Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine halitosis perception status of firefighters and identify the factors related to halitosis; for this purpose, a survey was conducted in 241 firefighters in Daejeon, obtaining the following results: First. The higher level of smoking and alcohol intake, the more likely to perceive halitosis; all of those with a general disease perceived halitosis; and the more stress, the more likely to perceive halitosis. Second, The respondents who brushed their teeth three times a day, who spent 1~2 minutes in brushing their teeth, who failed to wash their tongue, and who had never received oral health education were most likely to perceive halitosis. And third. such factors as age, the amount of tongue coating, and dry mouth affected halitosis perception status. Firefighters' halitosis perception is related to several factors. For this reason, emphasis is placed on the need to develop a program for helping firefighters prevent halitosis and remove oral symptoms and to give education for good oral health management.

본 연구는 소방공무원들의 구취자각 유무를 파악하고 구취에 관련된 요인을 알아보기 위하여 대전지역 소방공무원 241명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 흡연량과 음주량이 높은 경우 구취를 더 자각하고 있었고 전신질환을 가진 경우 구취를 모두 자각하고 있었으며 스트레스가 심할수록 구취를 더 자각하고 있었다. 둘째, 잇솔질 3회 집단, 잇솔질 시간 1~2분 집단, 혀닦기를 안하는 집단, 구강보건교육경험 없는 집단이 구취를 가장 높게 자각하고 있었다. 셋째, 설태량이 '많음', 음식이 '잘낌', 건조감을 '느낌' 집단에서 다른 집단들에 비해 구취를 더 자각하고 있었다. 넷째, 구취자각 유무에 관련된 요인을 확인한 결과 연령, 설태량, 건조감이 구취 자각 유무에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 한국 소방공무원의 구취자각 유무 실태와 관련요인에 대해 파악할 수 있었고 소방공무원들의 구취예방과 구강증상을 해결하기 위한 프로그램의 개발과 올바른 구강건강관리를 위한 교육의 필요성이 강조되었다.
