구강건강 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 구강건강관리행태를 파악하여 중국인 유학생의 구강건강 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위한 방안을 마련하고자 전북 소재 대학교 중국인 유학생 236명을 대상으로 2013년 4월 2일부터 5월 9일 동안 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시한 결과 65.3%가 1년 이내 치과내원 경험이 없었으며, 82.6%가 1년 이내 치석제거를 받지 않았고, 68.2%가 구강보건교육을 받은 적이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 일반적 특성에 따른 OHIP-14는 학년, 건강보험 가입여부, 유학생활 만족도에서 유의한 차이가 있었고(p<0.05), 구강건강관리행태에 따른 OHIP-14는 주관적인 구강건강상태, 1년 이내 치과내원 경험과 치석제거 경험에서 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 구강건강 삶의 질에 영향을 주는 요인으로는 주관적인 구강건강 상태와 1년 이내 치석제거 경험으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 중국인 유학생들의 구강건강 문제 발생 시 의료기관의 편리한 이용을 위해 자국어 번역 안내서 및 의료 전문 통역자의 배치와 대학 차원에서 학교구강보건실의 운영 및 구강건강증진을 위해 실질적으로 도움이 되는 구강보건교육이 요구된다.

본 연구는 노인의 주관적 치아건강수준(20개 이상 현존자연치의 보유)에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보고자 2013년 5월 27일부터 6월 5일까지 제주도 서귀포시 보건소(지소)를 방문하는 60세 이상 노인 중 연구의 취지를 설명하고 동의한 396명에게 설문조사를 시행하여 분석한 결과 현존자연치아가 20개 이상인 대상자에서 주관적 치아건강 수준이 '보통'이다 73.3%가장 높았고 19개 이하인 대상자에서는 '나쁨'이 41.1%로 높아 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 주관적 치아건강에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 성별에서 여자가 남자보다 4.3배 더 높게 나타났고, 학력에서는 '고졸이상' 학력이 높을수록, 월평균 가구소득은 '200만 원 이상' 높을수록 주관적 치아건강수준이 높았다(p<0.01). 따라서 노인기까지 20개 이상의 자연치아를 보존함으로써 구강건강은 물론 전신건강을 유지, 증진하여 노년기 삶의 질을 높이는 것이 무엇보다 중요하며 국가 차원의 무료 구강검진 및 구강보건교육이 체계적이고 지속적으로 시행될 수 있는 구강보건사업이나 구강보건프로그램을 계획해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 청소년의 건강행태와 증상의 관련성을 파악하여 청소년기의 구강건강을 유지하기 위한 교육 프로그램 개발에 관한 자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 제15차(2019년) 청소년건강행태온라인 조사자료를 이용하여 고등학생 27,919명을 대상으로 하였다. 구강 증상에 미치는 영향요인을 로지스틱 회귀분석한 결과 잇몸 통증 증상을 낮게 인지한 경우는 남자, 저학년, 소득수준이 높은 경우, 주관적 구강건강 인지가 매우 좋은 경우 유의하게 낮았다. 스트레스가 높은 경우는 통증 인지가 높아 통계적으로 유의했다. 구취 증상을 높게 인지한 경우로는 남자, 스트레스가 높은 경우, 1일 잇솔질 실천 횟수가 적은 경우 유의하게 높았다. 소득이 높은 경우, 주관적 구강건강 인지가 매우 좋은 경우에는 구취 인지가 낮아 통계적으로 유의했다. 본 연구는 청소년의 건강행태가 구강 증상에 영향 미치는 것을 알 수 있었고, 이러한 구강 증상을 예방할 수 있는 교육 프로그램 개발에 도움을 주고자 한다.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the relationship between dental care needs and dental service use in Korean elderly. Methods: Using the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, from 22,948 individuals, 1,572 (male 701, female 871) elderly individuals aged above 65 years were included in the study. All analyses were stratified by sex. Results: In males, the group with subjective needs was 3.74 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.58-5.41) times more likely to use dental services than the group without subjective needs. For females, the group with subjective needs was 2.17 (95% CI: 1.57-2.98 ) times more likely to use dental services than the group without subjective needs. Conclusions: To conclude, the elderly with symptoms, used the dental services for pain relief and functional recovery. Fundamental efforts to improve oral health are needed, such as providing treatment, prevention and educational services, besides efforts to provide treatment-oriented dental services. Further research is needed for the middle and elderly individuals who are in the blind spot of the existing policy.

Objectives : This study has attempted to investigate subjective oral health awareness, oral health behavior and analyze how the results are correlated with oral health-related quality of life against middle school students. Methods : A self-administered questionnaire survey was performed against 552 students from three middle schools in Changwon. A frequent analysis was conducted on research subjects' general characteristics, oral health awareness, oral health behavior. In addition, t-test and ANOVA were carried out to analyze oral health-related quality of life by the general characteristics, oral health awareness and oral health behavior. Results : In terms of oral health-related quality of life by general characteristics, the quality of life on oral symptoms was higher at lower school grades (p<0.05). In terms of social welfare, oral health-related quality of life was higher as parents' monthly income increased (p<0.05). Oral health-related quality of life was high in oral symptoms when there was no interest in oral health, in functional limitation, emotional welfare and social welfare when there is some oral health-related knowledge (p<0.05) and in all sub categories when oral conditions are healthy (p<0.05). Conclusions : The results of this study has come up with important information for improvement of oral health-related quality of life in middle school students by investigating the correlations between oral health awareness and oral health-related quality of life.

Objectives : The growing elderly population and social changes have fueled a rapid increase in demand for elderly care facilities, but health care services for the elderly, especially oral health services, have long been overlooked. The purpose of this study was to examine the oral health care of elderly residents in elderly care facilities in an effort to provide some information on the elderly's oral health care and the development of dental care programs geared toward institutionalized elderly people. Methods : The subjects in this study were 230 elderly people who were in elderly care facilities in Jeolla Province. An individual interview was held, and they got a dental checkup. As for data analysis, t-test and ANOVA were utilized, and Scheffe post-hoc test was employed. Results : 1. In relation to the subfactors of the quality of life related to oral health, the elderly people investigated got a mean of 4.58, 4.47, 4.38, 4.09, 3.94, 3.91 and 3.76 respectively in activity disorder, mental disorder, social disorder, mental inconvenience, functional disorder, physical pain and physical disorder. 2. Concerning the overall quality of life related to oral health, there were statistically significant gaps in this aspect according to gender, age, presence or absence of systemic disorder, presence or absence of eating difficulties, subjective health status, subjective oral health state and oral health concern. 3. The presence or absence of root caries had a significant relationship to physical pain and social disorder among the subfactors of the OHIP-14, but that had nothing to do with functional disorder, mental inconvenience, physical disorder, mental disorder and activity disorder. Conclusions : The oral health indexes of the institutionalized elderly people in Jeolla Province were measured, and what factors affected the subfactors of oral health was checked. As a result, there appeared a close relation ship between oral health and the quality of life. Therefore effective oral health plans that cater to the elderly should be carried out to improve elderly people's quality of life related to oral health who stay in long-term elderly care facilities. In the future, prolonged research should be implemented from diverse angles for the sake of institutionalized elderly people.

Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 500 university students in Jeonbuk from June 2 to 15, 2014. Except ten incomplete answers, 490 data were analyzed. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects, subjective oral health status (8 items), oral health knowledge (18 items), and oral health practice (22 items) by Likert 5 point scale. Results: Oral health behavior had a significant effect on smoking status (${\beta}=-0.200$, p<0.001), oral health knowledge (${\beta}=-0.235$, p<0.001), dietary control practice (${\beta}=-0.123$, p<0.05), and daily toothbrushing frequency (${\beta}=-0.240$, p<0.001). With respect to factors influencing oral health knowledge, significant effect was found in oral health behavior (${\beta}=0.258$, p<0.001), dietary control awareness (${\beta}=0.208$, p<0.001), and dietary control practice (${\beta}=-0.136$, p<0.05). Conclusions: Oral health knowledge of university students is an important factor to cause a change in the behavior of oral health practice. Consequently, oral health education is essential to university students. In order to help improve the oral health, more customized and organized oral health programs will be necessary and it will encourage changes in university students oral health practices.
