Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors affecting the oral health behavior of mothers in multicultural families and the oral health management of children. Methods: The subjects were 303 mothers in multicultural families having children in childhood. To verify the validity of the outcome, a factorial analysis was conducted. To examine differences in the outcome according to socio-demographic characteristics, a one-way ANOVA was used, and the hypothesis was tested through a multiple regression analysis. Results: According to the results, it was found that severity, self-efficacy, sensitivity, and multicultural disability that show attitudes had significant impact on the mother's oral health behavior. Moreover, it was found that self-efficacy, sensitivity, and the mother's oral health behavior that show attitudes had significant impact on the children's oral health management. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it would be necessary to increase the interest in mother-and-child oral health, developing a mother-and-child oral health education program targeted toward the oral health of the mothers and children in multicultural families. Moreover, it is essential to educate mothers in multicultural families in order to increase their sense of responsibility toward their children's oral health management, aiming to promote knowledge and to change attitudes and behavior.

본 연구는 모친의 사회 경제적 요인과 구강건강신념이 유치우식증에 미치는 원인을 분석, 유아의 구강건강을 효과적으로 증진시키고자 전라북도 군산시에 거주하는 어린이집의 5, 6세 아동과 그 모친 174명을 대상으로 연구를 시행하였다. 조사 방법은 아동의 구강검진과 그 모친의 사회 경제적인 요인과 구강건강신념모형이었으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 유치우식증 실태는 우식경험유치지수의 경우 5세 남아가 3.39개, 여아는 2.76개였으며, 6세 남자는 3.86개, 여아는 3.27개 였다. 또한 유치우식경험율은 5세 남아에서 가장 높게 나타났으며(81.8%), 우식유치율이 처치유치율보다 높게 나타났다. 그러나 6세 여아에서는 치료된 치아가 우식보다 높게 나타났다. 5세 유아의 처치유치율은 남아가 여아보다 높게 나타나 통계학적으로 유의하게 나타났다(p<0.05). 2. 사회경제적인 요인에 따른 유치우식증 실태는 모친의 취업 여부와 세대주의 연령에서 통계학적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 모친이 취업한 경우(84.7%)가 미취업(66.7%)보다 유치우식경험율에서 높게 나타나 유의한 차이를 나타냈으며(p<0.05), 또한 세대주의 연령이 40세 이상일 때 우식경험유치지수가 가장 높게 나타났으며(4.07개), 그 다음은 35~39세에서 3.83개, 25~29세에서 3.33개, 30~34세에서 2.15개로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 3. 모친의 사회 경제적 요인에 따른 모친의 구강건강신념과의 통계학적으로 유의하게 나타난 것은 세대주의 학력, 시부모나 부모와의 동거 여부였다. 세대주의 학력은 구강질환에 때한 감수성과 심각성이 보통 정도 수준으로 고졸 하보다 대졸 이상에서 높게 나타났다(p<0.01)(p<0.05). 또한 시부모 또는 부모와의 동거 여부는 중요성이 낮았고 동거가 비동거보다 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 4. 유아의 우식경험유치지수가 모친의 구강건강신념과 연관성이 있었으며, 모친의 구강건강신념에 대한 유익성이 높을수록 아동의 우식경험유치지수가 낮게 나타났다.

Objectives : To estimate the prevalence of hypertension, rates of awareness, treatment modalities, and control of hypertension, and also to identify factors in rural Korea that are related to these aspects of hypertension. Methods : A cross-sectional survey, including blood pressure(BP) measurements and interviews, investigating the variables in the health belief model was peformed from August to November, 1999 on 1,426 (79.4%) study subjects out of 1,797 registered residents over 30 years old in Ibansong-Myun, Chinju City. A second survey was peformed from January to March, 2000 on 376 (80.0%) subjects out of 470 hypertensive (or suspected hypertensive) subjects found in the first survey. Two BP readings were taken in each survey using a standard mercury sphygmomanometer. Hypertension was defined as either a BP reading $\geq$ 140/90 mmHg in both surveys, or as subjects on oral hypertensive medication. Results : Estimated hypertension prevalence was 24.9% for men, and 30.4% for women. Rates of hypertension awareness, treatment (the regular use of oral hypertensives), and control (reduction of BP to <140/90 mmHg) were 52.5%, 34.4%, and 12.9%, respectively. The factors related to lower hypertension awareness in the logistic regression analysis were male gender, farming occupation, and higher perceived barrier to medical treatment (those for whom visiting health professionals is a burden). Conclusions : To improve the low awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension, a more active and out-reaching hypertension control program, including routine BP measurements for every visitor to primary care facilities, is needed in rural Korea.
