다문화가족 어린이와 일반가족 어린이의 구강건강상태를 비교하고 다문화가족 어머니와 일반가족 어머니의 자녀에게 행하는 구강건강행동을 비교하는 한편, 어머니의 사회적 특성, 구강건강행동과 자녀의 구강건강상태 사이의 관련성을 밝혀 다문화가족 어머니와 어린이의 구강건강증진을 위한 프로그램을 구축하는데 필요한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 전라북도 익산시 인근 시, 군 지역 다문화가족지원센터 한국사회적응교육에 참여한 다문화가족 어머니와 그 자녀 132쌍, 그리고 익산시내 2개소 유치원 원아와 어머니 131쌍을 대상으로 조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 다문화가족 어린이의 우식경험유치지수(dft index)는 4.17개로 일반가족 어린이의 2.69개보다 높았고, 다문화가족 어린이의 우식경험유치면지수(dfs index)는 6.67면으로 일반가족 어린이의 4.63면에 비해 높게 나타났다($p$ <0.05). 2. 다문화가족 어린이들의 하루 평균 칫솔질 횟수는 2.32회로 일반가족 어린이들의 2.73회에 비해 적었다($p$ <0.01). 다문화가족 어린이에서 하루 평균 칫솔질 횟수가 증가할수록 우식 발생이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다($p$ <0.01). 3. 다문화가족 어머니가 일반가족 어머니에 비해 자녀의 구강질병예방을 위해 어머니가 자녀에게 행하는 구강건강행동(칫솔질 지도, 구강건강 중요성 교육, 당분 섭취의 제한, 치과 방문)을 적게 실천했다($p$ <0.01). 자녀의 구강질병 예방을 위해 어머니가 자녀에게 행하는 구강건강행동은 어린이의 우식경험과 통계학적으로 유의한 관련성이 없었다($p$ >0.05).

This study was conducted to prevent oral disease of primary school, middle school, and high school students, providing basic data for the development of oral health education programs. Data were collected from 898 primary school, middle school, and high school students from March 2, 1999 to May 31, 1999. The results of this study are summarized as follows; 1) The subjects of this study were primary school students(32.6%), middle school students(33.0%), and high school students(34.4%). Boy students were slightly more prevalent than girl students. That is, primary school boys were 56.3%, middle school boys were 53.2%, and high school boys were 52.6%. 2) According to the self-judgement of oral health, primary school students were better than middle/high school students and boy students were better than girl students, 63.5% of primary school students and 57.8% of middle/high school students brushed their teeth once or twice a day. 3) 76.3% of middle/high school students and 63.5% of primary school students experienced dental caries. Girl students were higher than boy students in experiencing dental caries, 35.9% of primary school students and 27.6% of middle/high school students experienced periodontal disease. 4) 22.9% of primary school students and 7.9% of middle/high school students received oral examinations periodically. Girl students showed a higher rate than boy students in primary school, while boy students showed a higher rate than girl students in middle/high school. 5) Explaining to the reasons for reluctant visits to dental hospitals and clinics, 'no time to go' was highest(22.9% of primary school students; 27.4% of middle/high school students) and the rate of 'feeling scared' was second highest. Middle/high school students were more reluctant to visit dental hospitals and clinics than primary school students. In case of problematic symptoms in the mouth, the rate of 'feeling painful or cold in teeth when eating cold or hot foods' was highest, 71.3% of primary school students was concerned about oral health, while 68.6% of middle/high school students was concerned about it. 6) In gathering to the sources of information on oral health, the rate of medical institutions was highest(30.0%) in primary school students, while the rate of family members or persons around them was highest in middle/high school students. 7) 54.9% of primary school students received oral health education, while 13.1% of middle/high school students received it. Only 4.7% of middle school and high school girls received it. In relation to dental health education, the rate of 'possibility of prevention of oral caries or disease of the gum' was highest. 79.5% of primary school students and 80.3% of middle school students answered that they would attend oral health education. 8) 60.4% of primary school students and 60.2% of middle/high school students think the purpose of oral health is to prevent dental caries and disease of the gums. In preventing dental caries, 78.8% of primary school students and 71.8% of middle school students thought that periodical oral examination was effective, 88.4% of primary school students and 88.8% of middle/high school thought that brushing one's teeth was effective and 64.1% of primary school students and 50.7% of middle school students thought that the use of toothpaste containing fluoride was effective. In preventing periodontal disease, 91.1% of primary school students and 90.2% of middle/high school students thought that brushing one's teeth was effective, while 72.4% of primary school students and 70.3% of middle/high school students thought that teeth cleaning was effective. 9) 16.0% of middle school students and 12.7% of high school students thought that their oral health condition was healthy. According to individual experiences in dental treatment, the rate of experience of middle school students was higher than that of high school students, 12.7% of middle school students received oral examinations periodically, while only 3.3% of high school students did so. 10) In cases of 'having no problematic symptoms in the mouth' and 'concerns about oral health', the rate of middle school students was higher than that of high school students. In gathering obtaining information on oral health, the rate of obtaining it through broadcast media including TV, Radio, etc. was highest in middle school students, while the rate of obtaining it through family members or persons around them was highest in high school students. 11) 81.7% of middle school students have not received oral health education. In case of girl students, 97.3% have not received it in high school students. 85.6% of middle school students and 151.2% of high school students think that oral health education is necessary. 12) According to the knowledge level of oral health, the point of high school students($26.33{\pm}2.33$) was similar to the point of high school students($26.23{\pm}2.30$). It appeared that the point of primary school students was highest($26.35{\pm}2.50$) The more concerned about oral health the students were the higher the knowledge level of oral health was. In conclusion, the middle/high school students' knowledge level of oral health was lower than primary school students. The rate of middle/high School students' experience in oral health education was too low. Therefore, it is necessary to intensify oral health education for middle/high school students. Especially, the necessity of oral health education to girl students is strongly recommended. Developing an oral health education program for primary school, middle school, and high school students, related public authority and organizations, teachers; and dentists must actively make efforts together in order to maintain healthy teeth through having students prevent dental caries and periodontal disease.
