Objectives: The objective of the study was to investigate the related factors of non-utilization of dental care among Korean adults. Methods: Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey 2012 was carried out in South Korea. A total of 5,589 adults were interviewed and examined. A multinominal logistic regression model was used to estimate the odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals for the non-utilization of dental care. Results: The non-utilization of dental care was shown to have a badly perceived oral health status, less toothbrushing before sleeping(OR=1.18: 95% CI=1.00-1.39), periodontitis symptoms (OR=1.82: 95% CI=1.50-2.22), toothache experience (OR=2.03: 95% CI=1.75-2.34), TMJ symptom experience (OR=3.31: 95% CI=2.74-3.99), speaking problem (OR=1.87: 95% CI=1.75-2.34) and a partial dentures needs (OR=2.49: 95% CI=1.93-3.19). Conclusions: The non-utilization of dental care tended to have badly perceived oral health status, less toothbrushing before sleeping, periodontitis, toothache experience, TMJ symptom experience, speaking problem, and partial dentures needs.

본 연구는 임신부의 구강건강상태와 구강건강행태에 따른 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 조사해 그 결과를 분석하였다. 본 연구는 2014년6월23일~7월30일까지 전라북도 일부지역 임신부 127명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 자료는 PASW Statistics 18.0을 사용하여 주요 측정변수에 대한 Shapiro-Wilk 정규성을 검정하였다. 대상자의 주관적 구강건강상태, 구강건강관심도는 임신기간에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 조사대상자의 46.5%가 자신이 '건강하다'고 느끼고 있으며 51.2%가 자신의 구강건강상태가 '건강하다'고 응답했고, 57.5%가 자신의 구강건강에 관심이 '있다'고 응답했다. 구강건강행태에 따른 삶의 질은 구강보건교육경험이 없는 경우, 칫솔질 횟수가 3회 이하인 경우, 정기적으로 검진을 받지 않은 경우, 치석제거 경험이 없는 경우 삶의 질이 낮게 나타났다. OHIP-14에 유의한 영향변수는 임신 기간이 길수록, 분만경험이 없고, 주관적 건강상태, 주관적 구강건강상태가 건강하지 않을수록 구강건강관련 삶의 질이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 임신부의 구강건강관련 삶의 질은 주관적으로 인지하는 구강건강 상태와 구강건강행태가 밀접한 연관이 있으므로 이를 개선하기 위한 구강보건교육 프로그램 개발이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the awareness-perception factors and oral health promotion behavior of dental hygiene and nonhealth-related students in an effort to find out factors affecting their oral health promotion behavior. Methods : The subjects in this study were students in the three-year-course dental hygiene and students in the two-year-course nonhealth-related department in G college located in the city of Gwangju. After a survey was conducted, the collected data were analyzed and compared. Results : 1. The dental hygiene students were statistically significantly ahead of the nonhealth-related students in perceived oral health knowledge(p<0.001), awareness of the importance of oral health(p<0.001), perceived oral health status(p<0.001) and oral health interest(p<0.001). 2. Concerning the characteristics of oral health promotion behavior, the dental hygiene students were statistically significantly better at toothbrushing(p<0.001) and the use of dental floss(p<0.001) than the nonhealth-related students. 3. Regarding factors affecting oral health promotion behavior, oral health knowledge and oral health interest were identified as the factors that impacted on oral health promotion behavior. Out of the two, oral health interest exercised a greater influence on that. Conclusions : It seems that oral health education could motivate students to be concerned about their oral health, to acquire knowledge on that and eventually to change their oral health behavior and attitude. As for college students, oral health education provides a final chance for them to check their oral health knowledge, attitude and oral health promotion behavior before they start to work as full-fledged adults, and institutional measures should be taken to offer more intensive official oral health education.

본 연구는 청소년을 대상으로 학습 목적 이외의 인터넷 사용시간을 파악하고, 인터넷 사용시간에 따른 주관적 상태를 파악하여 이들의 상호 관련성을 파악하고자 하였다. 2016년 청소년건강행태온라인조사를 이용하여 인터넷 사용시간에 따른 주관적 상태의 교차비와 95% 신뢰구간을 이분형로지스틱회귀분석을 통해 산출하였다. 주관적 건강인지와 주관적 구강건강인지에서는 학습 목적 이외의 인터넷사용을 하지 않는 경우에 비해 인터넷 사용시간이 길수록 주관적으로 불건강하다고 느끼는 경우에서의 각각의 교차비가 유의하게 증가하였다. 주관적 체형인지에서도 인터넷사용시간이 길수록 살이 찐 편이라고 느낄 교차비가 유의하게 증가하였다. 주관적 행복은 인터넷을 300분 이상 사용하는 경우 주관적으로 불행하다고 생각할 교차비가 1.19배(CI=1.10-1.30) 높게 나타났다. 학습 목적 이외의 장시간의 인터넷 사용이 청소년 건강과 행복에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 인터넷 사용에 대한 권장시간이 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

Background: Edentulism is associated with socioeconomic status, rural residence, and chronic disease, but no studies have investigated edentulism and residence factors together. All information that drives a better understanding of the factors related to edentulism plays an important role in the planning and delivery of appropriate dental services for the elderly by national and oral health professionals. This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of edentulism in adults aged over 60 years in Korea and to examine whether there are differences in dentate status between people living in urban and rural areas after controlling for sociodemographic and other related factors. Methods: The data for this study were collected from 2013 to 2015 as part of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey VI, those individuals aged over 60 years and who had complete datasets were included (5,071). The number of teeth and residence status were categorized into two groups: edentate and dentate (1 or more); urban and rural. Multiple multivariate logistic regression analyses were sequentially applied to assess the association between dentate status and residence status after adjusting for potential confounders. Results: Rural areas, lower household income, and lower education levels were associated with a higher edentate rate. The number of teeth was lower in rural areas than in urban areas. After adjusting for various factors, statistically significant associations were present for women, low household income, low education level, poor perceived health status, and alcohol consumption in participants. Conclusion: Elders living in rural areas had poorer oral health than elders living in urban areas. The government will need to provide effective systems for promoting oral health for elders living in rural areas.

Objectives : The purpose of our study was to examine the relationship of oral health status such as dental caries and the performance of dietary action guides with six items. Methods : Oral examination and self-administrated questionnaire were conducted on 87 disabled students, aged 6-19 who were attending special school in the area of the metropolitan Seoul. Two logistic regression models to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were used to investigate the association dental caries experience and the performance of dietary action guides after controlling for potential confounders. Results : The proportion of study subjects with caries were 37.9%, 26.9%(male) and 54.3%(female), respectively(p<0.05). There was significantly difference the subjects with caries and perceived oral health status(p<0.01). Among the dietary action guides items, skipping breakfast and not avoiding waste food were significantly higher in the proportion of subjects' caries(p<0.05, p<0.01, respectively). The avoiding waste food groups had more possibility of having caries significantly(p<0.05), even after controlling gender, and perceived oral health status. Conclusions : These results indicate that oral health promotion policy with dietary action guides should be strengthened for support of disabled student's dental health.

본 연구는 노인들을 대상으로 구강건강교육프로그램(노인구강지킴이)의 효율성을 분석하고자 안양지역 노인복지센터를 이용하는 노인 451명을 대상으로 보조기입식 설문조사를 구강건강 교육 전 후 2차례 실시하였으며 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 전체 조사대상자의 주관적 구강건강상태가 좋지 않다고 인식한 비율이 구강교육을 받기 전 약 53.0%이었으나, 구강교육을 받은 후에는 약 44.5%로 나타나 구강건강상태가 나쁘다고 인식한 비율은 8.5%가 감소하였으며 구강건강 상태가 좋다고 느끼는 비율은 약 4.8%가 증가한 것으로 응답하였다. 2. 구강건강행태를 비교한 결과 "잇솔질 횟수", "구강건강교육 실천"의 경우 65세 이하의 여성에서 "정기적 구강검진"의 경우 76세-85세의 남성에서 높게 나타났으며, 교육 후 각 구강건강행태 변화정도는 남성의 경우에 "잇솔질 횟수"항목에서 가장 높은 증가를 보인 것으로 나타났으며 86세 이상에서 구강건강행태의 모든 항목에서 변화가 높게 나타났다. 3. 조사대상 노인들에 대한 구강건강상태에 따른 구강증상 발현정도를 비교한 결과 전체적으로 구강건강이 나쁠수록 구강증상을 자주 경험하는 것으로 나타났으나 교육 후 주관적 구강건강이 "아주 나쁘다"고 응답한 경우에서 발현빈도가 가장 많이 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 4. 구강건강교육의 효율성과 관련하여 구강건강교육 전 후를 비교한 결과 구강건강교육을 받은 후 구강건강관리 행태에 대한 실천내용을 실생활에서 잘 이행하고 있으며 구강건강교육 및 자신이 느끼는 구강건강행태에 대한 만족정도는 증가하였으며, 구강증상 발현정도는 낮아진 것으로 나타났다. 노인들의 건강한 구강유지에 구강건강교육이 중요한 역할을 하는 것이라 판단되며 노인들의 양호한 구강건강상태의 유지를 위하여 다양한 연령층을 대상으로 효율적이고 예방적인 구강건강증진프로그램개발 및 지속적인 교육이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
