Abstract

The purpose of this study was to look into the perception, experience, treatment of early childhood caries (ECC) and influential factors of perception in order to provide basic data useful for preventing the ECC by examining the relationship between oral health of young children in infancy and mother. In this study, 277 mothers were surveyed who had children in children under 6 years old and visiting the pediatrics, day care center, and pediatric dental clinics located in Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do from July 10, 2013 to September 5 of the same year. The results obtained from the survey were analyzed through chi-square test, t-test, and binary logistic regression analysis by using the SPSS 18.0, a statistical program. The results of analysis showed that ECC in children under 6 years old was associated with mother's age, education background of mothers, number of children and monthly income and had a significant correlation with mother's oral health-related knowledge and oral health care of their children. Thus, it would be necessary to develop oral health education programs and implement such oral health education programs at a national level on a regular basis for the mothers of young children in infancy and would-be mothers in order to reduce the ECC in infancy and promote oral health.

연구는 2013년 7월 10일부터 9월 5일까지 대구 경북에 소재하고 있는 소아과, 어린이집, 소아치과에 내원하는 만 6세 이하 자녀를 둔 부모 277명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 어머니의 일반적 특성에 따른 유아기우식증의 차이에서 유아기우식증 인지는 전문대졸 이상의 경우 유의하게 높았고(p<0.01), 유아기우식증 경험은 연령이 35세 이상과 자녀가 2명 이상인 경우 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.05), 유아기 우식증 치료경험은 35세 이상(p<0.05), 자녀가 2명 이상인 경우(p<0.05), 월 소득이 300만원 이상(p<0.01)일 때 유의하게 높았다. 유아기우식증과 어머니의 구강보건지식의 차이를 비교분석한 결과, 구강보건지식 평균은 18.90점이었고, 유아기 우식증을 인지하는 경우 구강보건지식 점수가 19.48점으로 하지 않는 경우의 17.88점보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.001). 유아기우식증 인지 유무에 영향을 미치는 요인은 학력과 구강보건지식으로 어머니의 학력과 구강보건지식이 높은 군이 유아기우식증 인지가 높았고, 유아기우식증 경험유무에 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강상태확인과 불소치약 사용 및 물로 헹굼으로 구강상태를 확인하지 않고 물로 헹구지 않으며, 불소치약을 사용하는 군이 유아기우식증 경험이 높았으며, 유아기우식증 치료경험에 영향을 미치는 요인은 월 소득, 구강상태확인, 불소치약 사용, 물로 헹굼, 예방치과처치로 월소득이 낮고 구강상태를 확인하지 않으며, 물로 헹구지 않는 군과 불소치약을 사용하고 예방치과처치를 하는 군이 치료경험이 높았다. 이상의 결과로 6세 이하 어린이의 유아기우식증은 어머니의 연령, 학력, 자녀수, 월수입과 관련이 있고, 어머니의 구강보건지식 및 자녀의 구강건강 실천 사이와도 유의한 상관성이 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 어린이의 유아기우식증을 줄이고 구강건강 증진을 위해 유아기 자녀의 어머니와 예비어머니인 임산부를 대상으로 국가적인 차원의 실천 가능한 다양한 구강보건교육 프로그램의 개발과 지속적인 홍보 및 교육이 필요하며, 구강보건교육을 담당하고 있는 치과위생사의 인식과 이들이 체계적인 교육을 실시할 수 있도록 제도적 장치 마련이 필요하다.
