Objectives : This study was carried out with the aim of utilizing it as basic data in a plan for oral health promotion by analyzing oral-health awareness in high school students of some districts in our country, and by analyzing physical, mental and social influential factors in oral health, through using OHIP(Oral Health Impact Profile). Methods : It surveyed by carrying out self-administered questionnaire research targeting 536 boy & girl high school students in the 1st and the 2nd grade at 3 high schools in some districts of Gyeonggi Province. Results : 1. As for experience of having not visited dental clinic, a case of having not visited accounted for 32.5%. On the other hand, a case of having visited accounted for 67.5%. As for the appearance of oral health education, only 2.8% responded as saying of having experience. 97.2% responded as saying of having not taken oral health education. 2. As for oral health state perceived by oneself, the response as saying of 'thinking it to be healthy' and that 'there is something wrong' showed the distribution of 34.1% that is the same ratio. As for oral health interest, a case of having a little interest(58.4%) or of being so much interested(12.5%) showed 70.9%. A case of having no special interest(24.8%) or of having no interest at all(4.3%) showed the level of 29.1%.3. As for oral health knowledge, the toothbrushing knowledge was the highest with 4.54 marks out of 6-point perfection. The toothbrush knowledge(4-point perfection) showed low point with 2.05 marks. 4. By gender, a case of men was high in OHIP(Oral Health Impact Profile) for the functional restriction and physical pain. On the other hand, in the remaining sphere, women were indicated to be high in OHIP. The statistically significant difference was indicated in the spheres such as physical pain, psychological discomfort, a drop in psychological ability, a drop in social ability, and social separation. 5. According to oral health state perceived by oneself, a case of thinking it to be healthy was indicated to be high in OHIP for every sphere. A case of thinking it to have gum disease was indicated to be low in OHIP for every sphere. The statistically significant difference was indicated in every sphere except the sphere of functional restriction. 6. As for a factor of having influence upon OHIP according to oral health knowledge, it was indicated that the higher toothbrush knowledge leads to having more influence upon OHIP. Conclusions : It could be known that the oral health knowledge and OHIP are varied as well according to the oral health interest level. Also, the oral health education proper for subjects is not being performed. Even as for frequency of visiting the dentist, a regular visit is failing to be made. In consideration of these points, the diversified and effective educational program is likely considered to be necessarily developed and improved that subjects can have more interest in oral health.

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 aimed to investigate the actual smoking status, knowledge of oral health related to smoking, and attitude toward smoking cessation in 161 health students of the University in Jeonnam. This was done to examine the role of smoking cessation guidance as health care professionals after graduation. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 18.0. The significance level was α=0.05. Of those surveyed, 33.3% had previously smoked, and 30.4% were current smokers. The high school period had the highest smoking rate, at 59.2%. A daily smoking rate of 20 or more cigarettes was the highest at 30.4%. Of the respondents, 68.3% had received smoking cessation, while 10.6% said that they were encouraged by others to quit, such as friends. As a result of a correlation analysis between major satisfaction, smoking-related oral health knowledge, and attitudes toward smoking cessation, major satisfaction showed a negative correlation(r=-.394, -.337^*) with smoking-related oral health knowledge and attitude towards smoking cessation. Smoking-related oral health knowledge showed a positive correlation(r=.546^**) with attitude towards smoking cessation. As a result of a regression analysis, the knowledge of oral health related to smoking was the primary variable that affected the attitude towards smoking cessation(t=6.799, p<0.001). Based on these results, it is suggested that education on smoking cessation and the risk of smoking is delivered so that health care workers can be better prepared and educated for their future roles.

The Status of oral health and dental prosthetic treatment in Daegu and Gyoung Buk area was examined. To investigate the correlation between factors such as demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and status of oral health and knowledge about oral preventive measures, a survey was performed. After analyzing the effects of knowledge levels about dental prosthetic treatment on the oral health status and preventive measures, following results were obtained. A Total of 625 people participated in the survey for three months from October 2007 to January 2008. The responses from the survey were then analyzed to assess whether those with less knowledge of preventive measures tended to have more dental prosthetic work. Of those that took part in the survey: ${\cdot}$ 30.2% were in their twenties ${\cdot}$ 56.2% were married ${\cdot}$ 51.4% of respondents had at least a college degree ${\cdot}$ 42.4% had monthly incomes below one million Won ${\cdot}$ 24.3% were students ${\cdot}$ 55.8% were from urban areas After studying the relationship between oral health and various demographics, researchers concluded that respondents' sex, income, job and place of residence had no effect on the overall status of their oral health. However, those that were divorcees or widows (1.95${_+}/{_-}$ 0.32), over the age of 70 (1.67${_+}/{_-}$0.31), or had little education (0.82${_+}/{_-}$0.28), all demonstrated a statistically significant effect on their oral health with a significance level of 0.05.Cross analysis revealed a p-value of 0.000. The correlation between knowledge of oral preventive measures and other factors was examined. No difference was found between men and women but people who were divorced or lost their spouse, people over the age of 60, and people with no education, the results of knowledge of oral preventive measure was poor as 1.74$\pm$0.44, 1.85$\pm$0.40, 1.85$\pm$0.44,and 1.60$\pm$0.47 separately. Cross analysis showed that p-value was 0.000 and correlation between knowledge of oral preventive measures and those factors were statistically significant at significance level of 0.05. The status of dental prosthetic treatment was investigated. Women, people with higher income, and married people had more dental prosthetic treatment and it was related to education, income, residential area, and the status of dental prosthetic treatment. The returns of those factors was 32.7%. Respondents$^{\circ}{\emptyset}$ oral hygiene status and knowledge of oral preventive measures was related to demographic or socioeconomic factors. Therefore, a preventive program for oral health care needs to be developed in advanced countries. Knowledge of oral health is below the international average and more research and effort needs to be put in to develop public knowledge of dental prosthetic treatment. Government intervention such as enacting an oral health initiative or dental insurance that covers prosthetic treatments is urgently needed.

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 develop an educational program to promote oral health habits and to analyze it's effects among elementary students. The study was a "one group, pre-test, post-test design", which included 158 3rd grade students from three elementary schools in Seoul. The effects were measured after each group had received a 40 minute program each week for three weeks. The program consisted of a lecture, 1:1 tooth brushing demonstration and practice, and viewing the oral health DVD. The students were given a questionnaire with 26 questions at the beginning and at the end of the study (6 questions about their toothbrushing habits, 5 oral health related habit questions, and 15 oral health related knowledge questions). All students received an oral-health practice pamphlet at the beginning of the program. The students who participated in the program had higher levels of oral health knowledge (t=27.23, p<.001), better toothbrushing habits (t=13.72, p<.001), and oral related habits ($X^2=34.22$, p<.001) after receiving the structured oral health educational program.

본 연구는 치위생학과와 보건계열학과, 비보건계열학과 여학생들의 구강보건인식, 지식, 행태 등에 관하여 비교분석하여 대학생들의 구강건강증진과 구강 보건교육의 기초자료를 제공하고자 광주광역시에 소재한 H대학에 재학 중인 591명을 대상으로 개별자기 기입식 설문조사를 실시하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 구강건강에 대한 관심도, 구강건강에 대한 중요성 인식, 자신의 구강건강상태에 대한 인식 모두 치위생학과 학생이 가장 높게 나타났고, 다음으로 비보건계열, 보건계열 순으로 나타났다. 전공별 구강보건지식 수준은 치위생학과 학생(9.73)이 가장 높게 나타났고, 다음으로 보건계열(9.14), 비보건계열(9.05) 순으로 나타났다. 전공별 구강보건행태에서는 하루에 칫솔질 3회 이상하는 학생과 구강관리용품을 사용하는 학생, 최근 1년 이내 치과정기검진을 받은 학생은 치위생학과가 가장 많았고, 다음으로 보건계열, 비보건계열 순이었다. 최근 1년 이내 치석제거의 경험은 치위생학과가 가장 많았고, 다음은 비보건계열, 보건계열 순으로 나타났다. 구강보건지식이 높을수록 구강건강 관심도와 구강 건강 중요성의 인식도가 높아졌고, 구강건강에 대한 관심도가 높을수록, 구강건강이 중요하다고 인식할수록, 구강건강상태가 건강하다고 인식할수록 칫솔질 횟수가 더 많아지는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 구강보건지식이 높을수록 구강보건 인식도가 높아지고 구강건강 실천도도 높아지게 되므로 대학생들을 대상으로 한 다양한 구강보건교육의 개발이나 활용방안을 모색해 나가야 할 것으로 보인다.
