초록

본 연구에서는 장애인의 구강의료서비스 이용실태에 따른 삶의 질 수준을 분석하고, 삶의 질 영향요인을 분석하기 위하여 2008년 5월 1일부터 6월 1일까지 전북지역 일부 재가 장애인들을 대상으로 개별면접법을 실시하였다. 총 198부의 자료를 사용하였으며, SPSS WIN 12.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 대상자들의 68.2%가 구강진료기관을 이용경험이 있었으며, 신체적 장애, 정신적 장애, 감각장애 모두에서 80.0%이상이 지역사회 치과의원을 이용하는 것으로 조사되었다. 장애분류별 구강진료기관 방문 이유는 신체적 장애에서는 43.4%가 정기검진으로 가장 높게 조사되었고, 정신적 장애에서는 정기검진 이 37.9%, 감각장애에서는 통증 및 파절이 43.5%로 가장 높게 조사되었다. 2. 연구대상자들의 구강건강관련 삶의 질 수준은 평균 3.39점으로 조사되었으며, 일반적인 특성에서 연령, 종교, 결혼상태, 교육상태, 주관적인 건강상태 변수에서 삶의 질 수준에 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 구강진료기관 이용경험이 없는 경우가 있는 경우보다 삶의 질이 높은 것으로 조사되었으며 (p=.011), 장애관련 특성에 장애정도와 장애기간에서 삶의 질 수준에 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 3. 연구대상자의 삶의 질에 미치는 영향력을 살펴본 결과 일반적 특성 변수에서는 주관적 건강상태, 치과진료기과 이용실태와 장애관련 특성 변수에서는 치과진료기관 이용경험이 삶의 질 영향을 미치는 결정요인으로 선택되었다.

In this study, disabled people's life quality according to their use of dental healthcare services were examined, and the factors that influence their life quality were examined. The subjects in this study were 198 domestic disabled people in Jeollabuk-do, on whom a survey was conducted from May 1 to June 1, 2008. After the collected data were analyzed with SPSS WIN 12.0 program, the following findings were acquired: 1. 68.2% of the subjects had an experience of using dental service institutes. Over 80.0% of the physically disabled, the mentally handicapped, and the sensory-disturbance sufferers each used dental service institutes in their locations. Regarding the reason for visiting dental service institutes, 43.4% of the physically disabled visited for regular examination (the largest group for that reason), followed by the mentally handicapped with 37.9%. 43.5% of the sensory-disturbance sufferers visited for pain and fracture. 2. The subjects' life quality level relating to oral health was found to be an average 3.39 point score. There was a statistically significant difference in their life quality levels in terms of demographic features, such as age, religion, marriage/non-marriage, education, and subjective health status variables. Those experienced in using dental service institutes enjoyed higher levels of life quality (p=.011). And, with regard to disability characteristics, the degree of disability and the period of disability influenced the quality of life with a statistical significance. 3. Regarding variables influencing the life quality of subjects, in terms of general characteristic variables, subjective health status were influential variables, and in terms of characteristic variables relating to the use of dental clinics and disability, the experience of using dental service institutes influenced the quality of life. In conclusion, nationwide efforts to nurture separate dental personnels responsible for the disabled, to expand relevant facilities and to improve the health care insurance are required to promote the oral health of domestic disabled people's.
