Abstract

This study was performed to compare the status of oral care knowledge, oral care practice, and the patterns of the oral health care utilization before and during the pregnancy. It was conducted on the basis of a survey of 291 pregnant women who were in 9 post-natal care centers for post-natal care after delivery located in Daegu Metropolitan city and Changwon city of Gyeongsangnam-do from April 1st till April 29th on 2010. Forty five percent of them were experienced with the gum bleeding before pregnancy and 55.7% were experienced during pregnancy. The number of average tooth brushing per day was 3.05 times before pregnancy and 2.99 times during pregnancy in the survey. The patients who were experienced in dental health care during pregnancy out of the subjects for study were 51 for 17.5%. The score for the dental health knowledge was 7.82 for 10 grade scale and 5.38 before pregnancy and 5.14 during pregnancy for 10 grade scale in the actual performance scoring for dental care. Pre-dental care, experience in activity restriction due to dental disease, concern about oral health and regular visit to dental clinic were significant associated with use of dental care services during pregnancy.

이 연구는 임산부의 임신 전과 임신기간 중의 구강건강관리에 대한 실태와 지식, 실천행위, 구강건강신념 및 치과의료이용 양상을 비교분석하여 임산부의 구강질환 예방과 건강한 구강건강관리 행태를 개선하기 위한 교육프로그램 개발에 그 목적을 두고 시행되었으며, 2010년 4월 1일부터 4월 29일까지 대구광역시와 경상남도 창원시에 소재한 9개 산후조리원에서 출산 후 산후조리를 하고 있는 산모 291명을 최종 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 잇몸출혈 경험여부에서 임신 전 잇몸출혈이 있는 경우가 45.0%이었고, 임신 중의 잇몸출혈 경험률이 55.7%였다. 2. 대상자의 평균 잇솔질 횟수는 임신 전은 3.05회이고, 임신 중에는 2.99회 였다. 3. 연구대상자 중에서 임신기간 중 치과치료 경험이 있는 사람이 17.5%였다. 4. 구강건강지식 점수는 10점 만점에 7.82점 이었고, 구강건강 실천행위점수는 10점 만점에 임신 전은 5.38점, 임신 중에는 5.14점 이었다. 5. 치과의료이용과의 관련성을 분석한 결과 임신 전 사전구강관리(p<0.01), 구강질환에 의한 활동제약 경험(p<0.01), 구강건강관심도(p<0.05), 단골치과 유무(p<0.01)등이 치과의료이용과 유의한 관련성이 있었다. 이상의 연구결과를 볼 때 임신기간 중의 구강건강관리 행태는 임신 전보다 구강건강관리 실천율이 낮았음을 알 수 있다. 임산부의 구강건강관리에 대한 잘못된 지식을 교정하고, 임신 중 구강보건 교육이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
