초록
본 연구는 일부 농어촌 지역인 경상북도 포항에 거주하는 대학생을 대상으로 구강위생용품에 대한 인지와 사용실태에 대한 조사를 통해 구강건강을 향상시킬 수 있는 동기를 부여하고, 구강보건교육의 필요성을 제시해 체계적인 국가 구강보건사업정책을 수행할 수 있는 기초자료를 마련하고자 실시하였다. 연구 기간은 2025년 3월부터 6월까지 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였고, 조사방법은 집합조사와 배포조사, 우편발송을 이용하여 배부 및 회수하였으며, 387부를 최종 분석하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS/Win 25.0을 사용하여 일반적 특성, 구강위생용품 사용실태, 구강위생용품 사용 이유는 반도분석을 실시하였고, 일반적 특성에 따른 구강위생용품 인식여부, 구강위생용품 사용, 구강위생용품 사용이유, 구강위생용품 필요성은 x2-검정을 실시하였다. 성별은 여자가 많았고, 학제는 3년제가 많았으며, 학년별 분포는 1학년이 높은 비율을 차지하였다. 구강위생용품 인식여부에서 인지는 치실 207명(53.5%), 치간칫솔 238명(61.4%)으로 높았고, 비인지는 구강세정기 251명(64.9%), 이쑤시개 246명(63.6%), 구강양치액 265명(68.5%), 전동칫솔 240명(62.1%), 기타 345명(89.2%)으로 높았다. 구강위생용품 사용 이유는 본인 필요성에 의해서가 171명(44.2%)으로 높았고, 치과의사의 권유 87명(22.5%), 기타 70명(18.1%), 치과위생사의 권유 27명(6.9%), 주위의 권유 17명(4.4%), 광고 15명(3.9%)순이었다. 구강위생용품 인식여부에서 남자는 치간칫솔이 48명(33.2%)으로 높았고, 여자는 치실이 72명(29.3%)으로 높았으며, 3년제는 치간칫솔이 69명(31.8%)으로 높았고, 4년제는 치실이 57명(33.1%)으로 높았다. 구강위생용품 사용에서 3년제와 4년제는 치간칫솔이 76명(35.2%), 39명(22.8%)으로 높았고, 1학년, 2학년, 4학년은 치간칫솔이 34명(26.5%), 34명(39.5%), 32명(32.9%)으로 높았으며, 3학년은 치실이 24명(31.6%)으로 높았다. 구강위생용품 사용이유는 학제와 학년 모두 스스로 필요성이 가장 높았고, 구강위생용품 필요성에서 남자는 그렇다가 95명(67.0%)으로 높았고, 여자는 그렇다가 214명(87.3%)으로 높았다. 이상의 결과 대학생들의 구강질환을 예방하기 위해 구강상태에 적합한 구강위생관리용품의 올바른 지식과 사용방법에 대한 교육의 기회를 넓히고, 적극적인 교육과 함께 체계적이고, 대중적인 구강보건교육 프로그램의 개발과 시행, 홍보를 통해 구강건강 향상에 기여해야 할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 대학생들의 구강건강증진을 위해 구강관리용품의 휴대를 권장하는 등의 실질적인 구강보건활동에 대한 홍보사업이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
Abstract
This study was conducted to motivate university students living in Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, some rural areas, to improve their oral health through surveys on the perception and use of oral hygiene products, and to provide basic data to implement systematic national oral health project policies by suggesting the necessity of oral health education. During the study period, a self-institutional survey was conducted from March to June 2025, and the survey method was distributed and collected using collective surveys, distribution surveys, and mail-in, and 387 copies were finally analyzed. For data analysis, SPSS/Win 25.0 was used to conduct a penumbral analysis on general characteristics, the actual use of oral hygiene products, and the reasons for using oral hygiene products according to general characteristics, and x2-test was conducted on whether oral hygiene products were recognized, the use of oral hygiene products, the reason for using oral hygiene products, and the need for oral hygiene products. In terms of gender, women were more common, the three-year school system was more common, and the first grade accounted for a high proportion of the distribution by grade. In terms of recognition of oral hygiene products, recognition was high with 207 dental floss(53.5%) and 238 interdental toothbrushes(61.4%), while non-recognition was high with 251 dental flossers(64.9%), 246 toothpicks(63.6%), 265 oral toothbrushes(68.5%), 240 electric toothbrushes(62.1%), and 345 others(89.2%). The reason for using oral hygiene products was high with 171 people(44.2%), followed by 87 people(22.5%) recommended by dentists, 70 others(18.1%), 27 people(6.9%) recommended by dental hygienists, 17 people(4.4%) recommended by people around them, and 15 people(3.9%) recommended advertisements. In terms of recognition of oral hygiene products, men had interdental toothbrushes as high as 48 people(33.2%), women had dental floss as 72 people(29.3%), women had interdental toothbrushes as high as 69 people(31.8%), and four-year dental floss as 57 people(33.1%). In the use of oral hygiene products, interdental toothbrushes were high with 76 people (35.2%), 39 people(22.8%), and first, second, and fourth graders had high dental floss as 34 people(26.5%), 34 people(39.5%), and 32 people(32.9%), and third graders had high dental floss as 24 people(31.6%). The reason for the use of oral hygiene products was that the need for oral hygiene products was the highest in both school and grade, and the need for oral hygiene products was high in men with 95(67.0%), and women with 214(87.3%). As a result of the above, in order to prevent oral diseases of college students, it is necessary to expand opportunities for education on the correct knowledge and use of oral hygiene products suitable for oral conditions, and contribute to the improvement of oral health through the development, implementation, and promotion of systematic and popular oral health education programs along with active education. In addition, it is considered necessary to promote practical oral health activities such as recommending the carrying of oral care products to promote the oral health of college students.
