Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore risk factors affecting the oral health quality of life of non-medical hospital workers. As for the research method, a survey was conducted on 608 workers at hospitals in the metropolitan area from April 20 to July 30, 2021. As research tools, questions related to work loss, oral health status, and oral health quality of life were investigated. For the analysis methods, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA test, and hierarchical regression analysis were performed. As a result of controlling exogenous variables, gender(β=0.108), systemic disease(β=0.136), oral health level(β=0.201), and oral health status(β=0.463) were found to have an effect on the quality of life. Initiating regular oral health education for non-medical hospital workers will be of great help to promote oral health and work.

본 연구 목적은 비의료직 병원 근로자들의 구강건강 관련 삶의 질에 미치는 위험요인을 탐색하고자 한다. 연구 방법은 수도권 소재의 일부 대학병원 근로자 608명을 대상으로 2021년 4월 20일 ~ 7월 30일까지 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구 도구로는 근로손실, 구강건강 상태, 구강건강 관련 삶의 질 문항을 조사하였다. 분석방법은 독립 표본 t-test, one-way ANOVA test, 위계적 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 외생변수 통제 결과 성별(β=0.108), 전신질환(β=0.136), 구강건강수준(β=0.201), 구강건강 상태(β=0.463)는 구강건강 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 비의료직 병원 근로자를 위한 정기적인 구강보건교육이 활성화된다면 구강건강 및 근로 증진에 큰 기여를 할 수 있을 것이다.
