Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the oral health care and self-rated health status of adults visiting dental clinics in the region of Busan and influential factors for their dental fear from January to May, 2017, in an effort to obtain some information on how to relieve fear. As for dental fear, adults who were in their 30s, who were homemakers and whose monthly income ranged from 4 to 4.99 million won. In regard to fear according to oral health care, dental fear caused by the treatment avoidance factor was stronger among the adults who didn't receive dental checkups and who brushed their teeth in the wrong way. Dental fear that was attributed to the physiological reaction factor and the stimuli-inducing factor was severer among the adults who didn't receive dental checkups and who had no scaling experience. Overall fear was severer among the adults who didn't receive dental checkups and who changed their toothbrushes every four or more months. The factors that affected dental fear were self-rated health status, self-rated oral health status, gender, age, whether to receive dental checkups on a regular basis or not, and oral health education experience. Therefore in order to alleviate dental fear, self-rated health status should be improved, and the kind of system that encourages regular dental checkups and provides oral health education should be prepared.

본 연구는 2017년 1월부터 5월까지 일부지역치과에 내원하는 성인들을 대상으로 구강건강관리행태와 주관적 건강 인식수준을 파악하고 치과공포감에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하여 치과공포감을 낮추기 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자 한다. 치과공포에서 회피요인은 여자, 40대, 고졸이하, 주부, 300-399만원, 생리적 반응요인은 여자, 40대, 주부, 200-299점, 자극유발유인 여자, 30대, 주부, 전체공포수준은 30대, 주부, 400-499만원에서 높았다. 구강건강관리행태에 따른 공포감에서 치료회피요인은 구강검진을 하지 않고, 칫솔질방법이 틀린 경우, 생리적 반응요인과 자극반응요인은 검진을 하지 않고, 스케일링 경험이 없는 경우, 전체공포감은 검진을 하지 않고, 칫솔교환시기가 4개월 이상인 경우에서 치과공포감이 높았다. 치과공포에 영향을 미치는 주관적 건강인식수준, 주관적 구강건강인식수준, 성별, 나이, 정기검진유무, 구강보건교육 경험유무가 영향을 미쳤다. 따라서 치과공포감을 줄이기 위해서는 주관적 인식을 개선하고 정기검진과 구강보건교육을 위한 시스템이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
