Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of physical health on oral health in university staff and the mediating effect of stress on their relationship. As for the research method, a questionnaire survey was conducted from June 15 to June 30, 2021 for some university staff in the Seoul area. As research tools, general characteristics, somatic symptoms, oral symptoms, and perceived stress were investigated. For the analysis method, Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation between physical symptoms, stress, and oral symptoms, and regression analysis was used to verify the mediating effect. As a result, somatic symptoms, stress, and oral symptoms all showed a positive correlation. Also, somatic symptoms were found to have an effect on oral symptoms, and stress had a partially mediating effect on the relationship between somatic symptoms and oral symptoms: somatic symptoms directly affect oral symptoms, and stress directly and indirectly affects oral symptoms. In conclusion, institutional measures are needed to reduce the work stress of the university staff, and regular oral health education to promote oral health should be expanded.

본 연구 목적은 교직원들의 신체 건강이 구강건강에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 이들 간의 관계에서 스트레스의 매개 효과를 살펴보고자 한다. 연구 방법은 2021년 6월 15일부터 6월 30일까지 서울지역 일부 대학교 교직원을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구 도구로는 일반적인 특성, 신체 증상, 구강 증상, 인지된 스트레스를 조사하였다. 연구 분석 방법은 신체 증상, 스트레스, 구강 증상 간의 상관성을 알아보기 위한 피어슨 상관분석을 실시하였고, 매개효과 검증을 위한 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 연구 결과 신체 증상, 스트레스와 구강 증상 모두 양의 상관성을 나타냈다. 또한 신체증상이 구강 증상에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 신체 증상이 구강 증상에 미치는 관계에 대한 스트레스는 부분 매개 효과를 나타냈다. 신체 증상이 구강 증상에 직접적인 영향을 미치며, 스트레스는 구강증상에 직·간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 교직원들의 업무 스트레스를 줄이기 위한 제도적 방안이 필요하며, 구강건강 증진을 위한 정기적인 구강보건교육이 확대되길 기대한다.
