Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of parents' oral health management behavior towards children on children's oral health. Methods: Dental examination were done to 82 children, and a survey was conducted to 82 parents of them. This researcher conducted multiple regression analysis to figure out how parents' oral health management behavior towards their children influences their oral health condition. Results: Among the kinds of parents' oral health management behavior towards their children, when they received a lower score in guidance for dietary control, children tended to have more dt index. Among the kinds of parents' oral health management behavior towards their children, guidance for tooth brushing and guidance for oral care influenced their children's O'leary index. When they received a higher score in guidance for tooth brushing and guidance for oral care, their children's O'leary index became lower. Conclusions: This study has found that parents' dietary guidance provided to children influences their dt index, and O'leary index, one of the major causes of dental caries, is influenced by parents' guidance for tooth-brushing and guidance for oral care. Therefore, we should realize that according to the degree of parents' interest in children's oral care, children's state of oral health can be changed, and parents should acquire proper knowledge about oral health and instruct and train their children desirably.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of oral health education experience on needs for oral health education in children and adolescents in elementary and secondary schools. A self-administered survey was conducted on the students in elementary, middle and high schools located in the city of Mokpo, South Jeolla Province, from October 1 to 31, 2018. The data that were collected from 327 students were analyzed by SPSS 21.0. Statistical data on frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation were obtained, and t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis were carried out. The findings of the study were as follows: First, the subjects got 2.25 on a three-point scale in self-rated oral health status. This score was above average, which indicated that the students thought they were in good oral health. As for problems with oral health, dental caries was given the highest score of 2.48 on a five-point scale, followed by oral malodor with 2.35. Second, the students who experienced oral health education accounted for 69.1 percent, and the students who felt the need for this education represented 82.6 percent. As for educational content desired, the biggest group of 57.8 percent hoped to learn about how to prevent and manage dental caries, and the second largest group of 17 percent wanted to learn about how to take care of oral health during orthodontic treatment. Third, as a result of investigating the state of oral health education by the grade of school, the elementary school students had more oral health education experience than the middle and high school students, and the middle school students placed the most importance on the necessity of oral health education. The differences were statistically significant. Fourth, as a result of analyzing the correlation between oral health education experience and the necessity of oral health education, the students who had more oral health education experience asked more for this education, which implies that there was a statistically significant positive correlation. The findings of the study ascertained that oral health education should be provided for students in childhood and adolescence to boost the level of their oral health knowledge and change their oral health attitude in a positive manner. If oral health practice programs that connect schools, local communities and families with one another are developed to guide the oral health behaviors of teenagers in the right direction, it will make a contribution to the promotion of oral health.

본 연구는 충남 A시 보건소 방문보건팀에 등록된 방문건강사업 대상 노인 300명을 대상으로 구강건강 관련 삶의 질과 관련 요인을 조사하여 취약계층 노인들의 삶의 질 향상과 구강건강을 유지, 증진시키기 위한 지역사회 프로그램개발을 위한 기초자료로 제공하고자 연구되었으며 그 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 방문건강사업 대상 노인의 평균 연령은 77.1세였고, 평균 잔존 치아 수는 12.7개, 주관적 건강인지도 평균은 2.27, 일상생활점수 평균은 7.39로 나타났으며 대상자의 91.0%가 1개 이상의 만성질환을 가지고 있었다. GOHAI 점수의 평균은 37.36으로 나타났으며 점수가 낮았던 문항은 구강상태에 행복한 경험이 없음, 걱정이 있음, 단단한 음식을 씹을 때 문제가 있음의 순이었다. 구강보건행태에 따른 GOHAI의 관계는 점심식사 후 칫솔질, 구강위생용품 사용, 무자격자에 의한 진료경험, 구강검진, 스케일링 경험에서는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았으나, 미 충족 치과진료 여부는 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.001). GOHAI의 총점에서는 잔존 치아수(p<0.001)와 나이에서 유의미한 차이가 있었으며 하위요인에서는 남성이 통증과 불편요인에서 점수가 높았고(p<0.05), 74세 이하에서 기능제한요인의 점수가 높았다(p<0.01) 잔존 치아 수에서는 통증과 불편요인을 제외한 모든 요인에서 유의미한 차이가 있었다(p<0.001). GOHAI에 영향을 미치는 요인은 연령(p<0.05), 잔존 치아수(p<0.001), 주관적 건강 인지도(p<0.001)로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과에 따르면 방문건강사업 대상 노인의 구강건강평가지수 점수는 낮은 편이며 연령, 치아수, 주관적 건강 인지도와 연관성이 부분적으로 확인되었기에, 방문건강대상 노인의 구강건강관련 삶의 질을 높이기 위해 치아기능 회복을 위한 보철물 제작 등 틀니 지원 확대를 위한 국가 재원 외에 지방자치단체 예산을 확보할 필요가 있으며, 장착된 의치 관리 및 구강건강증진과 관련된 프로그램이 지속적으로 개발될 필요성이 있다.
