본 연구는 근로자들의 구강보건 지식, 태도, 행위와 구강 자각증상 및 구강건강관련 삶의 질(OHIP-14)을 조사하고 구강건강관련 삶의 질 향상에 영향을 미치는 요인과 영향관계를 파악함으로써, 근로자 구강건강증진사업을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 편의표본추출법을 적용하여 서울, 경기, 인천지역에서 근무하는 근로자 398명을 대상으로 2013년 3월 26일부터 4월 30일까지 자기기입식에 의한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 구강보건지식, 태도, 행위 및 구강자각증상이 구강건강관련 삶의 질의 수준에 미치는 영향력과 이들 변수의 영향관계를 분석하기 위하여 경로분석을 실시한 결과 OHIP-14에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강자각증상이었고, 구강보건행위는 간접효과가 있었다. 구강자각증상에 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강보건행위였고, 구강보건지식과 태도는 간접적인 영향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 구강보건행위에 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강보건지식 및 태도였고, 구강보건지식은 태도에 영향을 미쳤다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 근로자의 구강건강관련 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해서는 우선적으로 구강자각증상을 줄이기 위한 방안을 마련해야 하며, 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 대해 간접효과가 확인된 구강보건행위를 향상시키기 위한 노력이 필요하다. 따라서 근로자의 구강자각증상을 줄이기 위한 구강검진 및 진료사업과 구강보건행위 향상을 위한 구강보건교육사업이 포함된 근로자 구강건강증진사업을 개발하여 적용할 필요가 있다고 생각된다.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between oral health professionals' knowledge, attitude, and practice with regard to infectious waste management and to identify related factors influencing it. Methods: The study comprised of 219 oral health professionals from select dental clinics and public health centers recruited between August 25, 2016 and September 5, 2016, who agreed to participate in the study with full understanding of the study objectives. A self-reported questionnaire was administered, which consisted of 22 items on knowledge of infectious waste management, 9 items on attitude, and 16 items on practice. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression analyses. Results: The age, knowledge, and clinical attitude of oral health professionals significantly correlated with waste management practice. Specifically, infectious waste management practice improved with increasing age, a greater level of knowledge, and a more positive clinical attitude. Additionally, the standardized regression coefficient demonstrated that, of these three factors, clinical attitude more strongly correlated with effective waste management practice, followed by age and level of knowledge. Conclusions: These results indicated that oral health professionals had a low level of knowledge regarding infectious waste management, and a more positive clinical attitude resulted in better practices. Therefore, the development of detailed and active education guidelines and strategies are needed to enhance the attitude, knowledge, and practice of oral health professionals with regard to infectious waste management.

This study was performed to find variables which affect oral health care of infants. The subjects were 439 infants and their mothers who live in suburban area. Oral examinations for the infants were conducted and the questionnairs were given to infants' mothers. Toothbrushing frequency, oral hygiene score, the percentage of filled teeth among decayed teeth, and dental treatment experience of infants were used as dependent variable, respectively. Demographic, socio-economic variables and the other variables which might affect oral health care of infants were used as independent variables. Correlation analysis and analysis of variance were used for the independent variables of toothbrushing frequency, oral hygiene score, and the percentage of filled teeth among decayed teeth of infant. Chi-Square and Student's t-test were used for the dependent variables of dental treatment experience of infant. The obtained results were as follows; 1. Toothbrushing frequency of mother and internal locus of oral control of mother were the factors which affect toothbrusing frequency of infants. 2. Oral health belief of mother was the factor which affect oral hygiene score of infants. 3. Age of infant was the factor which affect the percentage of filled teeth among decayed teeth. 4.
