Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the satisfaction level of patients with oral health care provided by a dental hospital, especially scaling, and their oral health behavior. The subjects in this study were 263 college students who were in their 20s and selected from among patients who visited D university dental hospital in Gangwon Province during the oral prophylaxis practice of dental hygiene sophomores and juniors. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. Whether the selected students had ever had their teeth scaled was checked, and those who had outnumbered the others who hadn't. The rates of the former and latter respectively stood at 61.2 percent and 38.8 percent. Regarding places where they got their teeth scaled, the majority of the students that represented 75.2 percent did that at dental clinics. By gender, 34.4 percent of the male students did that at schools, which were larger than 11.8 percent of the female students who did. 88.2 percent of the female students did that at dental clinics, which were larger than 65.5 percent of the male students who did. Gender made significant differences to that(x2=10.79, p<.01). 2. As for satisfaction level with scaling by gender, the male students (38.7%) who had no specific idea outnumbered the female students (26.5%) who did. The female students(57.4%) who felt no pain during scaling outnumbered the male students(55.9%) who did. Gender made a significant difference to their responses. (x2=6.38, p<.05). 3. Concerning the use of oral hygiene supplies, most of the students who represented 72.2 percent had never flossed their teeth, and as many as 86.3 percent had never used a tongue cleaner. But the gaps between them and the others were not statistically significant.
강원지역 D 대학 치위생과 2, 3학년 학생들의 치면세마 실습시간에 내원한 환자중 20대 대학생 263명을 대상으로 구강건강 관련 스켈링 만족도 및 구강위생용품 사용 실태 조사 결과는 아래와 같다. 1. 학생들이 스켈링을 받은 경험이 있는지 살펴본 결과 스켈링을 받은 경험이 있는 학생이 61.2%로 그렇지 않은 학생 38.8%보다 많은 것으로 나타났다. 학생들이 스켈링을 받은 장소에 대해 살펴본 결과는 스켈링을 치과에서 받은 학생이 75.2%로 대부분을 차지하였으며 성별로는 남학생이 34.4%로 여학생 11.8%보다 스켈링을 학교에서 많이 받았고 여학생은 88.2%로 남학생 65.6%보다 치과에서 많이 받았으며, 성별에 따라 유의미한 차이를 보였다($\chi^2$=10.79, p<.01). 2. 스켈링에 대한 만족도에 대해 성별로 살펴본 결과 성별로는 남학생이 38.7%로 여학생 26.5%보다 "잘 모르겠다"에 높은 분포를 보였고, 여학생은 57.4%로 남학생 55.9%보다 스켈링을 받을 당시 아프지 않았다고 인식하였으며, 성별에 따라 유의미한 차이를 보였다($\chi^2$=6.38 p<.05). 3. 구강위생용품 사용 실태에 대하여 조사한 결과, 학생들이 치실을 사용한 경험이 없는 학생이 72.2%로 혀 세척기를 사용한 경험이 없는 학생이 86.3%로 대부분을 차지하였으며, 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 없었다.
