Abstract

The Ministry of Health and Welfare in Korea has enforced the oral health promotion program for elderly in Korea. There are the denture delivery program and the fluoride application-scaling program for elderly. Donggu Public Health Center in Daejeon has delivered the fluoride application-scaling program for elderly since the demonstration project in 2009. The official dental hygienists had a prior consultation with Dong-gu branch of Korean Senior Citizens Association in Daejeon. We expanded the program through government office, welfare centers, and nursing homes. The participants were satisfied with the public relations (95.2%), scaling (99.7%), fluoride application (91.5%), toothbrushing education (98.6%), and denture cleaning education (96.6%). After a medial accident with persistent bleeding, the pre-inspection survey about systemic disease and medication was reinforced. The official dental hygienists have agonized over the low participation of the low-income group and the overlap benefit with health insurance benefit of scaling. We suggested it be needed the assessment of the public oral health program to overlap with health insurance benefit.

본 사례보고는 대전 동구보건소에서 7년간 실시하고 있으며 매년 천 명 이상이 참가하는 노인 불소도포 스케일링 사업의 진행과 만족도, 논의사항 등을 보고하여 노인 구강보건사업 실행에 도움을 주고자 함이다. 2009년 시범사업은 대한노인회 대전동구지회와의 협의를 통해 각 경로당에 관련 공문을 보내고 신청 경로당에 직접 방문하거나 인근지역의 여러 경로당을 합하여 주민센터에서 사업을 진행하였으나 이후에는 경로당 중심 사업보다는 복지관이나 주민센터를 중심으로 진행하였다. 대전 동구치과의사회와 사전 협의 후 사업이 진행되었기 때문에 사업진행에 문제가 없었으나, 스케일링 후 지혈이 되지 않는 1건의 의료사고가 있었으며 이후로 지혈관련 전신질환이나 약물복용에 관한 사전 조사를 강화하였다. 2013년 본 사업에 대한 만족도 조사 동의자 355명 중 홍보 95.2%, 대기시간 73.2%, 스케일링 99.7%, 불소도포 91.5%, 틀니관리교육 96.6%, 칫솔질교육 98.6%가 만족한다고 하였다. 사업 참여 이유에 대한 구두대면조사 대상자 137명 중 44.9%는 무료라서, 12.5%는 치과에 가면 불필요한 치료를 받으라고 할까 봐 마음이 불편해서, 8.1%는 치과보다 제대로 치아관리를 해주는 것 같아서, 8.1%는 이동이 편리해서, 7.4%는 노인 우대를 잘 해주어서 등의 순으로 나타났다. 본 사업에 다시 참여하지 않겠다는 의견은 치과에 가서 하면 된다 1.5%, 다른 치료를 해주지 않는다 1.5%, 답변 거부 1.5% 등의 순으로 나타났다. 본 사업담당자의 의견은 사업의 지속적 참가자들의 구강환경관리 향상에 사업이 효율적이라 판단되나 농촌지역이나 취약계층 밀집지역의 경로당들은 사업 신청을 하지 않거나 신청인원 부족으로 사업의 효율성 때문에 배제되는 점, 스케일링의 보험급여화 이후 사업의 비용에 대한 고려가 필요하다고 하였다. 따라서, 취약계층을 사업에 포함하기 위한 방안 마련과 건강보험 급여화와 중복이 되는 보건소 사업에 대한 평가가 필요하다고 제안한다.
