To improve oral hygiene management, the effects of toothbrush training on general oral hygiene based on the simplified oral hygiene index(S-OHI) and degree of knowledge about toothbrushing were examined. Pre-and post-training changes in the S-OHI (lower score = better oral health status) showed a significant decrease in score in all variables (gender, age, marital status, occupation, and level of education).Pre- and post-training changes in the degree of knowledge about toothbrushing showed a significant increase. Negative correlations between the S-OHI, oral health status, and degree of knowledge about toothbrushing and the S-OHI and the Decayed, Missing, Filled (DMF) index (the better the oral cavity environment, the lower the DMF index) were observed. Positive effects of repeated toothbrush training on the maintenance of healthy oral cavity environment and continuous oral health management were observed, as reflected by the correct toothbrushing-related knowledge and skills.

본 연구는 보건계열 198명과 비보건계열 203명 대학생들을 대상으로 구강보건지식과 구강보건행태와의 관련성을 조사하였다. 일반적인 특성에 따른 구강보건행태는 학년에서 3,4학년, 학과는 보건계열, 치과정기검진과 치과교육경험은 받은 경우 높았다. 구강보건교육의 경로는 친구가 가장 높았다. 구강보건지식의 '칫솔질 시 혀를 닦는 것이 구취예방에 효과가 있다'가 94.5%로 가장 높았다. '불소는 충치 예방에 도움이 된다'에서 보건계열이 높았다. 구강보건행태의 '혀닦기를 한다'가 평균 4.20으로 가장 높았다. '자신에게 맞는 칫솔질 방법을 알고, 시행하고 있다'와 '치주병 예방을 위해 정기적인 스켈링을 한다'가 보건계열이 높았다. 일반적인 특성 및 구강보건지식, 구강보건행태의회귀분석 결과 Y(구강보건행태)=2.692+0.377(치과정기검진)+0.145(치과교육경험)+0.215(구강보건교육경로)+0.045(구강보건지식) 분석되었다. 따라서 구강건강에 대한 지식 및 정보를 쉽게 습득할 수 있는 환경을 구축하여 대학생들의 구강건강을 증진시킬 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 근로자들의 구강보건 지식, 태도, 행위와 구강 자각증상 및 구강건강관련 삶의 질(OHIP-14)을 조사하고 구강건강관련 삶의 질 향상에 영향을 미치는 요인과 영향관계를 파악함으로써, 근로자 구강건강증진사업을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 편의표본추출법을 적용하여 서울, 경기, 인천지역에서 근무하는 근로자 398명을 대상으로 2013년 3월 26일부터 4월 30일까지 자기기입식에 의한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 구강보건지식, 태도, 행위 및 구강자각증상이 구강건강관련 삶의 질의 수준에 미치는 영향력과 이들 변수의 영향관계를 분석하기 위하여 경로분석을 실시한 결과 OHIP-14에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강자각증상이었고, 구강보건행위는 간접효과가 있었다. 구강자각증상에 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강보건행위였고, 구강보건지식과 태도는 간접적인 영향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 구강보건행위에 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강보건지식 및 태도였고, 구강보건지식은 태도에 영향을 미쳤다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 근로자의 구강건강관련 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해서는 우선적으로 구강자각증상을 줄이기 위한 방안을 마련해야 하며, 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 대해 간접효과가 확인된 구강보건행위를 향상시키기 위한 노력이 필요하다. 따라서 근로자의 구강자각증상을 줄이기 위한 구강검진 및 진료사업과 구강보건행위 향상을 위한 구강보건교육사업이 포함된 근로자 구강건강증진사업을 개발하여 적용할 필요가 있다고 생각된다.

구강보건에 관한 인식도 및 관리실태와 미소평점과의 상관성을 알아보기 위하여 대구시내 남녀 고등학교 학생 150명(남자80명, 여자70명)을 대상으로 그들의 구강보건 지식의 수준과 일상 치아 관리실태에 관하여 설문지를 통해 평가한 후 아무런 부담을 주지 않은 편안한 상태에서 설문지 해당 각자의 미소 시 정면사진을 촬영하였으며, 이연구와 상관이 없고 근무지와 직책이 다른 5명의 치과의사를 무작위로 선출하여 연구 대상자의 미소를 다섯 분류의 점수로 평가한 후 각각의 자료를 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 구강보건에 관한 인식도 및 관리실태와 미소평점과는 상관성이 없는 것으로 나타났고, 구강보건 인식도조사에서는 오답이 많았지만 관리실태 조사에서는 일상 관리가 잘 이루어지고 있음을 보였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 구강보건의 인지특성이나 관리실태의 실천보다는 미소는 평상시 반복된 습관적 행태에 더 많은 관계가 있을 것으로 사료되었다.
