Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the extent to which the teachers in disability welfare facilities are acquainted with the oral health knowledge. It was compiled by means of the self-administered questionnaire held out by 119 teachers in Gimhae and it conducted in August of 2010. Considered the score of 100 as all the precise answers, the total average score was 46.4(${\pm}18.0$). Moreover, the heterogeneity of the oral health knowledge among the respondents was revealed that it statistically does not have anything to do with the demographic characteristics. In conclusion, it is urgently required to develop the oral health education in forms of the continuing education, the online education, and the materials of the regular university curriculum - all for the teachers of the disability welfare facilities in Korea.

본 연구는 우리나라 일부지역 장애인 복지시설 교사의 구강보건지식을 알아 보기위해 수행되었다. 조사는 2010년 8월 실시하였으며, 김해시에 위치한 6개 장애인 복지시설 교사 119명을 대상으로 자기 기입식 설문조사를 시행하였다. 전체 문항을 바르게 인지하는 경우를 100점으로 하였을 때 전체 대상자의 구강보건지식도는 46.4(${\pm}18.0$)점이었다. 또한 인구사회학적 특성에 따른 지식도의 차이는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 결론적으로 우리나라 장애인 복지시설 교사들에서 보수교육을 통한 구강보건교육, 온라인 교육 및 대학 정규 교과과정 자료 개발이 이루어져야 하겠다.
