Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine if self-rated oral health differed according to self-reported oral health behaviors in Korean adolescents. Methods: The raw data of 'The 6th Youth Health Behavior Online Survey' carried out by the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention were analysed. Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Logistic regression analysis were used to assess the relationships between oral health behaviors and self-rated oral health (n=73,238). Results:Oral health behaviors had stronger influence on daily toothbrushing habits. In particular, participants who brushed their teeth in the morning and participants who brushed their teeth more than 3 times a day were more likely to have good self-rated oral (P<0.001). Conclusions: Korean adolescents with high self-rated oral health reported practicing good oral health behaviors. These results highlight the need for the further practicable oral health education programs.

주관적 구강건강인식은 본인의 구강건강상태를 스스로 대답하도록 하는 방법으로 구강병의 질병부담에 대한 역학적 지표로서 혹은 치료필요나 치료결과의 지표로서 사용될 수 있다하겠다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 청소년을 편의추출하여 주관적 구강건강인식과 구강건강행동을 구성하는 요인을 찾아 연관성을 분석함으로 적절한 구강건강행동을 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 우리나라 청소년의 주관적 구강건강인식은 33.1%가 좋거나 매우 좋다고 응답한 반면 67.8%는 보통 또는 그 이하라고 응답하였고, 아침에 칫솔질을 실천 하는 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 2.6배 주관적 구강건강인식이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전체적으로 칫솔질 실천을 할 때가 실천하지 않았을 때보다 통계적으로 유의하게 주관적 구강건강인식이 좋았다(<0.001). 이는 구강보건 교육을 통해 자신의 구강건강 상태를 올바로 인지하고, 올바른 건강행동으로 실천하는 것이야 말로 예방적 교육의 목표라 할 수 있겠다. 따라서 적절한 학교 구강보건교육의 프로그램과 그 기회를 증가시킬 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다.
