Abstract
Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the association between stress, oral health knowledge, oral health behavior and oral health status among 6th grade primary school students in Gangneung city.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. The sample consisted of 643 students(341 male; 302 female). The data were collected from a self-reported questionnaire survey and from an oral examination approved by the Gangneung Office of Education. The questionnaire included information about stress, oral health knowledge, oral health behavior, oral symptoms and perceived oral health status. The presence of caries was investigated by a well-trained dentist. Data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U analysis.
Results: The level of stress among 6th grade primary school students was relatively low (1.85 out of 4). The level of stress was higher in students who had a lower frequency of brushing their teeth (p＜0.05), a high frequency of ingesting sweets and carbonated beverages (p＜0.01), experiences smoking (p＜0.01) and bad perceived oral health status (p＜0.001).
Conclusions: The level of stress in school children affect their oral health behavior and status. However, it is difficult to generalize from the results because of limitations of the study. Therefore, more extensive research is required to more completely explain the influence of stress on oral health behavior and status in school children.
