보육교사들의 구강보건경험과 인지도 및 필요성에 따라 구강보건지식정도를 파악하고 관련성이 있는지 조사하고자, 경남지역에 소재한 37개 어린이집에 있는 보육교사 267명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 교육유무에 따른 구강보건지식을 살펴보면 교육경험이 있는 경우가 교육경험이 없는 경우보다 높게 나타났다. 교육장소별에 따른 구강보건지식을 살펴보면 보건소에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 교육필요 요구별에 따른 치주질환, 불소, 자일리톨의 구강보건지식에서 교육이 필요하다고 응답하였다. 교육참석 필요성에 따른 치주질환, 자일리톨의 구강보건지식에서 교육에 참석한다고 응답한 경우가 높게 나타났다. 교육의 필요성과 교육참석 필요성은 높은 상관관계(r=0.874)를 보였고, 치주질환 지식항목과 구강보건교육 참석도는 낮은 상관관계를 나타냈다(r=0.345). 보육교사의 구강보건교육경험과 인지도 및 필요성은 구강보건 지식에 관련성이 있었고, 아이들의 구강 보건을 효과적으로 관리하기 위해서는 보육교사에게 체계적이고 규칙적인 구강보건교육 프로그램이 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.
