The program effect was the index of oral environment care ability and the score of dental caries risk per each session. In addition, images were taken for phase-contrast microscopy. The PHP index before and after the oral healthcare program and the risk of dental caries decreased but showed no significant difference. An observation on phase-contrast microscopy revealed that the number of cocci decreased at the third session compared to that in the first session, and almost no bacillus was observed.

본 논문에서는 고등학생 교육대상자들의 특성을 고려하여 구강보건교육을 매스미디어를 활용한 교육매체를 직접 제작하여 지식전달인 지적 영역과 태도변화인 정의적 영역, 행동의 변화인 정신운동 영역을 살펴보았다. 이에 매스미디어를 활용한 보건교육의 장점은 더 개발하고, 단점은 보완하여 교육대상자들에게 흥미도를 높혀 관심을 가지고 행동의 변화를 보일 수 있도록 해야겠으며, 일회성인 교육매체 자료 보다는 사이버 공간에서도 교육대상자가 언제든지 다시 볼 수 있도록 하여 계속관리 교육이 되도록 할 수 있다.
