Abstract

The purpose of this study was to improve efficacy of oral health education in children and adolescents based on the experience and perception of oral health education in young adults who graduated from high school within 10 years. Questionnaires were given to 412 people, and among them, 388 completed survey forms were selected. The questionnaire included categories which examined one's experience and perception of oral health education, oral health knowledge, dental history, and oral health behavior. The results showed that the respondents perceived elementary school as the most effective period of oral health education. Oral examination with direct explanation was the most preferred method of oral health education, but web search was the main source of oral health information. And knowledge of fluoride and sealant about caries preventive effect was still lacking. Considering these results, oral examination with direct explanation and web search would be useful to improve efficacy of oral health education in children and adolescents.

이 연구의 목적은 고등학교를 졸업한지 10년 이내의 성인을 대상으로 구강보건교육 경험과 인식을 조사하여 소아와 청소년의 구강보건교육을 제고할 방안을 찾기 위함이다. 412명의 성인에게 설문지를 배포 후 회수된 설문지 중 기준에 부합하는 388명을 선정하였다. 설문 내용은 학령기 구강보건교육 경험과 인식, 구강건강에 대한 인식, 구강건강 행동과 태도에 대한 항목을 포함하였다. 설문조사 결과, 효과적인 구강보건교육 시기는 초등학교로 인식되었다. 가장 선호하는 구강보건교육 방법은 치과의사의 구강검진 및 대면 설명이었고 구강건강 지식은 주로 웹 검색을 통해 습득하는 것으로 조사되었다. 불소와 홈메우기의 치아우식 예방 효과에 대한 인식은 다소 부족하였다. 이 연구를 통해 향후 소아와 청소년의 구강보건교육에 치과의사의 역할을 확대하고 웹 검색을 활용하는 것이 효율성 제고에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
