초록

Objectives: 현재 장애인의 구강건강은 구강건강전문인력인 치과위생사가 아닌 사회복지사가 책임지고 있는 실정이다. 장애인 복지시설에 상주하는 사회복지사에게 올바른 구강건강 관리방법을 제공함으로써 장애인 구강건강의 형평성 제고를 도모하고자 한다. Methods: 2019년 4월 13일부터 2019년 4월 20까지 서울시 송파구에 위치한 'o' 장애인 복지시설에 거주하는 1급 지적장애인을 대상으로 식후 치과위생사 4명과 사회복지사 4명이 잇솔질 시행 후 구강환경관리능력지수(PHP Index)를 측정하여 비교하였다. 사전에 사회복지사 4명에게 잇솔질(회전법)을 교육하였으며, 잇솔질 방법과 검사 측정 도구를 통일하였다. 대상자의 구강보건지식을 평가하기 위해 자기기입식 설문지를 사용하였고, 구강보건지식점수 및 구강환경관리능력지수(PHP index) 점수의 평균, 대상자의 일반적 특성에 대해 Microsoft Office Excel ver.2016 을 이용하여 빈도 및 백분율 산출하였다(N%). Results: 치과위생사와 사회복지사의 구강보건지식 조사에서 모든 문항에서 치과위생사가 높은 점수를 나타냈다. 치과위생사와 사회복지사가 지적장애인을 대상으로 잇솔질(회전법) 실시 후 구강환경관리능력지수(PHP Index)를 비교했을 때 연령별, 성별 모든 분류에서 치과위생사의 구강환경관리능력지수(PHP Index)가 낮게 나타났다. 2차에 걸쳐 치과위생사와 사회복지사가 지적장애인을 대상으로 잇솔질(회전법) 실시 후 구강환경관리능력지수(PHP Index)를 비교했을 때 1차, 2차 모두 치과위생사의 구강환경관리능력지수(PHP Index)가 낮게 나타났다. Conclusions: 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 장애인들의 구강건강관리를 위해 치과위생사가 사회복지사보다 구강건강관리능력이 더 효율적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 장애인들의 입소시설에 치과위생사가 구강건강관리전문 인력으로 배치되어 장애인 및 사회복지사의 교육을 담당할 수 있는 환경이 조성되어야하며, 치과위생사를 양성하는 대학의 교육과정에도 장애인의 특성을 이해하는 교과목이 개설되어 전문성이 제고되어야 한다.

Objectives: Currently, oral health of the disabled is taken care of by the social workers, not by dental hygienists, who are the oral health professional in this area. Therefore, we aim to enhance the equity of oral health for the disabled by providing the correct oral health care method to social workers residing in the welfare facility for the disabled. Methods: Four dental hygienists and four social workers were given the class I intellectual disabilities living in 'o' welfare facilities for disabled people in Songpa-gu, Seoul from April 13, 2019 to April 20, 2019. Patient Hygiene Performance(PHP) Index were measured and compared. In advance, the social workers were taught brushing (Rolling method), and the method of brushing and measuring tools were integrated. Results: Twice a total of dental hygienists and social workers practiced toothbrushing(Rolling method) for the class I intellectual disabilities who is a person to be brushed. When comparing the Patient Hygiene Performance(PHP) Index after the second round, the result shows that both the first and second dental hygienists' Patient Hygiene Performance(PHP) Index is lower. Conclusions: Comparing oral health knowledge level and Patient Hygiene Performance(PHP) index of dental hygienist and social workers, the result shows that dental hygienist has higher oral health care ability. Therefore, the dental hygienist should be placed in welfare facility for the disabled as an expert in oral health management to create an environment in which the disabled and social workers can be trained. In addition, the curriculum of the college that nurtures the dental hygienists should have a course to understand the characteristics of the disabled person in order to enhance the professionalism of dental hygienists.
