A total of 233 questionnaires were properly completed while 7 questionnaires had insincere sections and were thus excepted. Results : 1. Children's higher level of oral health-related knowledge have more positive oral health attitudes(p=0.000) and oral health behaviors(p=0.001). 2. The higher oral health behavior mothers have, the more students have oral health knowledge and better oral health attitude, the higher the oral health behavior children have(p<0.01). 3. Students' positive attitude towards oral health(${\beta}$=0.548, p=0.000) and Mother's more attention to Oral check after tooth-brushing(${\beta}$=-0.149, p=0.005) were associated with children's sound dental health behaviors. Conclusions : The findings of this study suggest that the oral health knowledge, attitude and behaviors are associated with students' oral health behavior. Thus, effective support in oral health education, is need to be enhanced among the elementary school students rather than only focus on conveying knowledge to them.

본 연구는 초등학교 고학년생의 학교구강보건예방사업에 관한 구강보건지식에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 보호자와 학생의 구강보건행태와 학교구강보건실 운영과의 관련성을 검토하고자 시도하였다. 연구대상은 학교구강보건실을 운영하는 전라남도 무안군 소재의 1개 초등학교와 학교구강보건실을 비운영하는 목포시 소재의 1개 초등학교 고학년 학생 178명과 동일 학생의 보호자 178명을 대상으로 연구하였고, 자료수집 기간은 2014년 5월 2일부터 5월 26일까지 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 학교구강보건실의 비운영은 학생의 학교구강보건실 구강보건예방사업에 관한 지식과 음의 관계를 가졌지만 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았고, 학생의 학교구강보건예방사업에 관한 구강보건지식에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 보호자의 구강보건교육경험이 있을수록, 학생의 구강보건교육에 대한 참여의사가 높을수록, 주관적인 구강건강수준이 건강할수록 지식이 높아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 32.6%의 설명력을 보였다. 이와 같은 결과는 학생의 구강보건지식에 관한 영향 요인으로 학생의 구강보건행위, 보호자의 구강보건행위가 관련되어 있고, 학교구강보건실 운영이 학생과 보호자의 구강건강관리를 위한 구강보건지식에 긍정적인 영향을 미침을 시사한다.

A self-administered survey was conducted, and the collected data were analyzed by a spss(statistical package for the social science) win 12.0 program to find out their demographic characteristics, oral health awareness, oral health behavior and factors for the choice of a dental institution. Results : 1. Concerning the level of oral health awareness, 47.0 percent were at a low level(0 to three scores), and 35.2 percent were at an intermediate level(four to six scores). 2. As to oral health behavior involving a daily mean toothbrushing frequency, they brushed their teeth 2.65 times per day on the average. The most widely utilized oral hygiene supply was mouth rinse. Regarding oral health status, 53.7 percent weren't in good dental health, and just 23.0 percent got a dental checkup on a regular basis. 45.8 percent of those who didn't get a dental checkup cited time constraints as the reason. 26.0 percent received oral health education, and 91.4 percent were aware of the necessity of a corporate incremental dental care system. 3. Marital status, age and the reliability of dental institutions made differences to their choice of a dental institution. 4. As for the relationship between oral health awareness and the factors for the choice of a dental institution, oral health awareness had a statistically significant positive correlation to the reliability of dental institutions. Conclusions : The above-mentioned findings suggest that oral health education enables workers to have a correct knowledge on oral health, to change their own oral health behavior and to make the right choice of a dental institution in consideration of their oral characteristics. They should be urged to get a regular dental checkup not to develop chronic oral diseases so that they couldn't have to receive first-aid dental treatment. To promote the oral health of workers, oral health care personnels available should be utilized, and the incremental dental care system should be more vitalized to cut down on their effective demand for dental treatment.
