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.

Purpose. This study was to correlations between oral health education experience and subjective oral health level of elderly in Yeongnam region. Methods. The data were collected from 254 elderly in Yeongnam region. Data analysis was performed using cross Analysis, t-test(One-way ANOVA), logistic regression by SPSS WIN 17.0 program. Results. According to the general characteristics of the study subjects, 42.8% of those under 75 years and 57.2% of those over 75 years of age had never been educated, 50.7% of living expenses less than 1 million won and 37.3% of those below 2 million won had never received oral health education (p<.05). The differences in subjective oral health levels with or without oral health education experience showed higher limitations of function and impairment of social psychic function in the elderly with no experience than those with oral health education experience(p<.05). Correlation between oral health education experience and subjective health level of the elderly showed a positive relationship with each factor, meaning that the subjective oral health level was higher with oral health education(p<.05). Subjective oral health levels for functional limitations or social and psychological disorders were high in the elderly without oral health education(p<.05). Conclusion. Considering the impact of oral health education experience on the subjective oral health level of the elderly as above, we should develop various continuous and systematic programs that can increase prevention and post-education practices for the increase of education beneficiaries through diverse approaches to enhance their usability.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between oral health professionals' knowledge, attitude, and practice with regard to infectious waste management and to identify related factors influencing it. Methods: The study comprised of 219 oral health professionals from select dental clinics and public health centers recruited between August 25, 2016 and September 5, 2016, who agreed to participate in the study with full understanding of the study objectives. A self-reported questionnaire was administered, which consisted of 22 items on knowledge of infectious waste management, 9 items on attitude, and 16 items on practice. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression analyses. Results: The age, knowledge, and clinical attitude of oral health professionals significantly correlated with waste management practice. Specifically, infectious waste management practice improved with increasing age, a greater level of knowledge, and a more positive clinical attitude. Additionally, the standardized regression coefficient demonstrated that, of these three factors, clinical attitude more strongly correlated with effective waste management practice, followed by age and level of knowledge. Conclusions: These results indicated that oral health professionals had a low level of knowledge regarding infectious waste management, and a more positive clinical attitude resulted in better practices. Therefore, the development of detailed and active education guidelines and strategies are needed to enhance the attitude, knowledge, and practice of oral health professionals with regard to infectious waste management.

본 연구는 대학생들의 비만과 건강실천행위 및 구강건강행위와의 관련성을 규명하고 비만에 미치는 영향력을 파악해 전국대학건강조사 및 대학생 건강증진 서비스 개발구축에 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 2009년 12월 1일부터 31일 동안 서울 및 경기도에 소재하는 대학에 재학 중인 177명의 자료를 조사하였고, 조사결과는 아래와 같다. 1. 조사대상자 전체의 비만 유병률은 27.7%이었고, 일반적 특성에 따른 비만의 차이는 여학생에 비해 남학생이, 24세 미만군에 비해 24세 이상군의 비만율이 높게 나타났다. 2. 건강실천행위 및 구강건강행위에 따른 비만의 차이는 식사 시 짠맛을 선호하는 경우와 하루 평균 수면시간이 7시간 미만인 경우, 주관적 건강상태가 나쁘다고 인지하는 경우 그리고 최근 1년간 치과 방문을 했던 경우에 비해 치과방문을 하지 않는 경우가 비만율이 높았다. 3. 성별과 연령의 영향력을 통제하였을 때 대학생들의 비만에 유의한 영향을 미치는 변수는 짜게 먹는 경우, 하루 평균 수면시간이 7시간 미만인 경우 그리고 최근 1년간 치과방문이 없는 경우이었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 대학생들의 비만은 식사 시 선호맛, 하루 평균수면시간 및 치과방문에 유의한 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 대학생 눈높이에 맞추는 정규적인 보건교육실시 뿐만 아니라 비만을 예방하고 관리시킬 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하는 경우에 식생활 습관과 정신건강 및 구강건강습관을 향상시킬 수 있는 적절한 프로그램을 함께 운영하면 그 효과를 상승시킬 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 연극제를 이용하여 유치원 아동들의 구강건강에 대한 교육적 효과를 파악하고자 하였으며, 화성시에 소재한 유치원 아동을 대상으로 교육전, 교육후 총 762부의 설문지를 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 구강건강실천에 관항 사항에서 교육전과 교육후를 비교해 본 결과 모든 변수에서 교육후의 실천도가 높게 나타났으며, 이는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 특히 6개월마다 정기검진 여부에 가장 큰 차이를 보이고 있었다. 2. 구강건강관심에 관한 사항에 있어서도 교육전과 교육후를 비교해 본 결과 모든 변수에 있어서 교육후에 관심도가 높아짐을 알 수 있었으며 통계적으로 유의했다. 3. 연극을 이용한 구강보건교육의 만족도를 살펴본 결과 95% 이상이 긍정적인 답변을 함으로써 만족하고 있었으며, 구강보건교육 연극에 재관람하고 싶다는 정도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 4. 유아 아동들에 있어 공부하는데 가장 흥미를 주는 구강보건교육 매체가 인형 등의 도구를 통한 연극이라고 50%이상이 답하였으며, 가장 기억에 남는 매체에 있어서도 연극이라고 답하였다. 특히 연극이 가장 오랫동안 기억에 남는다는 결과에서는 교육전보다 교육후가 약 40%에서 약 50%로 증가하였다. 구강질환을 예방하기 위해서는 구강보건교육이 필수 요건이며, 구강보건교육을 통해 건강습관을 유지시키는 것이 중요하다고 하겠다. 또한 교육방법에 있어서도 피교육자가 흥미있어하고 관심을 가질 수 있도록 매체를 선정하는 것도 중요하며, 이를 위해 연극을 이용한 구강보건교육이 활발히 전개되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
