Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the smoking-related characteristics of health and non-health related majors and the relationship between the smoking dependence and oral health practice of college students. The subjects in this study were the college students who were selected by convenience sampling from four different universities in the city of Jeonju, North Jeolla Province. The answer sheets from 811 respondents were analyzed. The findings of the study were as follows: The rate of the smoker students whose major was related to health stood at 20.6 percent, and that of the smoker students whose major was not related to health stood at 29.4%. There were significant differences according to the track of their major (p<0.05). As for links between smoking dependence and a plan to quit smoking, 32.7% of the health-related majors who considered themselves to depend on smoking replied they would give up smoking if there would be a rise in cigarette price (p<0.005), and 37% of the nonhealth related majors who considered themselves to depend on smoking gave the same answer. Thus, the largest group of the students intended to quit smoking if there would be a rise in cigarette price, and there were statistically significant differences according to smoking dependence (p<0.05). Concerning connections between smoking dependence and actual oral health practice, the non-health related majors who didn't consider themselves to depend on smoking got 3.53 in the item whether they brushed their teeth twice or more a day (p<0.05). In conclusion, the development and implementation of systematic programs that are to teach students to stay away from or quit smoking and take care of their oral health regardless of their major are required to step up the oral health promotion of college students.

본 연구는 보건계열과 비보건계열 대학생의 흡연관련 특성과 흡연의존도에 따른 구강건강실천을 분석하기 위해 2012년 9월 3일부터 10월 20일까지 전라북도 전주시에 위치한 4개의 대학교의 1, 2, 3, 4학년 학생을 대상으로 편의표본추출법에 의한 자기기입식의 설문조사를 실시하여 811명의 설문지를 최종 분석에 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 12.0 프로그램을 이용하여 통계분석을 실시하였으며 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 보건계열에서 흡연하는 학생은 20.6%였으며, 비보건계열에서 흡연하는 학생은 29.4%였고, 전공계열에 따라 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<0.05). 흡연을 처음 시작한 시기는 보건계열(41.7%)과 비보건계열(47.0%)에서 고등학교가 가장 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 흡연의존도에 따른 금연계획은 보건계열에서는 흡연의존도가 '그렇다'라고 응답한 군에서 '담뱃값이 인상되면 금연하겠다'에 대하여 32.7%(p<0.005), 비보건계열에서는 37.0%로 가장 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 흡연의존도에 따른 구강건강실천에 대하여 비보건계열에서는 흡연의존도가 '그렇지 않다'라고 응답한 군에서 '하루에 잇솔질을 2회 이상 한다'가 3.53점으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 결론적으로 전공계열 구분 없이 흡연예방과 금연교육 및 구강건강실천으로 구강건강을 유지와 증진시킬 수 있는 체계화된 프로그램 개발과 적용이 필요하다고 생각된다.
