본 연구는 서울, 경기에 거주하고 있는 치면열구전색을 자녀에게 해 준 경험이 있는 초등학생 학부모들의 치면열구전색에 관한 만족도를 알아보기 위해 일부지역 초등학생 학부모 231명을 대상으로 2008년 10월부터 11월까지 설문조사를 한 후 그 결과를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 치면열구전색을 시술받은 곳은 치과의원 48.1%, 치과병원 38.1%로 나타났으며, 치과의사에게 시술받았다는 대상자는 76.6%, 치과의생사에게 시술받았다는 대상자는 11.3%로 나타났다. 2. 치면열구전색사업에 대한 찬성 여부를 살펴본 결과 과반수인 61.9%는 찬성, 38.1%는 반대라고 응답했으며, 만족도 중 예방효과에 대한 만족도가 $3.92{\pm}.85$로 가장 높게, 비용 만족도는 $1.91{\pm}.86$으로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 3. 일반적 특성에 따른 만족도는 경기지역에 사는 학부모들이 서울에 사는 학부모들에 비해 비용적인 면에 만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 자녀수가 적을수록 비용에 대해서도 만족하는 것으로 나타났다(p<.001). 즉, 비용 만족도는 거주지와 자녀수에 따라, 예방효과 만족도는 나이에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 4. 사후관리 기간에 따른 치면열구전색 찬성 여부 중 찬성과 반대 그룹에서 사후관리 약속이 없었다고 응답한 대상자는 각각 31.5%, 36.4%로 조사되었으며, 두 그룹 중 기간 제한 없이 사후관리를 해준다고 응답한 대상자는 찬성 8.4%, 반대 0%로 조사돼 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05).
The purpose of this study was to examine the satisfaction level of parents with elementary school students in some metropolitan areas with the pit and fissure sealing program in a bid to raise awareness of the importance of the preventive treatment and accelerate the spread of it. The subjects in this study were 231 parents who had school children and resided in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. After a self-administered survey was conducted in October and November 2008, the collected data were analyzed. The findings of the study were as follows; 1. As to places for receiving the preventive treatment, 111 respondents (48.1%) experienced pit and fissure sealing in dental clinics, and 88 respondents(38.1%) did that in dental hospitals. 177 people(76.6%) received that treatment from dentists, and 16 respondents(11.3%) did that from dental hygienists. 2. Concerning whether to be for or against the pit and fissure sealing program, more than half that numbered 143(61.9%) supported that program, and 88 respondents(38.1%) didn't. As for satisfaction level, they expressed the biggest satisfaction with the preventive effect of that treatment($3.92{\pm}.85$), and were least satisfied with the cost($1.91{\pm}.86$). 3. Regarding links between general characteristics and satisfaction level, they were statistically significantly different in satisfaction level with the cost according to residential area and the number of child, and age made a statistically significant difference to their satisfaction level with the preventive effect of it. 4. As for relationship between warranty term and whether to be for the pit and fissure sealing program or not, 45(31.5%) out of those who supported the program were provided with no warranty, and 32(36.4%) out of those who took a stand against it were provided with no warranty, either. Warranty was provided to 12(8.4%) respondents of the former group without a fixed term, but that's not the case for any of the latter. The warranty term made statistically significant differences to their agreement or disagreement to the program(p<0.05).
