Abstract

The purpose of this study is to figure out and establish the basic data that can help improve management of oral healthcare for the international marriage migrantwomen. In this sense, we surveyed questions on 237 women out of 1,300 immigrant women, who have participated the program in operation by multi-cultural household supporting center, in a fashion of face-to-face investigation and on-the-spot direct cavity inspection simultaneously from May 1th to October 31th, 2010. Collected data were electro-statistically computerized under SPSS 17.0 program and analyzed with frequency analysis, recurrence analysis and logistic regression analysis respectively. Foundings were revealed as follows; On the nationality base, show the data in the ratio of 38.8% for Vietnamese, 29.1% for Philippine, 12.2% for Chinese and 6.8% for Japanese respectively. Current oral cavity status shows in the ratio of 60% with carious tooth symptoms, 40% without carious tooth symptom. Philippine women have irregular sets of tooth in many a case. (i.e., in short of numbers of teeth, due to removing individual tooth.) Japanese ladies are indicated to have less irregular sets of tooth, in comparison with that of the other immigrants from overseas. And lastly, high-income immigrant women in general were found having less numbers of unhealthy sets of tooth. Getting older, it appears that decayed tooth symptom is on the tendency of getting less in the field of dentistry circles. Immigrant ladies living with husbands under higher education background usually are found living a life in the less ratio of having toothache. A full-time immigrant housewives, however, are living everyday life in more times of suffering with tooth disease.

본 연구는 국제 결혼 이주여성들의 구강건강 상태를 파악하여 국제 결혼 이주여성의 구강 건강을 향상시키는데 도움을 주기 위한 기초연구이다. 국제결혼 이주여성 약 1,300명 중 다문화가정 지원센터에서 운영하는 프로그램에 참여하는 국제결혼 이주여성 237명을 대상으로 직접 면접 조사방식으로 설문에 응답하게 한 후 일반 과 직접구강검사법을 이용하여 2010년 5월 1일부터 10월 31일까지 조사하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 17.0 프로그램을 이용하여 전산통계 처리하였으며, 분석방법은 빈도분석 회귀분석, 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용하였다. 결과는 첫째, '국적'을 보면 '베트남' 38.8%, '필리핀' 29.1%, '중국' 12.2%, '일본' 6.8%, 이었으며 '현재의 구강상태'는 '우식치아'가 있는 경우 60%, '우식증이 없는 경우' 40%로 조사되었다. 필리핀 국적의 국제결혼 이주여성들이 결손치아가 많은 것으로 나타났고, 일본 국적의 국제결혼 이주여성들은 여타 국적의 국제결혼 이주여성들에 비해 결손치아 수가 더 적은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 월 소득이 높은 국제결혼 이주여성들일수록 결손치아 수가 적은 것으로 조사되었다. '나이가 많을수록 우식치아의 숫자는 적어지고 있는 경향을 확인해볼 수 있었다. 남편 학력이 높은 국제결혼 이주여성들일수록 치주질환이 없을 확률이 높은 것으로 나타났고, 전업주부인 국제결혼 이주여성들일수록 치주질환을 가지고 있을 확률이 높은 것으로 조사되었다.
