Objectives: This study aimed to examine the opinions of registered dental hygienists (RDH) and dental hygiene students (DHS), professionals who can practice visiting oral health care (VOHC), and the demand for specialized training courses of RDH for VOHC. Methods: Using a Google online survey, 125 RDH and 106 DHS personnel were surveyed on their perception of VOHC and the operation of special training courses. Results: RDH (97.6%) and DHS (96.1%) agreed that they needed VOHC for older people. Moreover, the qualification course for specialized training for VOHC was considered necessary. Regarding the appropriate curriculum, RDH preferred training programs comprising 2-hours classes over 6 months and 15 weeks and so on, and DHS preferred 3 hours classes over 6 months and 15 weeks and so on. Regarding the desired working type, the RDH preferred the half-day system, whereas the DHS preferred the alternate-day system. The Korean Dental Hygienists Association was intended for human resource development. They agreed that continuing education was necessary when working as a visiting RDH, and many responded that they would participate if a specialized training course was opened. Conclusions: RDH and DHS have a high level of awareness of the importance and necessity of VOHC, and consider a specialized training qualification course necessary for efficient VOHC.

Background: Legal regulations and fees have been established in Korea to provide visiting oral health care services to individuals with long-term care insurance (LTCI). However, beneficiaries of this service are very limited. Therefore, to improve the Korean system we propose a comparative analysis with the Japanese system. Methods: This study is a descriptive analysis based on secondary data, such as statistics, laws, and service record forms from Korea and Japan. The most recent institutional documents were obtained through a Google search. The variables investigated were financial resources of LTCI, co-payment structure, monthly limit of LTCI benefits, care levels of LTCI, service providers, service costs, contents of service, and the number of cases of service. Results: In both Korea and Japan, LTCI is financed through a combination of taxes and insurance premiums. However, the monthly limit for receiving LTCI services in Japan is about 2.4 times higher than in Korea. Visiting medical and dental treatment is also possible in Japan. Furthermore, nursing staff can provide daily oral health care services according to dental hygienists' instruction unlike Korea. Oral health care services in Korea are focused on oral hygiene and prevention of oral diseases, while Japan additionally provides oral function screening, patient education for oral health management, and training for nursing staff to enhance oral function, eating, and swallowing of the patients. Conclusion: We concluded that the possibility of visiting dental treatment, differences in monthly limit of LTCI benefits, oral function assessment and guidance, as well as collaboration with other healthcare professionals contributed to the difference in the frequency of utilization of visiting oral health care services between Korea and Japan.

본 연구는 경상북도 예천군에 소재하는 100인 이하의 어린이급식소 32개소를 대상으로 급식 위생·안전 순회지도 및 위생교육 지원에 따른 교육효과를 조사·분석함으로써 어린이급식소의 문제점을 파악하고, 올바른 개선방안을 제시하고자 하였으며, 위생·안전 체크리스트 분석 결과와 ATP 측정 결과의 상관관계를 비교·분석함으로써 위생교육의 효과를 평가하기 위한 ATP bioluminescence assay의 적용성을 검토하였다. 조사결과 설립 유형은 법인 9.4%, 국공립 18.7%, 기타 18.7%, 가정 21.9%, 민간 31.3% 순으로 확인되었고, 규모별로 집단급식소 25.0%, 소규모 급식소 34.4%, 비집단급식소 40.6% 순으로 조사되었다. 위생순회지도의 결과들은 '조리실, 식품 등의 원료·제품 보관실 등을 정기적으로 소독하는지 여부' 항목을 제외한 모든 항목에서 유의적인 개선을 보였으며, 위생순회지원에 따른 교육효과의 평가를 위해 칼, 도마, 고무장갑, 냉장고 손잡이, 정수기 꼭지 등 5가지 항목에 대한 ATP bioluminescence analysis가 수행되었다. 칼과 도마의 경우 전 개소 모두 순회 지원 후 20 RLU/cm² 이하의 수치를 보였으며, 특히 국공립시설, 법인시설, 민간시설에서 칼과 도마 모두 10 RLU/cm² 이하의 수치를 보였다. 조리기구 중 식품위생의 주요 기준이 되고 있는 칼과 도마를 중심으로 이와 관련된 항목인 '자외선 또는 전기 살균 소독기 설치 여부', '주방용구의 살균·소독제 또는 열탕의 방법으로 소독한 것을 사용하는지 여부', '어류·육류·채소류를 취급하는 칼·도마 구분 사용 여부' 항목들이 상관관계 분석을 통해 검증되었으며, 칼과 도마 모두에서 음(-)의 상관관계를 가지며 높은 상관성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 위생교육의 효과에 대한 간편하면서도 객관적인 평가수단으로서 ATP bioluminescence assay의 가능성을 제시하는 것으로 사료된다. 전반적으로 제한적인 점검횟수로 인해 전 항목 모두 뚜렷한 개선을 확인할 수는 없었으나, 지속적인 교육지원을 통한 개선의 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 오마하체계를 이용하여 보건소 방문간호사의 간호업무 수행도와 필요도를 조사한 서술적 조사연구이다. 방문간호사의 간호업무는 '개인위생', '통증', '약물요법', '영양', '신체활동', '위생', '수면과 휴식양상', '구강건강', '정신건강', '인지'순으로 수행도가 높았다. '성생활', '산후', '수입', '가족계획', '임신', '영성', '학대', '생식기능', '방임', '말과 언어' 순으로 간호업무 수행도가 낮았다. '성생활', '학대' '방임', '생식기능' 문제는 문제의 사정 및 적극적 개입을 위한 교육적 지원이 필요하다. '산후', '임신', '가족계획' 등의 문제는 출산지원을 위한 지역의 정책방향에 따라 방문간호사의 역량 강화가 필요하다. '수입', '주거', '지역사회자원과의 의사소통'은 보건복지 연계 및 정부와 지방자치단체의 정책적 지원이 필요하겠다. 본 연구결과는 방문간호사의 역할규명 및 역할확대를 위한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 본다.

Objectives: This study is based on a visiting oral health care intervention program in the community care. This qualitative study was conducted through in-depth interviews to identify awareness and attitudes regarding intervention program among older adults. Methods: The research team visited the homes of the target older adults and conducted in-depth interviews for approximately an hour using a semi-structured questionnaire. The collected voice recordings were transcribed using Clova Note, and AI program by Naver. Using the 'Word Cloud Generator 3.7' program, words of high importance and interest from interview answers were extracted, visualized, and analyzed. Results: Participating older adults acknowledged that their quality of life related to oral health could be improved by increasing the level of oral health awareness and oral health knowledge through the intervention program. In addition, the older adults indicated that their oral hygiene management ability improved compared to before the intervention through expert oral hygiene management and oral health education. Further, as the level of oral health knowledge increased, so too did satisfaction with the intervention program increase. Conclusions: The intervention program for visiting oral health care showed a positive effect on the awareness and attitude of older adults. Thus, it is suggested that education for continuous competency enhancement of dental hygienists and multidisciplinary education for the improvement of general health and quality of life of older adults should be promoted.

Objectives: The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the students majoring in dental hygiene on their oral health beliefs and oral health behavior. Methods: The survey was conducted using selfadministered questionnaires targeting 619 female students majoring in dental hygiene at three Universities in k and J province. The stronger health oral belief means higher score in susceptibility, severity, benefit and salience, but the higher score in barrier means stronger recognition in obstacle. Results: There was significant correlation between susceptibility and experience of not-treated oral disease (OR [odds ratio] 2.40; 95% CI [confidence interval] 1.73-3.34)' and 'dental caries (OR 2.36; 95% CI 1.25-4.45)'. Benefit had significant correlation with 'visiting dental clinic (OR 1.58; 95% CI 1.14-2.19)'. Salience had significant correlation with 'experience of not-treated oral disease (OR 0.70; 95% CI 0.52-0.94)'. Barrier had significant correlation with 'visiting dental clinic (OR 0.73; 95% CI 0.56-0.95)' and 'removing oral plaque (OR 0.71; 95% CI 0.52-0.95)'. There was no significant correlation between oral health belief and 'using of oral hygiene device' or 'regular tooth brushing'. Conclusions: Diverse oral health behaviors were affected by susceptibility, benefit, salience and barrier in oral health belief. The programs for oral health education and preventing oral disease should be prepared to change oral health belief to promote the oral health systematically based on the results of this study.
