Objectives: The purpose of this study is to verify the usefulness and practicality of the program in the daily life of the elderly by performing a three-dimensional tongue muscle exercise for the elderly to identify the dysphagia, swallowing ability, and tongue pressure. Methods: The subjects of the study were 29 elderly people aged 65 or older living in Busan, divided into a oral exercises group and tongue strength training program combined with oral exercises group, and operated 16 times for 8 weeks twice a week, and the pre and post-program evaluation was conducted in the 1st and 8th weeks. For variable selection, 7 general characteristics, 5 oral health-related characteristics, 5 Likert scale for swallowing disorder, repetitive swallowing ability test for swallowing power measurement, and tongue pressure measurement was used. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS window program 25.0 version (IBM), general characteristics and homogeneity tests, oral health-related characteristics and homogeneity tests were chi-square test, swallowing disorder, swallowing ability, and change in tongue pressure were paired t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, t-test, Mann-Whitney U test for swallowing disorder and changes in swallowing ability and tongue pressure, and Spearman's correlation for the relationship between swallowing disorder and swallowing ability and tongue pressure. Results: As a result of tongue strength training program combined with oral exercise, both relieve swallowing disorder and improve low eating and tongue pressure than oral exercise, and the difference in improvement effects of both relieve swallowing disorder, swallowing ability, and tongue pressure is higher. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it is believed that simple and practical oral muscle function reinforcement products and practical use are needed, and institutional devices to seek oral health promotion programs for the elderly are needed.

본 연구는 국내거주 중국인 유학생의 흡연경험 유무에 따른 구강건강관련 자기효능감과 삶의 질의 관계를 파악하고자 부산시내에 위치한 지역대학 내 중국 유학생을 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료를 SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 통해 분석한 결과 흡연 비경험자가 흡연 경험자보다 칫솔질과 구강건강관리 관련 자기효능감, 구강건강관련 삶의 질의 점수가 각각 높게 나타나 유의한 결과가 나타났다. 칫솔질 자기효능감은 구강건강관리 관련 자기효능감과 정적 상관을 가지고 있었고, 구강건강관리 관련 자기효능감은 구강건강 삶의 질과 정적 상관을 가지고 있어 유의미한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 흡연경험의 유무는 외국인 유학생의 구강건강증진 및 삶의 질 향상과 관계가 있는 것으로 나타나 건강한 유학생활을 위해 구강건강증진 프로그램 개발의 필요성을 전달하여 기초자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between oral health perception and oral health-related quality of life-14(OHIP-14) in a geriatric hospital. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 230 elderly people in a long-term care institution. The questionnaire was consisted of items on general characteristics, oral health perception and OHIP-14. Except incomplete answers, 226 data were analyzed statistically with one-way ANOVA, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient and post hoc Tukey test and ANOVA when significance was set at 0.05. Results: The OHIP-14 showed a negative linear relationship(p<0.01) of r=-0.272 with the oral health perception. Among the subgroups of the OHIP-14, quantitative linear relationship(p<0.01) was shown in functional limitation(r=0.822), physical pain(r=0.825), psychological discomfort(r=0.568), physical disability(r=0.895), psychological disability(r=0.652), social disability(r=0.804) and handicap(r=0.818). Conclusions: In order to improve the oral health perception and OHIP-14 in a geriatric hospital, it is necessary to develop continuously a variety of oral health education and systematic oral health promotion program.

Background: The population of Gangneung City in South Korea has shown a gradual increase in the proportion of individuals aged 65 years and older, and the most frequently reported diseases for several years have consistently been periodontal diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis. The regional imbalance in the distribution of dental personnel and resources has emerged as a problem of inequality in the use of dental care. It has been advocated to identify areas with disadvantages in dental care and develop public dental policies based on that. This study aimed to develop a customized oral healthcare program for local seniors based on a Public-Private-Academic Partnership, and to evaluate the oral health status of older adults in Gangneung City. Methods: The participants were residents aged 60 years and above in Gangneung City. A questionnaire including general information, systemic health status, and oral health status was administered to the participants. In addition, oral healthcare and education tailored to each individual's health status were provided once or twice based on their oral health status. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 for descriptive statistical analysis. Results: Among the older adults in Gangneung City, 75% had at least one prosthesis and exhibited symptoms of gingivitis or periodontitis. Additionally, the modified sulcus bleeding index decreased among participants who underwent the program twice. Over 90% of the participants expressed satisfaction with the program. Conclusion: The program appeared to contribute positively to the oral health promotion among local seniors. Further oral healthcare programs should focus on seniors in rural and old urban areas to reduce disparities in oral health across regions.

본 연구는 고령화 사회를 맞이하여 노인들의 구강건강상태와 의치필요도를 알아보고자 하였다. '국민건강 영양조사 제5기 1차년도 (2010)원시자료'의 건강설문조사와 구강검진을 활용하여 노인의 주관적 구강건강 수준과 구강관리 행태에 따른 의치필요도를 조사하기 위하여 분석하였다. 목표 모집단을 우리나라에 거주하고 있는 대한민국 국민이며, 65세 이상 노인표본 1,419명을 조사하였다. 연구대상자의 구강건강상태에 따른 의치필요도의 상관관계를 알아보기 위하여 카이제곱검정과 교차비 확률을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 주관적인 구강건강상태 중 씹기 불편(p<0.001)과 말하기 불편(p<0.001)이 유의미한 관련성이 있는 것으로 검토되었다. 객관적 구강건강상태에서는 치아우식증 유병률(p<0.001)이 있는 노인에서 의치필요도가 높게 나타났다. 구강건강관리 행태에 따른 의치 필요도는 구강위생보조용품을 사용하지 않는 노인과 치과치료를 받지 않는 노인에서 의치필요도가(p<0.001)매우 높은 것으로 검토되었다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 노인의 주관적 객관적 구강건강상태 및 구강건강관리 행태에 따른 의치필요도가 파악되었으며 이러한 결과의 바탕으로 노인의 구강건강상태가 지속적으로 유지 보존될 수 있도록 활발한 구강보건교육 및 전문가 관리가 활발하게 이루어질 수 있도록 프로그램이 계발되어야 할 것이다.

Purpose. A huge proportion of adults in korea, workers chronic disease risk factors have been growing every year, these are closely related to oral health. thus, through the study of the relationship between workers oral health behavior and chronic disease risk factors. Methods. The subjects were 4,600 workers volunteering at the oral health education program part of the industrial health education of some area work places. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square test, Rogistic regression analysis. Results. The results of chronic disease risk factor according to oral health practice behaviors show that currently drinking and smoking, not visiting to the dentist for last year, fewer toothbrushing were associated with chronic disease risk factors. This result was statistically significant as well.(p<0.05). Risk factors influencing chronic disease were gender, age, job period, dental clinic visiting, the number of toothbrushing, perceived oral health state, smoking, and drinking, these were statistically significant as well(p<0.05). Conclusions. Chronic disease that could threaten workers health was related with the oral health practice behavior. Therefore through factors identification affecting general health and oral health, dental care providers aims to increase workers awareness of health care behavior and lifestyle and to suggest periodical health education promotion program for high risk workers who exposed to risk factors of disease within workplace.
