Out of a total of 230 questionnaires collected. A self-administered survey was conducted from April 1 to April 30, 2012. The data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0 (SPSS 19.0 K for window, SPSS Inc, USA) with the level of significance as 0.05. Results : 1. Most of the participants correctly answered questions on the oral health knowledge with a mean of 7.37 out of 9. 2. In the section of caring a child's oral health behavior, 'caring a child to brush his or her teeth three times a day' had the highest score of 3.45 out of 5. 3. Looking at caring a child's oral health behavior and a mother's oral health knowledge by general characteristics of mothers, there were no significant differences based on the mother's age, whether a mother is currently working or not, her level of education, and her monthly average income. Conclusions : Based on the above results, we can draw a conclusion that the lower the difference between the rate of correct answers and that of incorrect answers on mother's oral health knowledge to her child, the higher the mother's score of caring her child's oral health behavior, leading to better caring.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate oral health-related knowledge in adults and to determine the effect of oral health knowledge on correct brushing and use of dental care products. Methods: The subjects of this study were 552 adults who visited dental clinic, and a self-administered questionnaire was administered. Statistical analysis was performed using the t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression using the SPSS statistics program (ver. 23.0, IBM Co., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: The oral health knowledge level, correct brushing, and dental care product usage scores were found to be positively correlated (r=0.015, 0.016), and both correlation coefficients were statistically significant (p<0.05). Oral health knowledge was found to have a significant effect on correct brushing among oral health promotion behaviors (β=0.116, p=0.006), but it was not found to have a significant effect on the use of dental care products (β=0.053, p=0.214).

본 연구는 현재 군인들의 구강보건행태와 구강건강 삶의 질에 대한 관련성을 파악하고, 군인들을 대상으로 한 구강보건 교육을 실시함에 있어 근거 및 기초자료로 제공하고자 하였다. 총 400명의 서울 경기 지역의 군인을 대상으로 조사하여 361명의 수집된 데이터를 SPSS 19.0으로 통계 분석하였다. 그 결과, 군인들은 주관적 구강건강 상태는 보통이라고 느꼈으며, 구강보건 행동의 실천률은 높지 않았다. 주관적 구강건강 상태가 좋지 않다고 한사람은 구강건강관련 삶의 질이 좋지 않았다. 또한 군인들은 구강보건교육이 매우 필요하다고 느꼈으며, 주관적 구강건강 상태와 구강보건교육의 필요성은 정적인 상관관계가 있었다. 군인들의 신체적, 정신적, 사회적 건강이 구강건강과 연관되어 있으므로 군인들의 구강보건 교육은 정기적으로 이루어져야 할 것 으로 보이며, 본 연구 결과는 군인들의 구강 보건 교육의 기초자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
