Abstract

The purpose of the study are expected to provide some basic information on counseling, diagnosis and treatment planning for patients related to teeth care. A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 320 subjects in Seoul and Gyeonggi from May to August, 2015 after permission from Institutional Review Board (IRB). Except 18 copies, 302 data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 19.0 program. The questionnaire consisted of four questions of the general characteristics of the subjects, ten questions of the awareness toward of subjective teeth, five questions of the influence of teeth on appearance, and ten questions of self-esteem. The dependent variables made a 23.4% prediction of self-esteem. If they have higher education(p<0.001), influence of teeth on appearance(p<0.001) and the awareness toward of subjective teeth(p<0.001) had significant influence on self-esteem. The findings suggest that heightened subjective awareness toward teeth seems to be of use for the improvement of self-esteem. Therefore it's required to make an effort to take good care of teeth in terms of color or arrangement as well as oral health.

본 연구는 치아가 외모에 미치는 영향에 대한 인식 및 자신의 치아 만족도, 주관적인 치아에 대한 인식과 자아존중감에 대해 살펴보고, 이들의 관련성에 대해 조사함으로써 향후 치아 미용 관련 환자의 진료에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 2015년 5월부터 8월까지 서울 및 경기지역에 거주하는 일반인 320명의 자료를 수집하여 이중 응답이 미흡한 18부를 제외한 302(94.38%)부를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 적합된 회귀모형은 통계적으로 유의하였으며(p<0.001), 모형 설명력은 23.4%로 나타났으며, 선정된 독립변수 중 학력(대졸 이상)과 치아가 외모에 미치는 영향에 대한 인식, 주관적인 치아에 대한 인식은 자아존중감에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과 주관적인 치아에 대한 인식이 증가할수록 자아존중감을 향상되는 것으로 나타나 치과를 내원하는 환자들의 구강건강을 향상시킬 수 있도록 이와 관련된 구강보건교육을 시행하고, 치아의 색이나 배열 등을 개선할 수 있는 적극적인 의료서비스를 제공하여 자신감과 만족감을 더 고취시킬 수 있어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
