Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between dental fear and subjective oral health-related quality of life. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 320 subjects in Seoul and Gyeonggido from June to August, 2014 after permission from Institutional Review Board (IRB). Except incomplete 9 copies, 311 data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 19.0 program. The questionnaire consisted of five questions of the general characteristics of the subjects, twelve questions of oral health related quality of life, eighteen questions of dental fear, and one question of awareness toward subjective health status. Results: The explanation power of subjective oral health-related quality of life on dental fear was 26.2 percent. As the subjective oral health-related quality of life increased by 1 point, the dental fear decreased at the rate of 0.645 (p<0.001). Conclusions: Higher subjective oral health-related quality of life will diminish the dental fear. Regular dental checkups and preventive treatment are very important to enhance the oral health-related quality of life in those who visit the dental clinic.

Objectives: This study aimed to validate the moderating effect of oral health on the relationship between perceived health status and health-related quality of life in the elderly and to use this information as primary data to suggest oral health policies for the aged society. Methods: This study included 3,707 subjects aged over 65 years who answered all the variables used in the study model and completed the health questionnaire and screening survey based on the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Baron & Kenny's linear regression analysis using SPSS 22.0 and SPSS Macro Version 3.1 programs was performed to confirm the moderating effect of the number of remaining natural teeth, chewing difficulty, and cardiovascular disease on the relationship between perceived health status and healthrelated quality of life in the elderly. Results: The number of remaining natural teeth, chewing difficulties, and cardiovascular diseases affected the perceived health status of the elderly. As the number of remaining natural teeth increased, the effect of perceived health status on the quality of life in the elderly was buffered. The effect of perceived health status on the quality of life increased with chewing difficulties and the number of cardiovascular diseases. In particular, it was confirmed that chewing difficulties, rather than the number of cardiovascular diseases. had a greater effect on the quality of life in the elderly. Conclusions: Oral health policies and projects are required to ensure oral rehabilitation with dentures and implants and restore chewing function to improve the quality of life of the elderly in Korea.

본 연구는 국내거주 중국인 유학생의 흡연경험 유무에 따른 구강건강관련 자기효능감과 삶의 질의 관계를 파악하고자 부산시내에 위치한 지역대학 내 중국 유학생을 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료를 SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 통해 분석한 결과 흡연 비경험자가 흡연 경험자보다 칫솔질과 구강건강관리 관련 자기효능감, 구강건강관련 삶의 질의 점수가 각각 높게 나타나 유의한 결과가 나타났다. 칫솔질 자기효능감은 구강건강관리 관련 자기효능감과 정적 상관을 가지고 있었고, 구강건강관리 관련 자기효능감은 구강건강 삶의 질과 정적 상관을 가지고 있어 유의미한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 흡연경험의 유무는 외국인 유학생의 구강건강증진 및 삶의 질 향상과 관계가 있는 것으로 나타나 건강한 유학생활을 위해 구강건강증진 프로그램 개발의 필요성을 전달하여 기초자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.

Objectives: The main purpose of this study was to examine factors contributing the quality of life related to oral heath such as level of oral health knowledge, subjective knowledge on oral health, awareness of oral health and OHIP-14, and furthermore to analyze any relations among these factors. Methods: The questionnaire survey was carried out on a convenience sample of 230 middle school students at the selected middle school in Chungcheongnam-do. T-test and one-way ANOVA and correlation test were conducted over the collected datas using SPSS 12.0(SPSS 12.0 KOR for Windows, SPSS Inc, Chicago, USA). Results: The results of the study are as follows: 1. 6.38 was average score for oral health knowledge and 10.0 was the maximum. Subjective oral health awareness scored of average 2.99 with maximum of 5.0. OHIP-14 corresponded to average 4.30 and maximum 5.0. 2. Different level of oral heath knowledge was resulted from that of education, which means the greater level of oral health knowledge indicated greater awareness of oral health. 3. OHIP-14 was higher for those who lived with their parents than those who in did not(P=0.012). 4. There exhibits a proportional relationship between subjective awareness of oral health and OHIP-14(r=0.297). Conclusion: It was found that subjective awareness of oral health partially influences to OHIP-14. In other words, subjective awareness of oral health has an effect on the quality of life related to oral health. Hence, there needs more effort on oral health education and oral disorder prevention activities in order to improve subjective awareness of oral health.

본 연구는 고혈압 노인의 질병관련 특성과 구강건강상태가 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구대상자는 K시의 보건소에 등록된 65세 이상의 고혈압 노인 108명이며, 자료수집기간은 2020년1월 부터 2월까지였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 22.0프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, chi-square test, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, stepwise regression으로 분석하였다. 본 연구대상자의 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 주관적 건강상태(β=.351, p=.002), 체질량지수(BMI)(β=.271, p=.024), 나이(β=-.260, p=.028)로 확인되었고 설명력은 46.0%(F=9.02, p<.001)였다. 즉, 주관적 건강상태와 체질량지수가 높을수록, 나이가 적을수록 구강건강관련 삶의 질이 높았다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 고혈압 노인의 구강건강관련 삶의 질 향상을 위해 구강건강 유지의 중요성에 대한 교육이 필요하다.
