Abstract

This study was carried out in order to be used as basic data in developing oral health program for adolescents hereafter by surveying which influence it has upon oral health knowledge and recognition depending on students' subjective oral health status targeting middle school students. First of all, examining about students' subjective oral health status, the 2nd graders accounted for 36.2% depending on school year, thereby having been indicated to be high in response as saying of being healthy in own teeth. It was indicated that the higher level of brushing teeth after lunch at school leads to the higher response as saying of being healthy in own teeth(p<0.05). The group with response as saying of healthy in own teeth was indicated to be higher in regularly visiting once or twice a year as the period of visiting dental clinic, and was indicated to be higher(p<0.001) in a visit for oral check-up even as for the aim of visiting dental clinic than other groups. Accordingly, the aim is to offer an opportunity of motivation that students will have interest in oral health, by carrying out continuously oral health education, and is also to increase knowledge and awareness level on oral health by allowing them to have positive attitude toward oral health.

본 연구는 중학생을 대상으로 학생들의 주관적인 구강건강상태에 따라 구강건강증진행위에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 조사하여 향후 청소년의 구강건강프로그램 개발에 기초자료로 사용하고자 2011년 3월 7일부터 2주간 중학생 1,100을 대상으로 본 연구를 실시하였다. 먼저 학생들의 주관적 구강건강상태에 대해 살펴보면 학년에 따라서는 2학년이 36.2%로 자신의 치아가 건강하다는 응답이 높게 나타났으며, 학교에서 점심식사 후 이를 닦는 정도가 높을 수록 자신의 치아가 건강하다는 응답이 높게 나타났으며(p<0.05), 자신의 치아가 건강하다고 응답한 집단은 치과에 가는 시기는 정기적으로 1년에 1~2번 간다가 타 집단보다 더 높게 나타났고, 치과 방문 목적 또한 구강검사를 위해 방문이 타 집단보다 더 높게 나타났다(p<0.001). 따라서 학생들에게 지속적인 구강보건교육을 실시하여 학생들이 구강건강에 관심을 가질 동기부여의 기회를 제공해 주고, 또한 구강건강에 대한 긍정적 태도가 가지게 함으로써 구강건강에 대한 구강건강에 대한 지식과 인식도를 높이고자 한다.
