Objectives : This research analyzed the general characteristics that closely affect the children's dental health and the mothers' dental health knowledge and dental health behavior to identify the correlation of the latter with the status of children's dental health in order to provide the basic data for the development of dental health business that would target children. Methods : Research subjects were selected arbitrarily from three nursery schools located in Busan metropolitan city, targeting 186 children between the ages of four to six and their mothers. The children were subjected to dental Inspection, and the status of their dental caries was studied whereas the mothers were subjected to the surveys on the general characteristics, dental health knowledge and dental health behavior. Results : 1. Level of mothers' dental health knowledge is higher when the mothers' educational level is higher(p=0.02) and when the household's monthly income is higher(p=0.009). 2. When the level of mothers' dental health knowledge is higher, children tended to brush their toothbrushing using proper method(p=0.025). Moreover, when the level of mothers' dental health knowledge is higher, they tended to take their children to dental clinic mostly for preventive measures than for treating cavity(p=0.023). 3. When the level of mothers' dental health knowledge is higher, children's dmft index was significantly low(p=0.02). When the mothers use fluoride-containing toothpaste, children's children' dmft index was even lower(p=0.02). 4. As the children tended to brush their teeth more often, dmft index was lower(p=0.003). When the reason that the children visited dental clinic was more to prevent, than to treat cavity, dmft index was even lower(p=0.000) Conclusions : When the above mentioned results are summarized, it is possible to know that the mothers' dental health knowledge and dental health behavior significantly affect children's dental health. Accordingly, it is necessary to develop maternal and child dental health program that factors in both the mothers and children in order to prevent children's dental caries and to increase their dental health, and continued care is required to discover and treat dental caries early on.

본 연구는 청소년의 구강건강 특성이 주관적 행복에 미치는 요인을 분석하고자 청소년건강행태조사(제16차, 2020년)를 이용하여 로지스틱 회귀분석 하였다(54,948명). 주관적 행복은 일반적 특성(성별, 학년, 학업성적, 경제수준, 거주형태, 자살생각, 음주경험, 흡연경험, 어머니 학력)의 모든 변수에서 유의한 차이를 보였고 구강건강 특성(칫솔질 횟수, 점심식사 후 칫솔질, 외상, 통증, 잇몸출혈 경험)에 따라서 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 주관적 행복에 미치는 융합 요인은 칫솔질 횟수(2회(OR=1.45), 3회(OR=1.53)), 점심식사 후 칫솔질(OR=1.19), 실란트경험(OR=1.08), 통증(OR=0.73), 잇몸출혈 경험(OR=0.74)이었다. 이 연구는 청소년의 주관적 행복을 증진시키기 위한 방안 연구에 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 다문화가족과 일반가족 청소년의 주관적 구강증상을 알아보고, 건강형평성 확보를 위한 정책결정과정에 있어서 기초자료를 제공하고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구는 제10차(2014년)청소년건강행태 온라인조사의 원시자료를 이용하였으며, 만 12-18세 청소년 총 66,857명을 연구대상자로 선정하였다. 주관적 구강증상 여부를 종속변수로 한 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 모든 변수가 보정된 상태에서 성별, 연령, 학업성적, 아버지의 교육수준, 어머니의 교육수준, 주관적 경제 상태, 거주형태, 흡연여부, 음주여부, 하루 탄산음료 섭취빈도, 하루 과일 섭취빈도, 하루 과자 섭취빈도 및 하루 칫솔질 횟수가 주관적 구강 증상 여부와 유의한 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 따라서 앞으로 다문화가족 관련 복지와 보건 서비스 사업을 점층적으로 확대함과 동시에 그 수가 증가하는 다문화 청소년에 초점을 맞춰 실시되어야 한다.

Objectives : By analyzing the affects of the mother's oral care to the caries experiences of the elementary school children, To looking for the way to prevent dental caries in the primary school, to provide baseline data to perform the associated oral health education. Methods : Between the 3,676 children's dental check-up data and the 2,934 survey of parents from 9 elementary schools in the the Gyeonggi Province, the exactly matching data of 2,358 pairs, children versus mothers, were analyzed during the period, 2009 May 4 to July 20, By using the PASW 18(SPSS-PC 18), Frequency analysis of the collected data, and cross-analysis, ANOVA, Bonferroni post-analysis was performed. Results : The findings of the study were as follows. 1. In children, the ratio(DMF rate)of the dental caries experience in permanent teeth, appeared higher for men than women. Divided by grade level, the ratio of caries experience in the permanent teeth(DMF rate) generally appear higher in older than young. Thus between the child's gender and grade level by the ratio of caries experience in the permanent teeth(DMF rate) showed the statistically significant differences (p<0.05). 2. Between the socioeconomic characteristics of mothers and the children's level of dental caries experiences, not showed the statistically significant difference.(p>0.05). 3. The significant difference showed between the dental caries levels of the children and the mother's oral health care behavior - a toothbrush replacement period, mother's broken teeth, mothers guidances of the brushing after snacks for children(p<0.05). Conclusions : The mother's oral health attitudes and behaviors can affect to their children's oral care habits. Therefore The mother themselves should have the right proper habit of oral health care, so that in oral health care mothers should be the model for their children. Institutionally more systematic and detailed oral health educational program in conjunction with the family is needed.

The present study attempted to analyze the influence of the mother's demographic characteristics and knowledge on oral health as well as dental care behaviors on her practice of using dental care institutions. A self-report survey was conducted among 172 mothers of children aged 5-6 attending on three preschools located in Daegu metropolitan city. Statistical analysis was conducted using the SAS 8.01 with $X^2$-test, t-test and logistic regression. The obtained results were as follows: 1. No significant association was found among the demographic characteristics of the mother, her past experience as well as the purpose of using dental care institutions. 2. There was significant relationship between the mother's knowledge and behavior concerning oral health and her past experience of using dental care institutions; the mothers having a higher level of knowledge and who thought they themselves didn't have healthy teeth and gum tended to have more visits to dental care institutions(pE0.05). There was also significant relationship between their purpose and their actual practice of using dental care institutions: the mothers having a higher level of knowledge and who thought their own oral health was good tended to visit dental institutions more for the preventive purpose than for treatments(pE0.05). 3. As a result of logistic regression, the variables formed as models were their knowledge on oral health and their values for oral health. The standardized coefficients for the two variables were -0.19 and 0.19, respectively. For the mother's purpose of visiting dental care institutions, the variables formed as models were their knowledge on oral health and their values for oral health. The standardized coefficients for the two variables were -0.40 and -0.37, respectively. The relative contributions of the two variables to the mother's practice of using dental care institutions were on the similar level.
