Abstract

The research had an investigation of relevance between functional oral health literacy, oral health knowledge, and oral health behaviors of college students. Survey of 410 students in K city college done from June 22 to 26, 2015 was analyzed, and the final analysis subject was 398 students. The result were 281(70.6) students with experience of oral health education, 117(29.4) students without experience of education, and there were 194(48.7) students who had difficulty several times with the material and explanation while attending the education, and 128(32.2) students who had difficulty a few times. Scores of functional oral health literacy were low for more than half of the college students. The higher the functional oral health literacy score, the higher oral health knowledge was shown, and oral health knowledge turned out to be affecting functional oral health literacy. Therefore, an effective program for delivering oral health knowledge to improve low functional oral health literacy of college students must be developed.

본 연구는 대학생을 대상으로 기능적 구강건강문해력과 구강보건지식 및 구강보건행태의 관련성을 조사하였다. K시 대학교에 재학 중인 학생 410명을 대상으로 2015년 6월 22일 부터 26일 까지 설문조사를 하였으며, 398명의 자료를 최종 분석 대상으로 하였다. 그 결과 구강보건교육을 받은 경험이 있는 학생은 281(70.6)명, 교육 받은 경험이 없는 학생은 117(29.4)명으로 나타났으며, 구강보건교육을 받을 때 교육 내용 및 설명이 여러 번 어려웠다는 학생은 194(48.7)명, 간혹 어려웠다는 128(32.2)명으로 나타났다. 기능적 구강건강문해력 점수는 절반 이상의 대학생이 낮게 나타났다. 기능적 구강건강문해력 점수가 높을수록 구강보건지식이 높게 나타나고, 구강보건지식이 기능적 구강건강문해력에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 대학생들의 낮은 기능적 구강건강문해력 향상을 위한 효과적인 구강보건지식 전달 프로그램이 개발되어야 한다.
