Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of oral health status on daily life of elderly women. The subjects of this study were 142 elderly women aged 60 years or older who were surveyed through questionnaires, interviews, counseling, and oral examinations. The SPSS program was used for frequency analysis, descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The results of the study showed that the number affected on daily life were 1.4 in average and the oral health condition was the highest at scaling (59.4%). When the oral status was unsatisfactory, it was found to be uncomfortable in daily life. In case of oral pain, oral status and poor removal of calculus, the number and frequency in daily life were increased. In conclusion, the oral health of elderly women can improve their daily life ability and affect the quality of life. Therefore, a systematic oral care plan is needed through the expansion of oral health promotion education for elderly women and the development of continuous preventive programs.

본 연구의 목적은 일부지역 여성노인들의 구강건강상태가 일상생활을 영위하는데 있어 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 진행되었다. 연구대상자는 60세 이상 여성노인 142명이었고, 설문법, 면접, 상담, 구강검사를 통해 조사를 시행하였다. 연구분석은 SPSS 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도분석과 기술통계 및 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구의 결과를 살펴보면 일상생활에 영향을 받는 항목으로 평균 1.4개로 나타났고 구강건강상태는 치석제거 59.4%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 치아잇몸 상태가 만족스럽지 않을 때 일상생활에 불편을 느끼는 것으로 나타났으며, 구강통증, 치아잇몸상태, 치석제거불량의 경우 일상생활에 불편 항목수와 빈도가 높아졌다. 결론적으로 여성노인의 구강건강과 관련하여 일상생활능력이 향상되고 삶의 질에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 따라서 여성노인을 대상으로 하는 구강건강증진 교육의 확대와 지속적인 예방프로그램 개발을 통해 체계화된 구강관리 방안이 요구된다.
