Oral health management is vital for pregnant women and their fetuses. This study analyzed the factors affecting maternal oral health status. It used secondary data obtained from the 2019 Korean Community Health Survey. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 for complex descriptive statistics, independent t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. Multiple regression analysis revealed that age (β = -0.01, < .001), maternal characteristics (β = -0.10, < 0.001), education (β = -0.06, = 014), subjective health status (β = 0.27, < .001, sleep duration (β = 0.07, = .003), breakfast frequency (β = -0.16, < 0.001), unmet dental care needs (β = 0.35, < 0.001), and depression (β = -0.02, < 0.001) are key factors of maternal oral health status. Furthermore, oral health status is associated with mental health factors, such as depression. Therefore, the importance of maternal oral health among pregnant and breastfeeding women must be highlighted to promote the health of mothers and their babies.
口腔健康管理对孕妇及其胎儿至关重要。本研究分析了影响孕产妇口腔健康状况的因素。它使用了从2019年韩国社区健康调查中获得的二手数据。使用SPSS 21.0对数据进行复杂描述性统计、独立样本t检验、皮尔逊相关系数和多元回归分析。多元回归分析显示,年龄(β = -0.01,P <.001)、孕产妇特征(β = -0.10,P < 0.001)、教育程度(β = -0.06,P = 014)、主观健康状况(β = 0.27,P <.001)、睡眠时间(β = 0.07,P =.003)、早餐频率(β = -0.16,P < 0.001)、未满足的牙科护理需求(β = 0.35,P < 0.001)和抑郁(β = -0.02,P < 0.001)是孕产妇口腔健康状况的关键因素。此外,口腔健康状况与抑郁等心理健康因素相关。因此,必须强调怀孕和哺乳期妇女的孕产妇口腔健康的重要性,以促进母亲及其婴儿的健康。
