본 연구는 전라북도에 소재하고 있는 구강진료기관에 내원한 18세 이상의 성인환자 350명을 대상으로 구강보건교육에 대한 태도 및 행동실태를 파악하여 진료실에서의 구강보건교육의 중요성을 재인식 시키고자 시행하였으며, 2004년 3월 22일부터 4일 10일까지 자기기입식에 의한 설문조사를 한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 일반적 특성에 따른 구강보건교육의 경험에서는 여자가 남자보다, 학력에서는 대학교 졸업 이상이, 직업별로는 주부에서 구강보건교육 경험율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 2. 일반적 특성에 따른 구강보건교육 후 실천에서는 여자가 남자보다 실천도가 높았으며, 연령에서는 30대가 가장 높았고, 학력에서는 학력이 높을수록, 직업에서는 공무원이 실천도가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 구강보건교육을 받은 후 실천할 수 없었던 이유로는 62.9%가 관심이 없어서라고 응답하였다. 3. 구강보건교육 내용으로 가장 많은 응답자 35.2%가 치석 제거를 받아 보았다고 응답하였으며, 잇솔질 외 보조구강 위생용품에서는 치실이 42.2%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 4. 구강보건교육을 받은 후 행동의 변화에 대해 46.9%가 잇솔질 횟수가 증가 했다고 가장 많은 응답을 하였으며, 식이조절이 10.4%로 사용이 가장 저조한 것으로 나타났다. 5. 구강보건교육 유무에 따른 구강위생 관리 실태는 잇솔질 방법에는 유의한 차이가 없었으며 치석제거 주기는 1년 이상~2년이 25.7%로 가장 높게 나타났고, 치실 및 치간 칫솔의 사용여부는 구강보건교육 경험이 있는 환자에서는 30.6%가 사용을 하고 있었으며, 경험이 없는 환자에서는 5.9%가 사용하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

인구사회학적 특성과 건강행태 및 스트레스 정도에 따른 만성질환과 구강건강의 연관성에 대한 인식도에 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 20대부터 50대까지의 성인을 대상으로 분석하여, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 연구대상자의 만성 질환과 구강건강과의 연관성에 대한 인식도는 구강건강과 당뇨와의 연관성이 3.29로 가장 높게 인식하고 있었으며, 고혈압과의 연관성은 2.82로 가장 낮은 인식도를 보였다. 특히 '항고혈압제 약의 부작용으로 구강건조증, 잇몸출혈, 치유지연, 잇몸비대 등이 나타날 수 있다'라는 항목은 전체 항목에서 1.52로 가장 낮은 인식도로 나타났다. 인구사회학적특성에 따른 만성질환과 구강건강과의 연관성에 대한 인식도를 분석한 결과 직업에 따른 인식도 차이는 통계적으로 유의하였는데 공무원, 전문직 집단에서 가장 높은 인식도를 보였다(p=0.015). 이상의 연구 결과를 종합해볼 때 만성질환과 구강건강의 연관성에 대한 일반인들의 인식을 전환시켜야 할 필요성이 있으며, 치과진료실에서는 구강보건교육시 단순한 구강건강관리뿐만 아니라 통합적인 건강관리의 방향으로 만성질환을 포함한 전신과 구강건강과의 연관성에 대한 교육을 강화하여 수행할 필요성이 있을 것으로 판단된다.

2013년 9월 9일부터 11월 2일까지 편의추출법에 의해 전라북도 군산시 소재의 학교구강보건실을 운영 중인 5개 초등학교 교사 133명과 설치 운영하지 않는 5개 초등학교 교사 144명을 대상으로 학교구강보건실 및 예방사업 인지에 대해 설문지를 이용하여 조사한 후 IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 프로그램으로 빈도분석과 교차분석을 실시하였다. 중요하다고 생각하는 구강건강사업의 우선순위에 대해 학교구강보건실 운영 학교에서는 불소도포와 구강보건교육(71.1%)을, 비 운영 학교 교사들은 구강보건교육(76.5%)을 가장 중요하게 생각하고 있었다. 학교구강보건실 운영 학교 교사 87.0%는 학생들의 구강건강상태가 개선되었다고 하였다. 학교구강보건실 비 운영 학교 교사 74.4%는 학교구강보건사업에 대해 들어본 적이 없다고 하였으나 85.8%의 교사들이 학교구강보건사업이 실시된다면 학생의 구강건강상태가 나아질 것으로 기대하고 있었다. 학교구강보건실 운영학교의 57.7%는 예방사업인력이 충분치 않다고 하였다. 이상으로 학교구강보건실의 원활한 사업수행은 학교 구성원들의 구강건강증진과 나아가 지역사회 구성원들에게도 많은 영향을 끼치게 되므로 구강보건실 비 운영 학교를 대상으로 학교구강보건실 설치의 필요성에 대한 국가적 차원의 적극적인 홍보가 필요하다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the oral health knowledge and actual oral health care of the selected subjects, their decision making about prosthetic treatment, the state and characteristics of their prosthetic treatment and their satisfaction with prosthetic treatment in an attempt to provide some information on the improvement of the quality of life related to oral health and the promotion of oral health. Methods : The subjects in this study were 250 people who received education in two different lifelong education institutions in the city of Busan. After a survey was conducted from May 23 to June 15, 2011, the answer sheets from 217 respondents were analyzed. Results : 1. As for the general characteristics of the respondents, the men(52.1%) outnumbered the women. Those who were in their 60 and up(47.5%) made up the largest age group, and the married people(65.4%) outnumbered the unmarried ones. By occupation, the company employees(20.3%) made up the biggest group. By education, the greatest group was high-school graduates(36.1%). By monthly mean income, the biggest group gained an income of 2.01 million won or more(36.9%). As to medical security, community-based insurance was most prevailing (36.9%). In terms of health promotion, the largest group worked out to stay fit(52.4%). 2. Regarding oral health knowledge, they had a good knowledge about the cause of dental caries(56.7%), but they weren't well aware of the right time for regular dental checkup(47.9%). In relation to oral health care, regular scaling wasn't prevailing(16.9%). 3. Regarding connections between the general characteristics and satisfaction with prosthesis, the less-educated respondents expressed significantly more dissatisfaction(p=0.015). By monthly mean income, those who had a smaller income were dissatisfied in general(p=0.028). Conclusions : The findings of the study illustrated that it's required to spread awareness of the importance of oral health among people in general, and that differentiated incremental oral health care should be provided for different age groups. In order to raise the satisfaction of patients with prosthesis, how to relieve their pain and anxiety and how to adjust prosthetic treatment cost properly should carefully be considered. In addition, the government should take measures to offer assistance for the low-income classes in preparation for an increase in the elderly population.

연구목적: 본 연구는 포괄치위생관리(Comprehensive Dental Hygiene Care; CDHC) 과정 적용에 따른 스케일링 경험 대상자의 구강건강신념과 만족도를 확인하고자 수행하였다. 연구방법: 2020년 7월 1일부터 2020년 9월 20일까지 치과 병·의원에서 스케일링을 받은 대상자 182명의 자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. 자료는 SPSS Statistics 22.0을 이용하여 빈도분석, chi-square, t-test, One way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis를 실시하였다. 연구결과: 구강건강행태는 CDHC 적용 그룹에서 칫솔, 치약 외 구강관리용품 사용 92.4%(p<0.001), 구강관리를 위한 정기적인 치과 방문이 67.4%였다(p<0.001). 일반적 특성에 따른 구강건강신념은 CDHC 적용 그룹에서 연령 '50-65세'가 2.41로 가장 높았고, 사후검정 결과 '20-29세'와 유의한 차이가 있었다(p <0.001). CDHC 적용 그룹에서 구강건강행태에 따른 구강건강신념은 스케일링 주기 '3개월'이 가장 높았다(p<0.05). CDHC 적용 그룹의 구강건강신념 하위 요소인 유익성(p <0.01)과 중요성(p<0.05)이 높을수록 만족도와 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 결론: CDHC 적용이 스케일링 경험 대상자들의 구강건강신념과 만족도에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다. CDHC 과정 적용은 구강건강신념과 만족도를 높이는 매개로써 임상에 더욱 확산하여야 할 것이다.
