본 연구는 요양시설 치매노인들의 인지기능과 구강건강상태 및 구강 내 병원성 미생물의 관계를 파악하기 위해 시도되었다. 대구소재 요양기관에 거주하는 70세 이상 치매노인이라는 특수성으로 비확률적 표본방식을 통해 30명을 대상으로 2019년 2월 한 달간 자료를 수집하였다. SPSS window ver. 21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, ANOVA, Pearson's 상관계수로 분석하였다. 연구결과 요양판정등급이 낮을수록 고위험 병원성 세균이 많았고, 현존 치아수가 많을수록 구강 내 미생물의 수가 높게 나타났다. 하지만 인지기능과는 무의미한 차이를 보였다. 따라서, 요양시설의 치매노인 구강건강 관리를 위해서는 구강 내 환경에 따라 관리 방법을 달리하여야 하고 실제적인 건강관리를 위해서는 전문적인 관리자가 구강건강관리를 할 수 있어야 한다고 제언한다.
