摘要

本研究為了解雲林縣居民口腔保健行為，因此採分層多皆段集束抽樣調查，以結構式問卷對雲林四個鄉鎮418案進行抽樣調查，資料以JMP4.0版、SAS統計軟體進行分析；研究結果在口腔保健行為發現每天刷牙二次以上達71.77%，但有23.92之民眾只在斗上起床後刷一次，其中專科以上學歷有87.50%達每天刷牙二次以上，同時有30.865採用貝氏刷牙法、有38.045採用馮尼氏法、但以橫刷法為主佔71.77%，而18－34歲年輕人佔68.79%。62.92%居民刷牙經常超過三分鐘，居民有77.5%在進行後經常潄口的習慣。使用牙線習慣方面，以專科以上學歷者所佔比例最高有55.68%，而使用牙籤清潔口腔佔有55.02%，其中18－34歲年輕人佔61.85%、專科以上學歷者佔比例最高（52.27%）。平時有吃零食習慣者佔11.28%，口渴時主要選擇含糖飲料解渴者佔11.11%。整體而言，居民對口腔保健仍欠重視，故希望藉由本研究瞭解居民口腔保健行為之現況，引伸出雲林地區口腔衛生教育發展之方向以及迫切性，做為推廣口腔保健之參考。

The purpose of the study was to understand the residents' oral health care behaviors in Yunlin
County. A multi-stage, stratified cluster sampling was used in this study. A total of 418 subjects from four randomly chosen townships were interviewed with a structured questionnaire. Data analysis was performed by JMP 4.0 package.
The study results in the aspect of oral health care behaviors showed that 71.77% of the residents brushed their teeth twice or more everyday; about 23.92% of the subjects, however, brushed their teeth once only when they got up in the morning; approximately 87.50% of the subjects with junior college background or above brushed their teeth twice a day. As for tooth brushing method, there were 30.86% of the residents adopting Bass Brushing Method, 38.04% of the residents adopting Fones' Method, and 77.75% of the residents using Horizontal Scrub Method (which was adopted by 68.79% of the young people aged 18-34). As for the time of brushing, 62.92% of the residents usually brushed their teeth for more than three minutes, and 77.75% of the residents often rinsed their mouths after eating. Furthermore, the group of subjects with junior college education background or above had the highest percentage (55.68%) of using dental floss. On the other hand, about 55.02% of the 418 subjects, 61.85% of the young people aged 18-34 and 52.27% of the group with junior college education background (the highest percentage among other groups) used toothpicks for oral cleansing. In addition, about 11.28% of the participants had the habit to consume junk food and approximately 11.11% of the subjects chose sweetened beverages to quench their thirst.
In general, the residents were careless of their oral health care. Hence, by conducting this study to explore the current condition of the residents' oral health behaviors, we hope to both provide the direction of and expose the urgent need of the development of oral health education in Yunlin County, and to serve as reference for the promotion of oral health care.
