Abstract

This study investigated the effect of oral health on health-related quality of life in cancer patients and cancer survivors using data from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination survey. Data analysis was a complex sample analysis using SPSS/WIN 26.0. As a result of conducting complex sample logistic regression analysis to investigate factors affecting the quality of life of cancer patients and cancer survivors, the average quality of life was 1.18 points for cancer patients and 1.16 points for cancer survivors. The quality of life of cancer patients was significantly lowerer when they had discomfort chewing and speech difficulties, and needed dentures. Cancer suvivors was significantly lowerer when they had speech difficulties. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the importance of oral care for cancer patients and cancer survivors, and to develop and utilize oral health care programs so that continuous and professional access to oral health care is necessary.

본 연구는 제7기 국민건강영양조사 자료를 활용하여 암환자와 암생존자의 구강건강이 건강 관련 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS/WIN 26.0을 이용하여 복합표본 분석을 하였다. 암환자와 암생존자의 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보기 위해 복합표본 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 암환자의 삶의 질 평균은 1.18점이었으며, 암생존자의 삶의 질 평균은 1.16점이었다. 암환자는 씹기와 말하기에 불편감이 있을수록, 의치가 필요할수록 유의하게 삶의 질이 낮았으며, 암생존자는 말하기에 불편감이 있을수록 삶의 질이 낮았다. 따라서 암환자와 암생존자를 위한 구강관리 중요성을 인식하고, 구강건강관리 프로그램을 개발하여 활용할 수 있도록 지속적이고 전문적인 구강건강관리에 대한 접근이 필요하다.
