치통의 발생은 구강건강의 이상을 알리는 신호로 발생 초기에 구강의 이상 유무를 파악하게 하여 조기에 질병의 악화를 차단할 수 있게 함으로써 사전에 예방이 가능할 것으로 사료되어, 대학생 235명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문을 통하여 치통과 관련된 구강건강관리실태를 조사 분석하였다. 이를 토대로 치통 발생에 관여하는 구강건강관리습관 요인과의 관계를 규명하고자 회귀분석, CART 모델 간의 치통 발생 예측을 비교하고자 한다. 연구결과 대상자의 치통 발생 유무에 따른 현재 건강상태, 지난 1년간의 건강상태는 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 대상자의 식생활 습관에 따른 치통 발생 유무에서 규칙적인 식사 여부와 치이가 있었다(p<0.05). 대상자의 구강건강 관리습관에 따른 치통발생 유무에서는 칫솔질이나 치실 사용시 잇몸 출혈 여부에서 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 회귀분석 결과 건강샐활습관 및 구강건강관리실태에 따른 치통발생 유무와의 관계에서는 어느 요인도 유의하지 않았다. 연구 조사된 집단에서 70.0%의 샘플을 무작위 추출하여 분석용 모형을 생성하였고, 나머지 30%의 샘플로 평가용모형을 생성하였다. CART 모델 결과 식사 시간이 불규칙하면서 현재 건강상태가 나쁜 경우 치통 발생이 건강상태가 좋거나 보통인 경우보다 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과는 치통의 발생을 예측하는데 회귀분석에 비하여 CART모델이 매우 유용한 기법임을 시사하며, 향후 치통을 포함한 다른 구강 질환을 예측하는데 매우 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the interest level of mothers in oral health. The subjects in this study were 184 mothers whose children attended daycare centers in the city of K. A survey was conducted from March 15 through April 30, 2007, and SPSS WIN 11.5 program was employed to analyze their answer sheets. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. A group of mothers whose children brushed their teeth three times a day on the average made up 55.7 percent of those who were at the age of 35 and under. Among the mothers having three or more children, those mothers accounted for 59.1 percent. The daily mean toothbrushing frequency of children was higher among the better-educated mothers. 2. Concerning dietary and oral guidance, the mothers whose academic background was better curbed their children's excessive sugar intake more often, and the gap between them and the others was statistically significant(pE.05). As to the importance of oral health by the number of child and academic credential, those who had two children(36.0%) taught them the importance of oral health frequently(pE.01), and the better-educated mothers taught about it often(pE.05). The gap between the groups and the others was significant. 3. As for experience of visiting dental institutions, the working mothers visited dental institutions more often than the stay-at-home mothers, and the gap between them was statistically significant(pE.05). Regarding purpose of the visit, the largest group aimed to get treatment(64.6%), followed by having a dental checkup(14.6%) and receiving preventive treatment(13.5%). As to any inconveniences in using dental institutions, those who were working and who were in the upper income bracket found it more inconvenient to do that because of a long distance or time constraints. The gap between them and the others was significant. 4. In regard to concern for dental care, the mothers who were better educated(pE.001) and whose family income was 3 million won or more had their teeth scaled more often, and the gap between them and the others was statistically significant(pE.01). The rate of the regular visitors of dental institutions stood at 32.7 percent of the junior-college graduates, 31.0 percent of the mothers receiving college or higher education and 10.1 percent of the high-school graduates(pE.01). And those who earned larger income paid a visit to dental institutions more often and on a regular basis. The gap between them and the others was statistically significant(pE.05).

The purpose of this study was to analyze the physical development and health status of 5 year-old children for more effective health management of preschool children. This study carried out examinations of height, weight, hemoglobin, visual acuity & dental examination for 5 years-old preschool children in Kwang-ju up, Kwang-ju gun, Kyunggi-Do from January to February, 1996. For height and weight, the data were compared with the 1985's Korean standard and the hemoglobin and visual acuity data were compared with the Korean standard. The results were as follows. The average height for 5 year-old male children was 106.3${\pm}$4.7(cm) and that of 5 year-old female children was 105.3${\pm}$4.3(cm). Sixty seven point eight percent of male subjects registered below the 50th percentile for the Korean standard height and 79.5% of the female subjects registered below the 50th percentile for female. The average weight for 5 year-old children was 18.6${\pm}$2.6(kg) for females. Also, it is estimated that obese subjects totaled 2.7%. For the visual acuity, 18.0% of subjects had weak vision in the left eye and 16.9% in the right eye. As a result, it was advised that these children undergo further examination. It was remarkable that there were so many anemic children. Children with a hemoglobin content of less than 11.9(g/dl) totaled 47.8%. It is anticipated that the results of this study will contribute to the on-going evaluation and subsequent planning for the children health management program within the health promotion program of public health center in Kwang-ju gun.

본 연구에서는 치과의료 QI 활동이 활발할 가능성이 있는 21개 대표적인 의료기관을 선정하여 QI 활동의 개괄적인 현황을 조사하고, 동시에 그 기관에 근무하는 치과위생사 전체를 대상으로 치과의료 QI 활동의 시행 실태 및 QI 활동시행 후 개선효과에 대한 만족도를 조사하고 QI 활동의 활성화 요인과 저해요인 등을 알아봄으로써 치과의료 QI 활동의 현황을 파악하고 이에 따른 발전 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. QI 활동 주제별 시행률은 외부고객만족 주제가 59.9%로 가장 높았고 비용절감 59.4%, 의료의 질 향상 58.8%, 위험관리 52.8%, 업무효율성 향상 46.5%의 순으로 나타났다. 2. QI 활동 시행 후 개선 효과에 대한 만족도 점수는 비용절감 3.68점, 의료 질 향상 3.66점, 위험관리 3.65점, 외부고객만족 3.61점, 업무 효율성 향상 3.45점 등의 순으로 나타났다. 3. 의료기관 종류별 비교에서는 일반(종합)병원의 QI 활동 시행률이 유의하게 높았고 만족도 점수에서는 치과대학병원이 여러 항목에서 낮은 만족도 점수를 보였다. 4. 가장 많은 응답자가 지적한 QI 활동을 활성화 하는 요인은 병원종사자들의 적극적인 참여도, 저해하는 요인으로는 QI 활동의 인력과 예산 부족이 있다. 결론적으로 치과의료 QI 활동은 외부고객만족도 등 가시적인 효과가 용이하게 나타나는 주제에 집중되는 반면 복잡하고 가시적인 효과가 빠른 시간 내에 나타나기 어려운 주제에 대한 QI 활동은 소홀한 경향이 있으므로 균형 있는 사업 시행을 도모하고 QI 활동을 활성화하기 위해서 노력하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives: Stress is the cause of several illnesses, in older people, stress may also cause various social problems. The oral health of older adults is closely related to the quality of life, and chewing ability is particularly important for their general health. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between stress, the number of teeth remaining, and the chewing ability, which reflects the oral health status among older adults. Methods: This study evaluated the stress level and chewing ability of adults older than 65 years using the 6th (2014-2015) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination data. The total number of remaining teeth was determined based on the data of the teeth conditions. Results: There was an association between stress and chewing ability among older adults. The odds ratio of chewing function increased by 2.67 times (crude OR=2.67; 95% CI=1.88-3.79) with increased stress. After adjusting, the odds ratio increased to 2.74 times (adjusted OR=2.74; 95% CI=1.88-3.98). Conclusions: Reducing stress may facilitate effective oral health management and improve the overall quality of life in older adults.

Purpose : The college student period is pivotal for establishing oral health management behaviors and habits that persist in adulthood; it is necessary to develop the correct behaviors. Appearance management behavior not only involves the management of an individual's appearance but also ensures a healthy quality of life. Additionally, it is related to health and oral health behavior. The purpose of this study was to determine how college students' appearance management behavior affects their oral health management behavior and to provide basic data for developing policies appropriate for the lifestyle of college students. Methods : A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 450 university students in Gyeonggi, Choung-nam, Daejeon on April 27, 2022. The survey comprised 5 questions about general characteristics, 18 about appearance management behavior, and 8 about oral health behavior. The sum of the practice questions were calculated, with higher scores indicating better oral health behavior. Results : The oral health management behavior exhibited was generally high. Notably, the health-related group (61.2 %) demonstrated significantly higher levels of clothing management (60.5 %), makeup management (56.6 %), and skincare (56.6 %) behaviors, whereas body management behavior (61.2 %) was deemed 'normal' (p<.05). The results of the stepwise multiple regression analysis examining the impact of appearance management behavior on oral health management indicated that clothing management (β=0.17) and skincare behaviors (β=0.12) were influential factors. Among these, clothing management behavior was the most influential. Conclusion : To promote oral health practices among college students, this study incorporated factors related to appearance management into oral health education to increase participation and interest. We intend our findings to serve as foundational data for developing oral health education programs that integrate elements of appearance management.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between two major oral diseases and cardiovascular diseases. Methods: Data from the 6th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013-2015) were used. The study included 12,754 adults, aged ${\geq}19years$, who participated in the questionnaire survey of health related to hypertension, stroke, myocardial infarction, and angina pectoris as well as completed blood tests, anthropometry, and oral examination. Statistical analyses included complex sample frequency, complex sample general linear, complex sample cross-tabulation, and complex sample logistic regression analyses. Results: With respect to the number of Decayed-Missing-Filled-Teeth(DMFT ), patients with hypertension (DMFT 8.05), stroke (DMFT 8.66), and angina pectoris (DMFT 8.24) showed a DMFT score of >2, compared with those who did not have these diseases (p<0.05). Patients with hypertension, stroke, myocardial infarction, and angina pectoris presented an approximately 2.7, 3.5, 4, and 3 times higher incidence of periodontal diseases, respectively, than those who did not (p<0.05). Based on the analysis of the relationship between the number of DMFT and cardiovascular diseases, patients with cardiovascular diseases had a risk of 1.033 higher DMFT than those who did not (p<0.05). As per the analysis of the relationship between periodontal diseases and cardiovascular diseases, patients with cardiovascular diseases had a 2.969 higher risk of periodontaldiseasesthanthosewithout them (p<0.05). Conclusions: Two major oral diseases were found to be associated with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, to prevent these major oral diseases in patients with cardiovascular diseases, oral hygiene management must be actively performed.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the chewing ability, oral-health related quality of life and factors in periodontal disease patients. Methods : Subjects were 111 patients having peridontal disease in 10 dental clinics in Busan and Gyeongsangnamdo. Questionnaire survey was carried out from July to August 2010. Questionnaire consisted of demographic characteristics, oral health factors, chewing ability and quality of life. Data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis using SAS(Ver 9.2) set at p<0.05. Results : Chewing ability was $44.85{\pm}8.8$, and their quality of life was $41.7{\pm}8.8$. Low level of quality of life was closely related to those factors as education, missing of more than 5 posterior teeth, certain subjective periodontal symptoms including swollen gums, sore gums, drifting gums, bad breath and toothache. The effective factors to the quality of life was chewing ability, bad breath and toothache. Conclusions : Chewing ability and quality of life were closely related each other. To enhance the quality of life, chewing ability should be improved. Proper treatment and effective method of management should also be properly considered to prevent the subjective periodontal symptoms and to minimize tooth loss.
