이 연구는 대구광역시와 경상북도에 소재하는 각각 3곳의 노인복지관 및 노인대학의 65세 이상 노인 501명을 대상으로 구강보건진료 관리 항목이 자가인식구강상태에 미치는 영향력을 조사함으로써 효과적인 구강보건관리 방안을 모색하기 위해 연구를 실시하였다. 연령에 따른 구강보건진료 관리 항목의 선호도를 조사한 결과, 65~69세는 불소도포, 65~74세는 치석제거, 칫솔질 교습, 70~74세는 틀니 세정 및 관리, 75세 이상은 틀니 제작을 선호하였다. 구강보건진료 관리 항목이 노인의 자가인식구강상태에 미치는 영향력은 현 구강상태가 좋지 않고, 저작지장이 많으며, 구강건조가 있을수록 틀니 제작을 가장 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 치아수가 적고, 틀니를 가지고 있을수록 틀니 세정 및 관리를 가장 선호하였으며, 흔들리는 치아가 있고, 치통이 자주 있을수록 발치를 가장 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 연령과 구강상태에 따라 구강보건진료 관리 항목의 선호도에 차이가 있으므로 각 개인에게 맞는 구강보건관리를 적용해야 할 것이다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between perceived oral health, medical service satisfaction, and oral health impact profile (OHIP-14) and the factors affecting OHIP for orthodontic patients, and to provide basic data to improve the quality of life of orthodontic patients in accordance with oral health. Methods: The study explained the purpose and purport of this study to orthodontic patients who visit dental clinics located in Daejeon and Chungcheong province for about two months from July 01, 2019, and conducted a self‐reported questionnaire survey for 220 participants who agreed to participate in this study. of the collected questionnaires, data of 197 subjects were used for the final analysis except 23 that were inadequate. Results: As for orthodontic treatment satisfaction according to perceived oral health and OHIP, there was statistically significant difference between respondents who were 'very healthy' and 'not healthy' (p<0.05). The higher the supplementary service satisfaction, the higher the orthodontic treatment satisfaction, and the higher the perceived oral health, the OHIP was found to be the higher. The factors affecting OHIP were found to be significantly associated with orthodontic treatment satisfaction and perceived oral health. The explanatory power was 15.6%. Conclusions: Active and ongoing oral health education should be provided to dental hygienists to ensure that the patient's oral cavity is healthy, and although additional services need to be improved, it is more important to have management strategies for patients to improve orthodontic treatment satisfaction.

주관적 구강건강인식은 본인의 구강건강상태를 스스로 대답하도록 하는 방법으로 구강병의 질병부담에 대한 역학적 지표로서 혹은 치료필요나 치료결과의 지표로서 사용될 수 있다하겠다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 청소년을 편의추출하여 주관적 구강건강인식과 구강건강행동을 구성하는 요인을 찾아 연관성을 분석함으로 적절한 구강건강행동을 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 우리나라 청소년의 주관적 구강건강인식은 33.1%가 좋거나 매우 좋다고 응답한 반면 67.8%는 보통 또는 그 이하라고 응답하였고, 아침에 칫솔질을 실천 하는 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 2.6배 주관적 구강건강인식이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전체적으로 칫솔질 실천을 할 때가 실천하지 않았을 때보다 통계적으로 유의하게 주관적 구강건강인식이 좋았다(<0.001). 이는 구강보건 교육을 통해 자신의 구강건강 상태를 올바로 인지하고, 올바른 건강행동으로 실천하는 것이야 말로 예방적 교육의 목표라 할 수 있겠다. 따라서 적절한 학교 구강보건교육의 프로그램과 그 기회를 증가시킬 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of general and oral health on quality of life in the elderly living alone and with family. Methods: We analyzed data from the $6^{th}$ Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Distribution of the elderly living alone and with family based on the general characteristics and general and oral health was analyzed using complex-sample chi-square tests. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting quality of life by calculating the 95% confidence intervals. Results: In the elderly living alone, the quality of life significantly correlated with restriction of activity, perceived general and oral health status, perceived stress, and speech difficulties. Further, in the elderly living with family, lower quality of life significantly correlated with restriction of activity, perceived health status, walking days per week, life time smoking history, Community Periodontal Index, and chewing and speech difficulties. Conclusions: The elderly are concerned with self-maintenance of general and oral health. Therefore, systematic policies related to health services need to be developed and operated at the national level. It is especially necessary to take social interest in the elderly living alone and a more continuous and professional approach in their health care.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine socioeconomic inequalities in oral health and to investigate the extent to which socioeconomic disparities in oral health are attenuated by oral health related consciousness and behaviors. Methods: We used data from the third 2006 Korea National Oral Health Survey(KNOHS) and a total of 3,457 subjects aged over 18 years were analyzed. The dependent variable was periodontal conditions which is devided into dichotomy, that is, health and ill-health, using the Community Periodontal Index(CPI) in KNOHS. Socioeconomic status(SES) were measured by educational attainment, income and residential area. Age, gender, oral health consciousness(self-assessed oral health status, concern about oral health and self-perceived dental treatment needs and behaviors(brushing, use of dental floss and dental visits) were adjusted in binary logistic regression analysis. Results and Conclusion: The results show that oral health consciousness and behaviors do not mediate the relationship between SES and periodontal health and there might be limitations to attenuate socioeconomic disparities in oral health only by changing of either oral health consciousness or(and) behaviors. Our findings suggest that more definite oral health policies and dental health education among adults with lower education will need in order to improve oral health.
