This study was to survey the relationship between employment stress and self-rated oral health status in university students from Sep. 2 to 27, 2019. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 program. In case of high employment stress, the comparative risk of self-rated oral health status was 1.7 times in Gingiva swelling, 1.46 times in ulcer and 1.53 times in hypersensitivity. After correcting the general characteristics (gender, age, grade, major), the comparative risk was 1.56 times for Gingiva swelling, 1.42 times for ulcer and 1.44 times for hypersensitivity. Therefore employment stress was found to be related to oral health and it is considered necessary to find ways to prevent and manage oral health by seeking various methods such as counseling support or stress control to reduce employment stress.

본 논문은 임신의 시기가 내분비계의 변화로 인한 프로게스테론의 과잉분비가 발생하여 혈관의 투과성을 항진시켜 구강내의 잇몸 부종, 잇몸 출혈 등을 유발하고, 입덧으로 인한 메쓰꺼움, 몸의 무거움과 나른함, 음식 기호변화, 간식횟수의 증가 등을 겪게 되어 신체뿐 아니라 구강 환경 또한 변화하게 된다는 여러 관련 자료들을 근거로 임산부의 구강 건강상태와 구강보건인식을 파악하고자 2008년 12월 15일 ~ 2009년 1월 30일까지 180명의 임산부를 대상으로 구강건강상태와 구강보건인식에 대한 조사를 실시하였다. 설문의 결과 임산부의 생활수준, 분만경험, 임신시기에 따라 생활수준이 좋을수록, 분만경험이 없는 경우에서, 4-6개월 임신시기 시 구강건강상태에 대하여 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 건강한 구강건강을 위한 우선 행위인 잇솔질에서의 교육 수준별, 생활 수준별, 임신 시기별로 식사 후 3회 정도의 잇솔질의 횟수가 유의미한 차이의 결과를 나타내었으며, 잇솔질시 오심과 구토로 잇솔질이 어려운 임산부들의 구강상태 청결을 위해 사용되어지는 보조구강위생용품으로는 치실, 구강 양치액, 혀 클리너, 치간 칫솔이 사용된다는 결과가 나타났다. 이러한 결과의 자료들은 임신 시기 중 가장 고민된다고 답하여준 구강건강 부분에서의 입덧으로 인한 잇솔질의 어려움, 잇몸출혈, 충치, 치석제거, 구강질환 치료의 적정시기, 구취 등의 부분을 임산부 대상의 구강보건교육 시 기존의 자료에 조금 더 중점적으로 다루어져야 하는 부분임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlations between the self-reported symptoms of periodontal diseases and the quality of life. This study conducted its questionnaire survey over the subjects of 450 adults who had ever visited dental clinics among the adults of age 35-65 living in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do region from January 7 to March 14, 2010. The data were analyzed using a chi-square test, t-test, binominal logistic regression analysis in the SPSS version 12.0 program. Among the self-reported symptoms of periodontal diseases, 65% of respondents perceived that 'I bleed from the gums in brushing my teeth', which was the most, whereas 18.8% of respondents perceived to 'tooth mobility', which was the least. Self-reported symptoms of periodontal diseases was associated with socio-demographic characteristics such as sex, age, level of education and periodic oral examination, dental scaling(p<0.05). People who perceived the symptoms of periodontal diseases experienced functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, disability in diverse domains, and social handicap more than the group who did not perceive them(p<0.001). OHIP-14 scores were significantly correlated with sex, bleeding gums, swollen gums and bad breath(p<0.05). This study showed the self-reported periodontal problem had a negative impact on the public's leading their happy life. Therefore, in order to enhance the quality of life in adults, it is necessary to prevent periodontal diseases and reduce the subjective symptoms.
