Abstract

Purpose: Recently, smoking cessation treatment at dental clinic can be covered by national health insurance. The aim of this study is to evaluate the awareness on the health insurance coverage for smoking cessation treatment in dentistry. Materials and Methods: The survey was carried out on 100 new patients of the patients in Dankook Dental Hospital from March to April 2015. The Questionnaire consists of 18 items. Results: The results show that many of patients expect positive effects of the treatment but most of the respondents were not aware of the initiation of health insurance coverage smoking cessation treatment in dentistry. Conclusion: The government and ministry of health should pay more attention to the promotion of the smoking cessation treatment in dentistry.

목적: 최근 들어 치과에서의 금연치료가 국민건강보험의 적용을 받게 되었다. 하지만 이에 관한 대국민 홍보나 국민들의 인식은 충분하지 못할 것으로 예상된다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 치과 금연치료의 국민건강보험 적용에 관한 환자의 인식도 및 의식 수준에 관하여 조사해 보았다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 실험은 설문조사를 통하여 이루어졌으며, 2015년 3월에 단국대학교 치과대학 부속 치과병원에 내원한 100명을 대상으로 하였으며 18개의 문항의 설문지를 개발하여 시행하였다. 결과: 설문 결과 응답자의 많은 수는 치과 금연치료에 관해 긍정적인 반응을 보였으나, 정책의 시행 사실이나 내용에 관한 지식 및 인식이 상당히 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 정부와 보건복지부 당국은 새로 시행된 이번 정책의 효율성을 높이기 위해 보다 많은 홍보 활동 등의 노력이 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.
