Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between oral dryness and stress and to collect baseline data for health promotion plan of college students. This research design is correlation study. Data of 835 were collected from May 2 to June 17, 2011, and analyzed using the SPSS PASW Statistics 18.0 Program. There was a statistical significant between oral dryness and perceived health status(p<.001). there were statistical significant in gender(p<.001), age(p<.001), grade(p<.01), major(p<.01), perceived health status(p<.001), exercise(p<.001), smoking(p<.001), drinking(p<.01) between general characteristics and stress. The mean score of oral dryness level was $12.89{\pm}10.15$ from 0 to 60 score range. Higher percentage in oral dryness action was "When I swallowing dry food, drink water or beverage"(48.7%). The mean score of stress was $7.17{\pm}4.78$ from 0 to 20 score range. Oral dryness level was positively related to stress(p<.01) and oral dryness action(p<.001). It is necessary to develop the educational program for health promotion of college students.

대학생들의 구강건조감과 스트레스 정도를 확인하고 그들의 관련성을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 본 연구를 시도하였다. 조사기간은 2011년 5월 2일부터 6월 17일까지 이었으며, D시와 C도에 위치한 3개 대학(교)에 재학 중인 대학생 835명을 대상으로 SPSS PASW Statistics 18.0 Program을 이용하여 분석한 상관성 조사연구이다. 대상자들의 인구학적 특성과 구강건조감 및 스트레스를 분석한 결과 구강건조감에서는 인지된 건강상태(p<.001)에서, 스트레스에서는 성별(p<.001), 연령(p<.001), 학년(p<.005), 전공(p<.005), 인지된 건강상태(p<.001), 운동(p<.001), 흡연 (p<.001), 음주(p<.01) 등 모든 변수에서 통계적 유의성이 나타났다. Scheffe 사후검정 결과 '건강하지 못하다'라고 응답한 대상자의 구강건조감 정도(p<.001)와 구강건조감에 따른 행동(p<.001) 및 스트레스(p<.001) 점수가 유의하게 높았다. 대상자들의 구강건조감 정도는 60점 만점에 평균 $12.89{\pm}10.15$점이었으며, 구강건조감에 따른 행동으로는 마른 음식물을 삼키기 위해 물이나 음료수를 가끔 마신다.'가 407명(48.7%)으로 가장 많았다. 일반정신건강 척도로 스트레스를 측정한 결과 20점 만점에 평균 $7.17{\pm}4.78$이었다. 또한, 스트레스와 구강건조감 정도 간에 유의한 양의 상관관계(p<.01)를, 구강건조감 정도와 구강건조감에 따른 행동 간에도 유의한 양의 상관관계(p<.001)를 보여 스트레스 점수가 높으면 구강건조감 정도를 많이 느끼고 이로 인해 구강건조감에 따른 행동이 많이 나타난다고 할 수 있다. 그러므로 대학생들의 신체적, 정신적 건강상태를 향상시키기 위한 교육 및 중재 프로그램의 개발과 적용이 필요하다.
