Their knowledge, cognition and performances about oral healthcare collected with questionnaire survey from February to March, 2011. The rate and mean compared by chi-square test, t-test, and ANOVA. Results : Mean level of their knowledge, recognition and practice were 72.5, 80.2, and 65.6, respectively. Theses levels were higher in women (p<0.01), in the group of higher interested (p<0.001), immediately treated (p<0.001), correct tooth brushing (p<0.05), toothbrushing educated (p<0.001), take regular scaling (p<0.001), use assistant hygiene items (p<0.001), instead no differences by age and education level. And, the rate of correct toothbrushing was higher as 1.24 (1.03~1.50) times in the group with higher knowledge level, the rate of immediate treatment and regular scaling were higher as 1.35 (1.07~1.70) times, and 2.26 (1.41~3.64) times in the group with higher recognition level, respectively. Conclusions : These results demonstrate that insufficient knowledge and recognition of oral health care are related to a lack of its practice. Though their primary goal of the visits was treatment, the clients' attention needed to raise the comprehensive knowledge and recognition levels for their oral health promotion, especially reach to the performance level rather than simple knowledge acquisition. And more, to achieve the efficient oral health promotion, the importance of early treatment and strengthened efforts for prevention should be emphasized.

본 연구는 치아우식증 예방을 위한 모범 유치원 구강건강관리프로그램의 효과를 확인하고자 2012년 4월 구강보건 교육 전, 후 유아의 구강보건행태 변화에 대해 부모를 통한 설문을 진행하였으며, 유아를 대상으로는 치면세균막관리 능력을 평가하기 위해 교육 전, 교육 직후, 교육 3주 후에 PHP index를 측정하였다. 전체 156명의 유아 중 참여에 동의하지 않았거나, 해당일 결석으로 구강보건교육에 참여하지 못한 유아와 설문지 회수가 되지 않은 유아를 제외하고 총 130명을 대상으로 분석을 실시하였으며, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 구강보건교육 시행 후 자녀의 시기별 칫솔질 실천율과 칫솔질 빈도, 소요시간, 칫솔질 행동에는 변화가 없었다(p>0.05). 치아건강교육에 대한 관심은 변화 없었으나(p>0.05), 칫솔질 방법 인지와 칫솔질 권유 시 반응, 치아의 중요성 인지는 긍정적으로 변화되었다(p<0.05). 2. 유아의 구강환경관리능력(PHP index)은 교육 전 3.87, 교육 직후 2.71, 교육 3주 경과 후 3.27로, 교육 전에 비해 유의하게 개선된 것을 확인할 수 있었다(p<0.001). 3. 보호자의 자일리톨 급식 인지율은 90.0%, 충치예방효과 인지율은 75.3%, 권유의사는 50.8%였으며, 추후 구강보건교육을 실시할 경우 보호자의 76.9%는 참여한다고 응답하였다. 부모의 관찰 결과 유아의 33.1%는 자일리톨 급식후, 60.7%는 구강보건교육 후 충치예방에 대한 관심이 생겼다고 하였다. 결과적으로 충치예방 모범 유치원 구강건강관리프로그램의 효과를 확인하였으므로 프로그램의 활성화를 위한 노력이 필요하며, 교사와 부모, 유아를 대상으로 계속구강건강관리프로그램을 운영함으로써 유아의 구강건강행동이 습관화되고 칫솔질 능력이 완성될 수 있도록 지속적인 관리와 재교육이 이루어져야 할 것이다.
