Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the subjective awareness of smoker patients about the preparation of smoking cessation plans in an effort to lay the foundation for smoking cessation policy setting. The subjects were the selected patients at a dental clinic. A self-administered survey was conducted to grasp their personal characteristics, and the selected answer sheets from 236 respondents were analyzed. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. As for the extension of existing smoking cessation plans, the largest group (32.6%) preferred smoking cessation education, followed by smoking cessation counseling (28.8%), prescription of an smoking cessation aid (18.6%). 2. Concerning the necessity of a smoking cessation law, the men and the women respectively gave 2.37 and 3.00 to that, and the gender gap was significant. The patients had a significantly different opinion on the necessity of a rise in tobacco price according to their occupation and monthly mean household income, and their took a significantly different view of the necessity of smoking cessation counseling according to their residential area. 3. As a result of analyzing the correlation between their on effective smoking cessation policies and the related variables, all the variables had a statistically significant correlation to each other. 4. As a result of analyzing their opinions on what institution should be in charge of smoking cessation plans, the biggest group answered that dental clinics should be responsible for smoking cessation-aid prescription (50.0%), and the largest group replied that smoking cessation education and smoking cessation counseling should respectively be provided by public dental clinics (37.3%) and dental clinics (44.1%).The above-mentioned findings suggest that the preparation of new smoking cessation measures and the extension of existing smoking cessation plans are urgently required, and that dentists and dental hygienists should make a concerted effort to offer counseling and education to stimulate dental patients to abstain from smoking.

본 연구는 흡연환자들의 효과적인 금연정책에 대한 의견을 알아보고 향후 금연에 관한 정책적인 방안을 마련하는데 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 치과에 내원한 환자를 대상으로 시행하였다. 개인의 특성을 파악하기 위해 자기기입식방법으로 설문을 실시하였으며, 그 중 최종적으로 채택된 236부를 자료로 분석하였다. 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론은 얻었다. 1. 효과적인 금연정책 중 금연교육이 32.6%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 금연상담은 28.8%, 금연보조제 처방 18.6%, 금연에 관한 법 12.3%, 담뱃값 인상 7.6%의 순으로 조사되었다. 2. 금연법 필요성은 남자 2.37, 여자 3.00으로 성별에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 담뱃값 인상의 필요성은 직업과 월평균 가게수입에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 금연상담 필요성은 거주지에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 서울 2.93, 인천 2.90, 경기 2.88의 순으로 조사되었다. 3. 효과적인 금연정책주관자에 대한 인식을 분석한 결과 금연보조제 처방, 금연교육, 금연상담 모두 금연 상담사가 해야 한다는 응답이 가장 높게 조사되었다. 4. 효과적인 금연정책 주관 기관에 대한 인식을 분석한 결과는 금연보조제 처방은 치과가 해야 한다는 응답이 50.0%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 금연교육은 보건소가 37.3%, 금연상담은 치과가 44.1%로 가장 높게 조사되었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 효과적인 금연정책 마련과 확대가 시급하며, 치과에 내원한 환자들의 금연을 위해 치과의사와 치과위생사가 더욱 더 적극적으로 상담과 교육 등에 노력을 기울여야 할 것으로 보인다.
