Abstract

This study was carried out to provide basic data for improving oral health management plans by identifying the actual conditions of dental treatment use and criteria for selecting dental medical institutions for foreign students. The survey method was a survey of 145 foreign students at S University, and the collected data was conducted with the SPSS 24.0 program. As a result of the analysis, dental caries treatment was the most common among all nationalities in the dental experience. When the oral health education program was important, the will to use dental treatment in the future was positive. Therefore, in the future, it is required to revitalize oral health education programs and provide health care information for foreign students.

본 연구의 목적은 외국인 유학생을 대상으로 치과진료 이용실태 및 치과의료기관 선택기준을 파악하여 이들의 치과의료 이용에 대한 문제점을 파악하고 구강건강관리 방안을 개선하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 연구방법은 S 대학교 외국인 유학생 145명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 24.0 프로그램(SPSS Inc. Chicago. IL, USA)을 이용하여 기술통계, 교차분석 및 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 치과진료경험에서 일본, 중국, 말레이시아, 기타 유학생 모두 치아우식치료가 가장 많았으며, 건강보험에 가입자는 35.9%에 불과하였다. 치과의료기관 선택기준의 문항별 평균점수는 구강보건교육 프로그램의 제공이 가장 많았으며, 구강보건교육 프로그램이 중요한 경우에 향후 치과진료이용의 의지가 긍정적이었다. 따라서 향후에는 외국인 유학생들을 위한 구강보건교육 프로그램 활성화 및 보건의료 정보제공이 요구된다.
