The purpose of this study was to provide information about the development of curricula geared toward improving the oral health of college students and of oral-health education programs in an effort to teach college students to be knowledgeable about oral health throughout their lives. The subjects in this study were 455 students at three different colleges in Gyeonggi province, on whom a survey was conducted. As for the basic oral health care of the college students investigated, 54.5 percent had ever visited a dental clinic over the last year, and 34.7 percent had their teeth scaled over the last year. Regarding self-awareness of current oral health state, 77 percent felt there s something wrong with their oral health. Concerning the correlation of their oral health behavior and knowledge to each selected variable, better internal and external locus of control led to better oral health promotion behaviors and better oral health knowledge. As to their self-perception of oral health and influential factors, better toothbrushing, better dietary habits and periodical oral examination, which belonged to oral health promotion behaviors, were followed by better oral health locus of control, and higher concern for oral health led to better oral health locus of control as well. Better toothbrushing, better dietary habits, periodical oral examination and better internal locus of control were concurrent with higher interest in oral health. Better external locus of control and stronger concern for oral health were accompanied by better oral health promotion behaviors.

본 연구의 목적은 원주시 W고등학교 3학년 학생의 주관적 구강관리인식과 관련된 융복합적 관련 요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 설문지 총 218부를 분석한 결과 주관적 구강관리인식도는 $3.59{\pm}0.44$ 이었고, 일반적 특성 중 종교, 패스트푸드 섭취횟수, 탄산음료 섭취횟수가 주관적 구강관리인식도와 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<.05). 입 냄새 제거를 위해 칫솔질을 한다와 타인에 대한 입냄새 인지정도가 주관적 구강관리인식과 관련성이 높았으며, 자신의 입 냄새에 대한 불편감을 느끼지 못하는 경우 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 그러므로 탄산음료나 패스트푸드와 같은 정크 푸드 섭취를 줄이고 칫솔질 횟수를 증가시켜 주관적 구강관리인식도를 높여줘야 할 것으로 나타났다. 또한 고등학생들에게도 구취관리에 대한 올바른 구강건강관리방법을 제시해주고 향후 연구에서도 구취 예방법에 대해서 연구하여야 할 것으로 사료되었다.
