摘要

口腔疾病是人們最常見的疾病之一，它會影響我們的一生，引發疼痛、不適、缺陷，甚至死亡。世界衛生組織2016年針對疾病負荷的研究報告中指出，全球有將近一半的人口有齲齒的問題。導致牙齒脫落的嚴重牙周病估計是全球第11位最常見的疾病。然而牙周病多發生於成年人，加強潔牙習慣是最有效的預防方式。成人有1/3時間在職場，職場健康促進對於成人有非常重要的意義，而我國的職場健康促進於口腔衛生領域，仍有待落實推動與發展。本文主要論述職場護理師對口腔健康推動之經驗及建議，期待能提供職場衛生護理師對口腔健康推動之參考。

Oral diseases are the most common, non-communicable diseases that affect people over their lifetime. These diseases often cause pain, discomfort, and defects, and may even lead to death. The 2016 Global Burden of Disease Study estimated that oral diseases affect half of the world's population, with dental caries in permanent teeth being the most prevalent condition assessed. Severe periodontal disease, which may result in tooth loss, was estimated to be the 11th most prevalent disease globally. However, periodontal disease occurs mostly in adults, and strengthening tooth cleaning habits is the most effective method of prevention. Adults spend one-third of their time in the workplace. Thus, workplace health promotion is very important for adults. However, oral health promotion programs in Taiwan's workplace are scarce. This article examines the health promotion experiences and recommendations of occupational health nurses. The findings may provide a reference for occupational health nurses in general.
