Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of oral exercise on oral function and denture satisfaction of the elderly using dentures. Methods: The study was conducted with targets of the elderly in the 13 senior community centers in Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do from September 2013 to April 2014. The study subjects were divided into two groups, the intervention group provided with 8 week oral exercise program and the control group without exercise. The data on oral function, denture satisfaction and oral health related quality of life (OHIP-14) were analyzed among the 79 subjects from the intervention group and the 71 subjects from the control group. Results: For oral function, salivary flow rate, mouth opening, pronunciation and salty taste were significantly improved in the intervention group (p<0.01). There were significant differences in salivary flow rate, mouth opening, pronunciation and salty taste between the two groups (p<0.01). For denture satisfaction, there were significant differences in masticatory function, fixing function, general treatment satisfaction and total denture satisfaction between the two groups (p<0.05). There were significant differences between the two groups in the total points of oral health related quality of life. Conclusion: Oral exercise was effective in improving oral function and denture satisfaction of the elderly using dentures. To improve oral health related quality of life of the elderly further researches and programs will be necessary.

이 연구는 구강기능향상운동을 통한 의치사용 노인들의 구강기능의 향상과 의치만족도 및 구강건강관련 삶의 질과의 관련성을 파악하고자 2013년 9월부터 2014년 4월까지 경상북도 청송군 관내 경로당 13개소에서 실시되었다. 구강기능향상운동 프로그램 실시군 79명과 미실시군 71명을 대상으로 구강기능, 의치만족도, 구강건강관련 삶의 질(OHIP-14)을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 구강기능은 실험군에서 타액분비량이 사전보다 사후에 $1.53m{\ell}$ 유의하게 증가하였고(p<0.001), 개구량은 사전보다 사후에 0.33 cm 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.01). 또한 발음은 사전보다 사후에 6.91회 유의하게 증가하였고(p<0.001), 미각 기능도 0.52점 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<0.001), 실험군과 대조군의 타액분비량, 개구량, 발음의 개선 정도 및 미각의 두 군 간 변화량은 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.01). 의치만족도는 실험군에서 고정기능 만족도가 사전에 비해 사후에 0.32점 유의하게 증가하였고(p<0.01), 일반적 치료 만족도는 사전에 비해 사후에 0.26점 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<0.01). 의치만족도 총점은 사전에 비해 사후에 0.22점 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.01). 실험군과 대조군의 저작기능 만족도, 고정기능 만족도, 일반적 치료만족도, 의치만족도 총점은 두 군 간의 변화량이 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 구강건강관련 삶의 질은 사회적 불리와 구강건강관련 삶의 질의 총점에 있어서 두 군 간의 변화량에 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05) 이상의 연구결과로 구강기능향상운동이 의치사용 노인의 구강기능 개선과 의치만족도를 높이는데 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였으며, 향후 노인들의 구강건강관련 삶의 질을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안들이 모색될 필요가 있다.
