본 연구에서는 A치과에 내원하는 환자 중 20-60세에 해당하는 환자 110명을 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 전신질환과 구강건강 간 연관성에 관한 인식 수준과 교육 현황을 파악하였고, 최종 분석에는 92명의 응답을 포함하였다. 연구대상자 중 두 건강상태의 연관성을 인식하고 있는 비율은 48.9%로 나타났다. 또한 연구대상자 중 39.1%는 전신질환과 구강건강의 연관성에 대한 교육을 받은 경험이 있는 것으로 나타났고, 68.5%는 교육이 필요한 것으로 인식하였다. 전신질환과 구강건강의 연관성과 교육 필요성 인식 수준과 관련된 요인을 확인하기 위하여, 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시한 결과 정기적으로 치과를 내원하는 경우 두 질환의 연관성을 인식할 가능성이 3.94배 높았고, 주관적 구강건강수준이 나쁜 경우 교육의 필요성을 인지할 가능성이 5.20배 높았으며, 과거 교육경험 여부는 두 질환의 연관성 인식 및 교육 필요성 인식 수준에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 치과에 내원하는 환자들을 대상으로 치과의료전문가는 교육주체자로서 보다 체계적인 교육방식을 통하여 전신질환과 구강건강 간 연관성에 관한 교육을 필수적으로 수행해야 할 것이다. 이를 위해 치과의료전문가는 진료실 구강보건교육 매뉴얼 및 다양한 매체를 개발해야 하고, 효과적인 교육방법을 모색해야 한다.

본 연구는 초등학생을 대상으로 참여식 및 강의식 교육법의 구강보건교육이 치과공포지수에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 치과공포를 줄일 수 있는 구강보건교육 방안을 마련하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 2014년 4월 D초등학교에 다니는 10세 아동으로, 의사소통이 가능하며 전신 질환이 없는 아동 총 40명을 대상으로 하였다. 본 연구는 구강보건교육을 시행하기 전, 각 교육군 연구대상자들에게 치과공포지수를 측정하기 위하여 자가기입 설문조사를 수행하였다. 그 후, 2주에 걸쳐 한 시간 가량의 구강보건교육을 총 2회 진행하였다. 참여식 교육군에는 소아치과에서 사용하는 행동조절방법인 체계적 탈감작법(Tell(말)-Show(시범)-Do(시행))을 적용하여 구강보건교육을 진행하였고, 강의식 교육군(대조군)에는 power point(PPT)를 이용한 교육방법으로 실시하였다. 2회 교육이 종료된 후, 각 군에서 교육 전 조사한 설문지와 동일한 설문지를 이용하여, 치과공포지수를 재측정하였다. 참여식 교육군에서는 교육 전 치과공포지수가 9.61점이었으나, 교육 후에 7.13점으로 유의하게 감소하였으나, 강의식 교육군은 교육 전 11.14점에서 교육 후 10.59점으로 조사되었다. 따라서, 참여식 교육방법을 적용하는 구강보건교육이 소아 청소년의 치과공포지수를 감소시키는데 효과적인 것으로 사료되었다.
