Objectives: The objectives of this study were to assess oral health knowledge and behavior levels of community pharmacists as a step toward projecting them to play the role of oral health partners and to confirm pharmacists' willingness to participate in oral health education programs. Methods: t-test and one-way analysis of variance were performed to analyze the data, and correlation analysis was also performed. Results: The mean score for pharmacists' oral health knowledge was 7.29 out of 10. Of the 12 questions asked, the correct answer rate was highest for the question about the effect of smoking cessation on periodontal disease prevention; conversely, the correct answer rate was lowest for the question about the effect of taking medication for gingival infections on periodontal disease prevention. The mean score for pharmacists' oral health behavior was 2.97 out of 4 points. Of all oral health behaviors, brushing twice a day was the most practiced, whereas immediately visiting a dentist in case of an oral health issue was the least practiced.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to propose a standardized guideline for clinical training courses among dental hygiene departments of colleges in Korea. This study comparatively evaluated periods and durations of the curricula and specific domains, credits and hours of clinical training classes, and institutions providing practical lessons, and calculated the total credits and hours. Methods: From August 15 to September 15, 2017, a literature review was conducted in dental hygiene departments of 82 schools around the country in order to investigate the current conditions of clinical training in each educational system. Furthermore, 5 colleges were selected from each type of educational system, and their credits and hours for clinical training were analyzed in subjects of practical training for clinical dental hygiene, practical training for dental clinic, practical training for local community dental health, clinical training, and pre-clinical level practical training. The total credits and hours were calculated on the basis of analysis results. Results: The findings revealed that the hours of clinical training classes and hours per credit for practical training in the dental hygiene departments as well as the practical training institutions varied between the colleges. In some cases, the hours of practical training were not indicated. Standardized clinical training in the dental hygiene department was allotted 675 hours, whereas practical training in local community dental health studies was allotted 105 hours, which totaled to 780 allotted hours. Conclusions: There was a significant difference among the colleges in terms of the current conditions of clinical training in the dental hygiene department. The literature review revealed that a total of 780 hours was allotted to clinical training, and this was significantly more than the standard (500 hours) set by the.

본 연구는 취약계층 아동의 구강건강증진과 구강건강생활 실천 활성화를 위해 일부 지역사회의 보건소와 지역사회 내 치위생학과 및 지역아동센터를 바른 구강건강생활 실천 을 도모할 수 있는 협의체로 구성하여 운영한 계속구강건강관리 프로그램이 취약계층 아동들의 구강건강관련 행동에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 구강건강증진 프로그램 운영 전 고학년에 비해 저학년의 구강보건지식 수준이 낮은 것으로 나타났고(p<0.05), 이는 프로그램 운영 후에서 동일한 양상을 나타냈다(p<0.05). 또한 프로그램 운영 후 저학년과 고학년 구강보건지식 수준이 증가하였고, 이는 통계적으로 유의하였다(p<0.001). 2. 구강건강증진 프로그램 운영 전후 구강보건인식 변화를 비교한 결과, '내가 무엇을 하든지 치아우식증은 생길 것이다'에 대한 인식은 프로그램 운영 전후 모두 긍정적인 태도가 높았다(p<0.05). 3. 탄산음료 섭취 비율은 프로그램 운영 전 저학년과 고학년은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으며(p<0.05), 과자섭취 비율은 저학년의 경우 프로그램 운영 후 먹지 않는 비율이 높아졌고, 고학년의 경우 주 1~2회 먹는 비율이 다소 증가하였다(p<0.05). 4. PHP index의 변화는 프로그램 전에는 저학년에 비해 고학년이 치면세균막 관리 능력이 우수하였으나(p<0.05), 프로그램 운영 후에는 학년별의 차이가 없이 모든 학년에서 관리능력이 향상되었다(p<0.001). 이상의 결과로 볼 때 지역사회 협의체를 통한 구강건강증진 프로그램 운영 전후 구강보건지식, 인식, 행동의 변화가 긍정적으로 변화하였으므로 취약계층 아동의 구강건강생활을 실천을 도모할 수 있도록 지역사회 내 다양한 자원과 연계하여 지역사회 자원을 적극적으로 활용해야 할 것이며, 다양한 자원의 적극적인 지지가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
