Objectives: This study aims to investigate degree of scaling fear (Fear when scaling: FWS, Fear from dental hygienist unbelief: FFDHU, and Fear after scaling: FAS) in college students. Methods: 113 students were recruited for the study in Daegu Health College between March and June of 2017. Frequency table of general characteristics was generated, and then the t-test and ANOVA (scheffes's post hoct) were used to analyze the differences between scaling fear and two or three groups of variables. Results: Mean scores of scaling fear in 113 students were 2.24 (FWS), 1.76 (FFDHU), and 1.76 (FAS). Score 2.48 of female's scaling fear (FWS) was significantly higher than men's 2.02 (p<0.05). Smokers who have smoked less than 3 years (2.56) (FWS) were lower than those who have smoked over 3 years (1.55) (p<0.01). Score of students want the explanation of scaling when scaling (1.94) (FWS) were significantly higher than those who does not (1.59) (p<0.05). Conclusions: The findings of this study showed that there were gender and smoking periods when scaling to effect a score of scaling fear.

이번 연구는 치위생학과 교육과정에서 이론과 실습으로 구성된 효과적인 치과의료커뮤니케이션의 교육과정을 개발하기 위한 목적으로 운영되었으며, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. '관계 형성하기', '대화 열기', '정보 수집하기', '상대방의 시각 이해하기', '정보 공유하기', '의견일치 보기', '마무리짓기' 등 7가지 평가항목에서 교육 전보다 교육 후 모든 점수가 상승되었다. 이 중 '정보 수집하기'의 자가평가 수준은 수업 후 통계적으로 유의한 변화가 있었다(p=0.008). 치과의료커뮤니케이션 수업에 참여한 학생들은 교과목에 대한 중요성과 필요성에 대해 수업운영 전보다 후에 높게 인식하는 것으로 조사되었는데, '치과의료커뮤니케이션 수업은 치과위생사의 전문성을 키우는 데 중요하다고 생각하나요', '치과의료커뮤니케이션 수업이 교육과정에서 필요하다고 생각하나요' 라는 항목에서는 수업 전후 각각 통계적 유의한 차이를 보였다(p=0.019, p=0.016). 이러한 결과로 볼 때 치과위생사에게 필요한 핵심역량인 치과의료커뮤니케이션 역량을 향상시킬 수 있는 교육과정은 치위생(학) 교육과정으로 반드시 포함되어야 한다. 치과의료커뮤니케이션 역량은 교육과 학습을 통해 계발 및 향상될 수 있다. 따라서 치과의료현장에서 필요한 치과의료커뮤니케이션 요소들을 보다 구체적으로 정리하고, 이론 교육만이 아닌 실습 교육을 포함한 체계적이고, 학년 간 연계 가능한 교육과정의 개발이 시급한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 연구 대상자 수를 늘리고, 자가수준의 평가가 아닌 학생들의 커뮤니케이션 역량을 객관적으로 측정할 수 있는 평가도구 개발과 표준화된 치과의료커뮤니케이션 교육과정이 필요할 것으로 본다.

Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between obesity and dental caries of Korean adolescents. Methods: Data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES VI) (2013 to 2015) were used and targeted adolescents aged 13 to 18 years. For statistical analysis, the SPSS 18.0 program was used, and the significance level was set at 0.05. Results: For the general and health-related characteristics, female students (p=0.001) showed higher decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index than male students. Furthermore, DMFT showed higher tendency, as age was higher (p<0.001). Smoking (p=0.011) and drinking experience (p=0.027) revealed higher DMFT. The dental caries experience was significantly different among students who were female (p=0.033), older (p=0.001), and overweight or underweight (p=0.022). In the BMI for the general and health-related characteristics, male students had higher obesity rate than female students (p=0.003), and obese subjects had higher dental checkup in the last year (p=0.013). In multiple linear regression analysis of obesity and DMFT, the unadjusted model showed that the obesity group's DMFT was about 0.8 higher than that of the normal group (p=0.024). However, statistical significance was not shown in the adjusted models. In the logistic regression analysis of obesity and dental caries experience, the unadjusted model 1 (1.93 times), the adjusted model 2 (1.79 times), and model 3 (1.76 times) showed significantly higher dental caries experience. Conclusions: Both obesity and dental caries are related to diet habits and lifestyles and have a negative impact on adult health. Therefore, it is necessary to create a healthy social environment around the adolescent, and proper intervention through education is required to form healthy habits.
