摘要

本研究針對不同城鄉地區學童的口腔衛生行為作探討。為橫斷面研究，採分層集束隨機抽樣調查法。對象為高雄縣國小991位1-6年級的學童及其家長。研究結果發現在回收的問卷中，市區有80.74%的人一天至少刷牙兩次，以早上起床後和晚上睡覺前刷牙者最多佔55.24%。山地則以早晨起床後刷牙(36.50%)及刷牙次數一次(44.16%)最多。在使用氟化物的習慣方面；有使用氟化物習慣的學童以山地最少(79.56%)。使用含氟漱口水頻率每週一次的以鄉鎮最多有85.44%，山地最少有62.41%。受訪者中看過牙醫的比例高達95.76%。在山地有46.35%的人，倘若有齲齒的徵兆時，會去看牙醫，但也只是在牙痛的時候才會去。每3-6個月會定期作口腔檢查的學童以市區最高有26.63%。研究發現在口腔保健的習慣上，因為城鄉的不同，有很明顯的變化，大部分口腔照護習慣，在市區比鄉鎮及山地頻繁。

To survey possible differences in dental health behaviors of primary school children between urban and rural areas in Kaohsiung County, 991 children in grades 1 to 6 in x elementary schools participated in this study. They were sampled using a stratified cluster sampling design and with a probability proportional to size. In the urban area, 80.74% of students cleaned their teeth twice a day, with most students (55.24%) cleaning their teeth both in the early morning and before sleeping. In an aboriginal area, 36.50% and 44.16% of students cleaned their teeth in the morning and before sleeping, respectively. In the usage behavior of fluoride supplements, students in the aboriginal area used them the least (79.56%). In the rural area, most (85.44%) of the students used 0.2% NaF fluoride once a week as a part of a mouth rinse program. Aboriginal students used it the least (62.41%). Students in the urban area had the highest frequency (26.63%) of visiting a dentist every 3~6 months. The frequencies of the oral health care behaviors of the urban students were higher than those of rural and aboriginal students.
