Abstract

This qualitative analysis was conducted to analyze the effects of teeth and eating foods in the elderly on their subjective happiness based on a focus-group interview (FGI). The study subjects were 10 people over 65 years old who visited a social welfare center in D City and agreed to participate in the study. One group consisted of five members and FGIs were performed for about 40 minutes per group. Based on the study results, five topics were evaluated, status of teeth, methods of dental health control, inconvenience within mouth, eating foods, and eating foods and subjective happiness. The study subjects answered that they felt distressed and annoyed if they could only see, but not eat favorite foods and that this made them feel old. One respondent even mentioned it made them want to stop living. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to develop customized dental health control programs by age, gender, income level, education level, and health status, and to build the specialists.

본 연구는 노인의 치아상태와 음식물 섭취가 주관적 행복감에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위한 포커스그룹 면담을 적용한 질적 내용분석연구이다. 연구대상자는 D시의 종합사회복지관을 방문한 65세 이상 노인 중 연구 참여에 동의한 10명을 대상으로 수행하였으며, 5명을 한 그룹으로 하여 그룹 당 약 40분의 면담을 진행하였다. 본 연구결과 '치아상태', '구강건강관리방법', '구강 내 불편감', '음식물 섭취', '음식물 섭취와 주관적 행복감'의 5개의 주제가 도출되었으며, 핵심 주제로는 노인의 음식물섭취와 주관적 행복감에 대한 핵심주제는 첫째 '치아상태'로 틀니, 보철, 임플란트, 건전치아를 제외한 구강 내 결손치아는 1개에서 4개로 식사를 하거나 발음, 생활하는데 활용하는 치아는 24개 - 28개로 대답하였다. 본 연구에 참여한 노인 연구대상자들은 좋아하는 음식을 보고도 먹지 못하는 경우 속상하고 짜증나며, 본인이 나이가 들었다는 생각을 하게 된다고 대답하였으며 심지어 그만 살고 싶을 것 같다고도 대답하였다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 추후 노인의 연령, 성별, 소득수준, 교육수준, 건강상태 등에 따른 맞춤형 구강건강관리 프로그램개발 및 전문가양성을 해나가야 할 것으로 사료된다.
