Thus, the following conclusions were obtained. 1. As for subjects' self-perception of halitosis, the perception status of oral health was indicated to be 'very bad' and to be shown most highly in one place. It was indicated to be high in the group of feeling Xerostomia much and the group of often feeling the white membrane of tongue. The statistically significant difference was shown(p<0.01). 2. Subjects' self-perception of halitosis was indicated to be the highest in the group with the largest intake of snacks.

본 연구는 대학생들의 구강위생상태와 구취자각의 연관성을 파악하여 대학생들의 올바른 구강위생관리 습관 및 태도의 변화를 유도하고 구강건강을 향상시키기 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 실시하였다. 자료 조사는 2019년 9월 23일부터 2019년 12월 6일까지 대전 K대학교 치위생학과에 실습을 위해 방문한 참여자 중 23세 이하의 대학생 322명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 치아부착물 정도는 B등급, 구강환경관리능력지수는 '보통', 설태량은 '양호'가 가장 높게 나타났으며, 구취자각과 관련성이 높은 요인은 설태량과 치아부착물 등급과 학년으로 나타났다. 또한 구강위생상태와 구취자각은 서로 연관성이 있었으며, 구강위생상태가 구취자각에 중요한 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 대학생들의 구강건강 삶의 질이 향상될 수 있도록 흥미롭고, 실천 가능한 구강건강관리 프로그램 개발과 홍보방안 마련이 적극적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 소방공무원들의 구취자각 유무를 파악하고 구취에 관련된 요인을 알아보기 위하여 대전지역 소방공무원 241명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 흡연량과 음주량이 높은 경우 구취를 더 자각하고 있었고 전신질환을 가진 경우 구취를 모두 자각하고 있었으며 스트레스가 심할수록 구취를 더 자각하고 있었다. 둘째, 잇솔질 3회 집단, 잇솔질 시간 1~2분 집단, 혀닦기를 안하는 집단, 구강보건교육경험 없는 집단이 구취를 가장 높게 자각하고 있었다. 셋째, 설태량이 '많음', 음식이 '잘낌', 건조감을 '느낌' 집단에서 다른 집단들에 비해 구취를 더 자각하고 있었다. 넷째, 구취자각 유무에 관련된 요인을 확인한 결과 연령, 설태량, 건조감이 구취 자각 유무에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 한국 소방공무원의 구취자각 유무 실태와 관련요인에 대해 파악할 수 있었고 소방공무원들의 구취예방과 구강증상을 해결하기 위한 프로그램의 개발과 올바른 구강건강관리를 위한 교육의 필요성이 강조되었다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study to provide preliminary data to effective halitosis control. Methods : A survey was carried out the self-perception of causative factors of halitosis in 98 female college students in Chungnam province. In addition, the levels of oral gas and breath gas were measured by use of the B&B checker, and an analysis was made of the correlation between halitosis and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Results : 1. Subjective halitosis awareness degree different degree of dryness, 'None', 'some', 'little' people who feel as the 'little fly' (68%), 78.3%, 70% was higher (p<0.05), halitosis interest 'very worried', 'worry', 'normal' person with a' not at all 'to 58.3% higher (p<0.01). 2. In regard to OCD severity, 49.0%, 34.7% and 16.3% were found to be mild, moderate and severe respectively. Halitosis tended to be severe in proportion to OCD severity, which was statistically significant (p<0.05). 3. Oral gas had a positively correlation with breath gas (r=0.329, p<0.01), but had a negative one with OCD severity (r=0.204, p<0.05). Conclusions : Symptoms of oral dryness and halitosis interest were associated with self-perception of halitosis. The levels of oral gas and breath gas were in inverse proportion to OCD severity. Hereat, it needs to analyze psychogenic factors properly as regards the diagnosis or treatment of halitosis.

본 연구는 수도권에 거주하는 서비스직 아르바이트 중인 대학생 150명, 비서비스직인 대학생 150명을 대상으로 2018년 4월 26일부터 5월 5일까지 자가구취인식도가 구강보건관리실천도에 미치는 영향력 알아보고자 설문조사를 실시한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 서비스직군에서 칫솔질을 하는 목적은 '충치와 잇몸병 예방'과 '구취' 항목이 주를 이룬 반면, 비서비스직군에서는 '충치와 잇몸병 예방'과 '상쾌한 기분' 항목에 가장 많은 응답을 한 것으로 나타났다(x²=18.21, p<0.001). 2. 서비스직군과 비서비스직군 모두에서 구취의 원인은 백태와 음식물이 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다(x²=10.95, p=0.027). 3. 서비스직 유무에 따른 자가구취인식도와 구강보건관리실천도의 평균분석에 따르면, 서비스직군에서 모든값이 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.001). 4. 자가구취인식과 구강보건관리실천도는 음의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다(γ=-0.11, p<0.05). 5. 성별과 학년을 보정한 회귀분석모델에서, 자가구취인식도가 한 단위 증가하면 구강보건관리실천도는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다(Beta=-0.185, p=0.02). 이상과 같이 서비스직 유무에 따른 아르바이트 종사자 대학생을 대상으로 자가구취인식도가 구강보건관리 실천도에 미치는 영향을 확인해 본 결과, 서비스직 아르바이트에 종사하는 대학생의 자가구취인식도가 높을수록 구강보건관리실천도에 미치는 영향이 증가하는 것을 근거로 서비스직 종사자의 구강건강향상 및 증진을 위한 구강건강 프로그램 및 홍보등의 체계적인 개입이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
