Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of chronic disease on oral health behavior. Methods: The subjects were 317 adults over 30-years old living in urban and rural areas. They were selected by convenience sampling method and filled out the self-reported questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics, dental treatment, chronic disease, and oral health behavior including oral health self-care behavior and professional oral health care. Results: The self-care oral health behavior and the professional oral health care had a negative correlation with the chronic diseases. Especially, the self-care oral health behavior and the professional oral health care had a statistically significant negative correlation with hypertension and osteoporosis. Multiple regression analysis was performed after including general characteristics, dental treatment, chronic disease. Meanwhile the presence of chronic disease had a significant influence on the self-care oral health behavior and the professional oral health care. Hypertension and Osteoporosis were the most influential factors of chronic diseases and had a significant influence on the oral health behavior. In conclusion, the chronic diseases aggravated the oral health behavior practice. Conclusions: presence of chronic disease affects oral health behavior. Therefore, the effective intervention and education programs related to oral health care are necessary to enhance adult's oral health behavior and total health. The continuous follow-up study will determine the causal relationship between oral health behavior and the presence of chronic disease.

The purpose of this study was to examine the health segment of the 7th national physical education curriculum in an effort to grasp the state of oral health education in the school curriculum. And it's also meant to investigate the relationship between oral health education and the oral health awareness of some high schoolers to check into any possible problems with oral health education as part of health education. The subjects in this study were 240 students from two different girls' high schools in Seoul, on whom a survey was conducted to find out their oral health knowledge, behavior and awareness. And the health category of the current P.E. curriculum announced by the Ministry of Education was analyzed. The findings of the study were as follows: Oral health education provided by the high schools as part of health education in P.E. class wasn't linked to P.E. theories and practice. The weight of oral health education was extremely small in the health segment, and there was no sequence, continuity and integration among the content systems of oral health education for different grades. When some high schoolers were investigated, they weren't properly oral health conscious, though it was very important for students to receive oral health education to prevent and manage dental diseases. And they didn't consequently take care of their own oral health. Future research efforts should be channeled from diverse angles into developing oral health education curriculums to bolster school oral health education to improve national oral health.

삶의 질에 대한 관심이 증가함에 따라 건강과 관련된 삶의 질 향상에 대한 관심도 증가하고 있다. 구강건강의 관점에서도 구강질환이 삶의 질을 저하시키며, 구강질환의 예방이 삶의 질을 향상시킨다. 본 연구에서는 구강보건지식과 구강보건실천 정도, 구강건강상태, 그리고 구강건강 관련 삶의 질의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 부산지역에 소재한 종합병원 치과, 치과병원 및 치과의원에 내원한 환자 311명을 대상으로 2010년 3월 16일부터 한달간 구조화된 자기기입식 설문지를 사용하여 대상자의 일반적 특징 및 구강보건지식, 구강보건실천, 구강건강관련 삶의 질(OHIP-14) 등에 대한 자료를 수집하였으며, 치과의사 11명이 치경과 탐침으로 사랑니를 제외한 28개의 치아를 대상으로 우식경험치아수(DMF index)를 확인하였다. 분석결과, 구강보건지식은 구강보건실천에, 구강보건실천은 우식경험치아수와 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 우식경험치아수도 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 유의한 변수임을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 구강보건지식은 우식경험치아수와 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 직접적인 영향요인이 아니라, 구강보건실천의 매개를 통해 간접적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 구강건강관련 삶의 질을 높이기 위해서는 직접적인 효과를 가지고 있는 구강보건실천 수준과 우식경험영구치아수를 적절히 관리할 수 있도록 하는 방안마련이 절실히 요구됨을 말해주고 있다. 즉 우식경험치아수는 구강보건실천에 직접적으로 영향을 받는 변수이므로 단순히 구강건강관련 지식만을 전달하기보다는 태도의 변화와 실천 행동을 유도할 수 있는 구강보건교육 프로그램을 개발함으로써 구강질환의 예방과 조기치료로 이어지도록 해야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to classify the courses of the dental-hygiene curricula into several categories by field, to incorporate the subjects in the same category into an integrated course, and to suggest how to ensure the successful phase-in application of integrative education according to Ronald M. Harden's 11-stage integrative ladder model. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. When the existing curricula were analyzed, it's found that many credits were provided to the courses in the area of basic dentistry that offered both theory and practice. In particular, the subjects tested by the national examination were offered by every college. In the field of public oral health, the largest number of credits was allocated to theory of oral prophylaxis and practice courses. In clinical area, clinical practice, in the area of dental office management, dental insurance course was given the largest credit. There were 31 to 61 major subjects in the colleges, which indicated that the major subjects were segmented in detail. 2. It seemed necessary to incorporate the subjects in the field of basic dentistry into oral biology, and theory of oral prophylaxis/practice, preventive dentistry/practice, preclinical stage, emergency treatment and introduction to dental hygiene should be integrated in to clinical dental hygiene. The courses in clinical area should be combined into clinical dentistry, and in the field of medical management, dental insurance, hospital management and medical relation law should be incorporated into management of dental clinic. 3. In the 11-stage integrative ladder, the subjects in the same field could perfectly be incorporated as the stages advanced. Each of the subjects was less emphasized, and communication and joint plans among teachers who were respectively in charge of the courses were increasingly considered important. Specifically, there should be a consensus among the teachers in regard to the outline of teaching programs, order of education. objects and objectives of programs and what and how to evaluate.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the textbook content, specifically that of the oral health units, of Korean elementary health textbooks in order to discuss oral health education in elementary schools through textbooks. Methods: The study analyzed the "oral health" units of six health textbooks for students in the fifth and sixth grades of elementary school in Korea. It identified the number of pictures, practice contents, and summaries in the textbooks, calculating the proportion of oral health units relative to the total number of pages in the textbook and comparing the learning goals provided by the WHO with the education contents. In addition, the study also analyzed several keywords from the textbooks in terms of whether they relate to oral health. Results: The comprehensive analysis on the oral health units within the three health textbooks analyzed revealed that all three were similar, except that the textbook from publisher A did not include an introduction. The three textbooks also had differences in terms of the organization of the contents. In terms of the learning goals of the oral health units, there were differences between the WHO standards and the learning goals from the textbooks, with the WHO standards only partially reflected. The analysis also showed that there were more keywords on oral diseases than those related to oral health management and prevention. Conclusions: Improvements should be made regarding the learning goals and education topics of health education in order to ensure that children receive a more systematic oral health education in their earlier years, which will help to develop and correct oral health management habits among elementary school students.
