본 연구에서는 구강건강인식과 구강건강염려가 구강보건인식 및 스켈링 행태에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 조사대상은 서울 강남에 위치한 치과의원 2개소와, 강북에 위치한 2개소, 분당지역의 치과대학부속병원을 내원한 만 18세 이상 환자들을 대상으로 하였으며, 2006년 4월 5일부터 4월 28일까지 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하고, 291부를 SPSS 12.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 이에 그 결과를 분석한 바, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 자신의 구강상태를 건강하지 않다고 인식한 비율이 45.0%로 가장 높았고, 성별에 따라서는 여성(44.1%)에 비해 남성(46.3%)이 건강하지 못하다고 인식하는 비율이 조금 높았다. 2. 자기구강건강인식이 부정적 일수록 진료기관 선택을 친지 등의 권유(55.1%)에 의존하는 비율이 높았고, 구강건강염려정도는 항상 걱정한다는 응답률이 45.0%로 보통(15.1%)이거나 건강한 편(11.9%)이라고 인식하는 대상자와 유의한 차이를 보였다(P < 0.05). 3. 자기구강건강인식에 따른 잇솔질 횟수는 매식 후 3회 응답률이 건강한 편이 44.8%, 보통이 47.3%, 건강하지 못한 편이 41.2%로 큰 차이가 없었으나 4회 이상은 건강한 편이 26.9%로 가장 높았고, 보통이 9.7%, 건강하지 못한 편이 15.3%로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 4. 구강건강염려정도는 가끔 걱정함이 66.0%로 가장 높았고, 남녀차이는 유의하지 않았으나 연령별로는 연령이 높아질수록 항상 걱정함의 응답률이 유의하게 높아졌다(P < 0.05). 5. 구강건강염려정도가 '항상 걱정함'인 응답자 93.8%가 스켈링 경험이 있었고, 그 중 정기적인 스켈링을 하는 대상자는 65.8%로 '가끔 걱정함' 49.7%, '걱정하지 않음' 46.2%와 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 정기검진을 받고 있는 대상자도 55.6%로 '가끔 걱정함' 45.3%, '걱정하지 않음' 33.3%보다 높았다. 또한 아플 경우 미루지 않고 치과병의원을 내원하는 율도 71.6%로 유의한 차이를 보였다(P < 0.05). 고령화 사회로 진입한 현실에서 구강건강의 중요성과 삶의 질에 미치는 영향에 대한 인식이 증가되고 있다. 이에 실질적인 국민의 구강건강관련 삶의 질 증진을 위해 구강건강인식도를 적극 활용하여 치과치료의 필요도를 탐색하거나, 치료의 평가에 적극 활용함이 필요하다고 여겨진다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify relationships of periodontal disease and health related quality of life (HRQoL) in pregnant women. Methods: The participants in this study were 129 pregnant women. Data were collected using questionnaires of characteristics of the participants and subjective perception of periodontal disease and a dentist's assessment of periodontal disease. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: The physical QoL showed significant negative correlation with subjective perception of periodontal disease (r=-.21, p=.013). Mental QoL had significant negative correlations with subjective perception of periodontal disease (r=-.32, p<.001) and objective periodontal disease (r=-.34, p<.001). Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that pregnant women who had a history of abortion and had higher subjective perception of periodontal disease tended to report lower levels of physical QoL. Pregnant women whose age are between 30-34 years and higher subjective perception and objective periodontal disease tended to report lower mental QoL. Conclusion: To improve HRQoL of pregnant women, nurses should pay attention on the status of periodontal disease. Careful assessment of oral healthy behaviors and proper intervention for oral health of pregnant women are needed to enhance HRQoL of pregnant women.

전신질환과 구강건강의 상관성에 대해 대학생들이 어느 정도 인식하고 있는지를 파악하기 위해 광주광역시 지역 3개 대학교 약 485명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 여자가 남자보다 높았으며, 4학년에서 가장 높게 인식하고 있었다. 주관적 건강상태, 음주여부, 흡연경험 및 운동여부는 전신질환과 구강건강의 연관성을 인식하는데 있어서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 구강보건교육 경험이 있는 그룹에서 3.18로 인식하고 있었고, 교육내용에 대한 실천을 하는 그룹에서 3.21로 높게 인식하고 있었다. 두 군에서는 그룹 간 유의한 차이를 보였다. 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과 전공계열 요인과 학년 요인이 전신질환과 구강건강의 연관성 인식도에 영향을 준 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 대학생들에게 구강 정기검진의 중요성과 필요성을 인식시킬 필요가 있으며, 질병의 발생은 한 가지에서 끝나는 것이 아니라 여러 가지 질병에 상관관계가 있다는 것을 인식하게 할 교육을 강화하여 시행할 필요가 있을 것이라 생각된다.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of the Oral Health Education Program (OHEP) on the change in the children's brushing behavior and reduction in the dental plaque index (PI) and to identify changes in their parents' perception of oral health. Methods: The OHEP was applied 44 children recruited from two childcare centers. We conducted a self-reported survey of the parents at baseline and evaluated the oral conditions of the children at baseline and after 5 weeks. Their brushing behavior was assessed once a week during the OHEP intervention period and daily at home thereafter. We measured the PI after a 12-week follow-up and performed repeated measures analysis of varience. Results: The average PI score of children significantly decreased at week 5 as compared to the baseline (1.90±0.53, p<0.001), despite a substantial increase in week 12 (2.67±0.08, p<0.001). OHEP was effective in reducing the PI score and modifying their brushing behavior. Conclusions: OHEP effectively modified the brushing the behavior of the children. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and expand a systematic oral health education program to promote self-management of oral health in children.

Objectives : To obtain necessary fundamental data for the development of oral health improvement programs for senior citizens in the manner of investigating the Status of their oral health. Methods : Data were collected from 346 senior citizens aged 65 years or older who had lived in Seoul and Gyeonggido province, Republic of Korea. This study was conducted for 3 months from April 2011 to June 2011. Excluding those obtained from 34 respondents who gave inadequate responses to given questions, the data from 312 respondents were analyzed. Results : 1. The number of senior citizens who chose 'Sometimes' to as an answer to the question about the self-perception of their own oral conditions such as mastication, swallowing, gingiva hemorrhage, dry mouth, and/or oral malodor was the largest. As an answer to the question about the presence of interpersonal avoidance, 'No' accounted for the largest proportion. The number of respondents choosing gingiva treatment regarding the perception of the necessity for medical interventions was the largest. 2. In regard to the knowledge of oral health care, the percentage of correct answers was the highest for 'I brush my tooth before each meal' ($0.69{\pm}0.156$), while the lowest percentage of correct answers was seen for 'Gingival diseases can be improved by medications' ($0.33{\pm}0.472$). Conclusions : Based upon the above mentioned results, the author conclude that developing relevant national programs and support policies at a national level as well as implementing proactive and systematic home-visiting oral health programs at the levels of local autonomous entities or communities will lead to significant improvements in senior citizens' oral health and QoL (quality of life).
