구성하는 요인을 찾아 연관성을 분석함으로 적절한 구강건강행동을 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 우리나라 청소년의 주관적 구강건강인식은 33.1%가 좋거나 매우 좋다고 응답한 반면 67.8%는 보통 또는 그 이하라고 응답하였고, 아침에 칫솔질을 실천 하는 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 2.6배 주관적 구강건강인식이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전체적으로 칫솔질 실천을 할 때가 실천하지 않았을 때보다 통계적으로 유의하게 주관적 구강건강인식이 좋았다(<0.001). 이는 구강보건 교육을 통해 자신의 구강건강 상태를 올바로 인지하고, 올바른 건강행동으로 실천하는 것이야 말로 예방적 교육의 목표라 할 수 있겠다. 따라서 적절한 학교 구강보건교육의 프로그램과 그 기회를 증가시킬 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다.
