Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of oral care behavior, oral health care self-efficacy, and social support on the subjective oral health level of the elderly. The data survey was conducted from September 17, 2019 to November 22, 2019 for the elderly living in Daejeon Metropolitan City and parts of Chungcheongnam-do, and the collected data were analyzed by 𝑥2-test, Pearson correlation analysis, and logistic regression analysis. As a result of the survey, subjective oral health level increased by 3.242 times when dentures were not used and 2.339 times when the number of brushings per day was 3 or more times. In addition, as the oral health care self-efficacy and social support increased 1.755 times and 1.192 times, respectively, the subjective oral health level also increased. Based on the above results, in order to improve the subjective oral health level of the elderly, opportunities for oral health education such as denture care methods and toothbrushing lessons should be expanded. In addition, there is a need to prepare policies to reinforce oral health care self-efficacy and social support.

본 연구는 노인들의 구강관리행태, 구강건강관리 자기효능감, 사회적지지가 주관적 구강건강수준에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 실시하였다. 자료조사는 2019년 9월 17일부터 2019년 11월 22일까지 대전광역시와 충청남도 일부지역에 거주하는 노인들을 대상으로 하였으며, 수집된 자료는 𝑥2-test, Pearson 상관분석, 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 조사결과 주관적 구강건강수준은 틀니를 사용하고 있지 않은 경우 3.242배, 일일 칫솔질 횟수가 3회 이상인 경우 2.339배 증가하였으며, 구강건강관리 자기효능감과 사회적 지지가 각각 1.755배, 1.192배 증가함에 따라 주관적 구강건강수준도 증가하였다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 노인들의 주관적 구강건강수준의 증진을 위해서는 틀니관리방법과 칫솔질교습 등의 구강보건교육의 기회를 확대하고, 구강건강관리 자기효능감과 사회적 지지를 강화시킬 수 있는 정책 마련이 필요하다.
