본 연구에서는 A치과에 내원하는 환자 중 20-60세에 해당하는 환자 110명을 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 전신질환과 구강건강 간 연관성에 관한 인식 수준과 교육 현황을 파악하였고, 최종 분석에는 92명의 응답을 포함하였다. 연구대상자 중 두 건강상태의 연관성을 인식하고 있는 비율은 48.9%로 나타났다. 또한 연구대상자 중 39.1%는 전신질환과 구강건강의 연관성에 대한 교육을 받은 경험이 있는 것으로 나타났고, 68.5%는 교육이 필요한 것으로 인식하였다. 전신질환과 구강건강의 연관성과 교육 필요성 인식 수준과 관련된 요인을 확인하기 위하여, 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시한 결과 정기적으로 치과를 내원하는 경우 두 질환의 연관성을 인식할 가능성이 3.94배 높았고, 주관적 구강건강수준이 나쁜 경우 교육의 필요성을 인지할 가능성이 5.20배 높았으며, 과거 교육경험 여부는 두 질환의 연관성 인식 및 교육 필요성 인식 수준에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 치과에 내원하는 환자들을 대상으로 치과의료전문가는 교육주체자로서 보다 체계적인 교육방식을 통하여 전신질환과 구강건강 간 연관성에 관한 교육을 필수적으로 수행해야 할 것이다. 이를 위해 치과의료전문가는 진료실 구강보건교육 매뉴얼 및 다양한 매체를 개발해야 하고, 효과적인 교육방법을 모색해야 한다.

Purpose : As the number of patients with systemic diseases is increasing in the old, the relevance of oral health is gaining particular research interest. To provide fundamental resources for dental services, this study examined the relationship between doctors' diagnoses of circulatory diseases and patients' awareness of oral health and oral care behaviors. Methods : SPSS 26.0 was used to assess various variables, including doctor's diagnosis of circulatory diseases, gender, age, household income quintile, participation in economic activity, marital status, subjective level of oral health awareness, mastication discomfort, speaking and chewing discomfort, dental inspection, use of oral care goods, teeth brushing during the previous day, and untreated oral conditions. Results : The circulatory diseases suffered by the subjects were as follows: 56 % high blood pressure, 36 % dyslipidemia, 6 % stroke, and 8 % myocardial infarction or angina. A higher age meant a higher diagnosis rate of high blood pressure (p<.001) and stroke (p<.001). Those with dyslipidemia showed a higher rate of receiving oral inspection (p=.040), and an untreated oral condition was more frequently observed among those not diagnosed with the disease (p=.035). The subjects who were not diagnosed with stroke showed a higher rate of oral inspection (p<.001), while those who had a prior experience of stroke suffered a higher rate of mastication discomfort (p=.020). People who had high blood pressure showed a lower rate of using oral care goods (p<.001), and those diagnosed with stroke showed a lower rate of brushing teeth the previous day. Conclusion : This study found a correlation between the diagnosis of circulatory diseases and the awareness of oral health and oral care behavior. Consequently, oral health education should be included in mental health-related education, and customized training to teach teeth brushing and the use of oral care goods should be provided to patients with circulatory diseases during dentist visits.
