Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of oral health education for occupational health nurses. The subjects were 300 occupational health nurses which participated in continuing education of Korean Association of Occupational Health Nurses. Oral health education contents consisted of basic knowledge about oral health, prevention of periodontal disease, oral health care for workers, and oral health program for workers. In order to evaluate the effects of oral health education, we performed questionnaire surveys before and after the education regarding their perceived oral health status and concern for oral health, knowledge about prevention of periodontal disease, attitude about oral health promotion, and needs for implementation of oral health promotion program. The data were analyzed by paired t-test to compare the change of knowledge and attitude according to the education. Linear regression analysis was carried out to assess the factors related to the improvement of their knowledge and attitude. The findings indicated that oral health knowledge and attitude of occupational health nurses were significantly improved by oral health education. A factor of the improvement of knowledge and attitude was concern for oral health. And they would like to be provided primarily oral health education for occupational health nurses. Finally, this study suggested that oral health education for occupational health nurses had significantly effects on improving oral health knowledge and attitude.

이번 연구에서는 근로자들의 구강건강증진 및 구강질환 예방을 도모하고, 구강건강에 대한 관심을 증가시키며, 근로자 구강보건사업의 지지 및 참여를 높이고자 산업간호사를 대상으로 한 구강보건교육 프로그램을 개발 및 수행하여 교육 전 후의 구강보건지식 및 태도수준을 비교하여 평가함으로써 근로자 구강보건교육 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 산업간호사를 대상으로 구강보건교육을 실시한 후, 교육 전 후 자가인지 구강건강수준 및 구강건강관리법에 대한 인지 및 권장수준의 변화를 비교 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 산업간호사를 대상으로 한 구강보건교육의 시행 후, 자가인지 구강건강수준과 구강건강관심도는 교육 시행 전에 비해 모두 유의하게 증가하였다. 치실 혹은 치간솔 사용, 법정 구강검진을 포함한 정기검진, 정기적인 치면세마를 포함한 치주병 예방법에 대한 인지수준이 교육 전에 비해 모두 유의하게 향상되었고, 구강질병 예방 및 구강건강증진을 위한 구강건강관리법에 대한 권장수준도 교육 전에 비해 매우 유의하게 향상되었다. 이와 연관된 요인을 확인해 본 결과, 구강건강관심도가 낮을수록 치주병 예방법별 인지수준과 구강건강관리법별 권장수준의 향상 정도가 모든 항목에서 크게 나타났다. 산업간호사의 근로자 구강건강증진 프로그램에 대한 의견을 듣고자 설문조사를 실시한 결과, 근로자를 위한 구강건강증진 프로그램을 수행하는 데 필요한 항목으로는 구강보건교육 전후 모두 '산업간호사에 대한 구강보건교육'이 1순위로 나타났다. 그러므로, 근로자들의 구강건강증진을 도모하기 위하여 산업구강보건의 중요한 협력자인 산업간호사를 대상으로 하는 지속적인 구강보건교육 시행이 필요하고, 이러한 교육을 통해 산업간호사의 구강보건지식 및 태도가 향상된다면, 앞으로 근로자 구강보건사업을 계획하고 수행하는 데 있어 산업간호사의 지지와 참여를 효율적으로 이끌어낼 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.
