摘要

本研究旨在探討國小學童自覺口腔問題與影響日常生活表現相關因素。研究對象以高雄縣某公立國小三至六年級學童。每個年級隨機選出3個班級，其中男生210人，女生174人，針對每位研究對象進行口腔健康問卷調查。研究發現，在影響日常生活表現以吃東西影響最多(41.93%)，其次是刷牙/牙齒清潔(38.54%)，交朋友最少(9.64%)。在影響的頻率中，刷牙/牙齒清潔為「幾乎每天」影響日常生活表現最多；「每星期有一次」及「每月有一次」則以吃東西影響最多。男生以自覺口內流血問題影響七種日常生活表現有顯著相關性。女生則自覺口腔發炎紅腫問題影響四種日常生活表現居多。然而自覺牙齒不夠自問題在此階段雖然佔最多，但經過統計分析後發現與性別、年級與日常生活表現並無顯著相關。可能與目前電視媒體行銷牙齒美自廣告、樹立外觀形象的重要性有關。然而牙痛、口臭、口內流血、口腔發炎紅腫等問題仍是造成學童在日常生活相當多的影響。加上齲齒為此階段學童校園一大健康問題，進而導致相關口腔問題而影響日常生活表現。因此，生活品質的提昇應從小紮根，回歸口腔保健的預防。學校更應全面推動健康促進，將正確的口腔生活型態由個人、家庭拓展到整個社區。
