초록

국내 3대 만성질환 가운데 하나인 치아우식증 인지실태를 조사하고 인지실태 향상 방안을 제시하여 구강질환 예방에 필요한 기초자료를 제공한다. 치과병원에 치과진료를 위하여 내원한 20대 이상의 성인 남녀 390명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 응답이 누락된 설문지를 제외한 총 336부를 분석에 사용하였다. 치아우식증에 대하여 들어본 적이 없는 사람이 많았고, 대부분이 인지를 못하고 있었다. 치아우식증 정보경로는 치과이었고, 치과에서 정보를 얻은 사람이 다른 경로를 통하여 얻은 사람과 비교하여 정확히 인지하고 있는 것으로 나타났다(p=0.008). 치아우식증 인지에 영향을 미치는 요인분석을 위한 단변량로지스틱 회귀분석 결과, 20대는 40대 이상보다, 전문직은 기타보다, 구강상태 매우 건강은 매우 나쁨보다 치아우식증을 정확히 인지할 가능성[OR(95%CI)]이 각각 2.06(1.16-3.66)(p=0.000), 5.49(2.52-11.93)(p=0.000), 6.40(1.57-26.03)(p=0.002)으로 나타났다. 치아우식증 예방을 위해 20대 이상, 전문직 이외 직종, 직장보험 이외 의료보장 가입자, 구강상태가 나쁜 사람을 대상으로 치과 전문가를 통한 교육이 필요하다.

This study aims at examining the actual condition of recognition of dental caries(ACRDC), presenting a scheme to improve the recognition, and providing basic data necessary to prevent oral diseases, Dental caries(DC) which one of the three most important chronic diseases in Korea. A survey was conducted on ACRDC for about 390 people twenty and over who visited dental clinics for dental treatment 336 questionnaires with exception of omitted answer were used for statistical analysis. Many of them had never heard of DC and most of them failed to recognize it. People who experienced DC had a dental clinic as a main information channel and they were significant differences in those obtaining information through other channels(p=0.008). Univariate logistic regression analysis for effects on ACRDC demonstrated that possibility of subjects in their twenties recognizing DC more accurately than those in their forties Odds ratio(95% confidence Interval) was 2.06(1.16-3.66)(p=0.000), with the possibility of professionals recognizing the disease more accurately than those with other kinds of occupation 5.49(2.52-11.93)(p=0.000), showing statistically significant relevance. As for medical security, possibility of work insurance being related to more accurate recognition of dental caries than others was 1.95 (1.03-3.71)(p=0.003), with the possibility of subjects whose dental state was very good recognizing dental caries more accurately than those whose dental state was very bad 6.40(1.57-26.03) (p=0.002), showing statistically significant relevance. For prevention of DC, an education through experts working at a dental clinic are necessary for those in their twenties and over, who were other than professionals, who were insured for medical security via other than work insurance, and whose dental state was bad.
