이번 연구는 서울에 거주하는 외국인 아동의 치과진료 현황 및 만족도를 설문을 통하여 조사하는 것으로, 국내 거주 외국인 아동에 대한 치과의료서비스의 확충 및 관련 제도의 개선을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하는 것이다. 이번 연구를 위한 설문지는 총 35개의 문항으로 구성되었으며, 그 중 14개 문항은 응답자의 국적을 포함한 인구통계학적 정보에 관한 문항이었고 나머지 21개 문항은 응답자의 구강 위생 관리 및 치과 경험에 관한 것이었다. 이번 연구에 참여한 총 391명 외국인 집단의 국적 분포는 현재 한국에 체류하는 외국인의 국적별 통계 실태를 반영하진 않았다. 이번 연구 참가자 중 18.9%가 아프리카 출신이었는데, 이는 북미 비율 (21.0%)과 비슷할 정도로 높았다. 또한 대학교 이상의 학력을 가진 보호자가 80% 이상으로 사회경제적 지위가 높은 외국인들이 연구 대상에 다수를 차지하는데 비해, 외국인 아동 및 보호자의 구강위생 및 우식 예방과 관련된 치과적 지식이 부족함이 나타났다. 한국에 오기 전과 후의 치과 경험율은 비슷하였다. 전반적인 만족도 검사에서 치과 치료의 질과 직원의 친절도 등에서는 높은 만족도를 보였으나, 언어 소통의 불편함과 진료비에 대한 부담이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이번 연구를 통하여 비교적 높은 사회경제적 지위의 한국 체류 외국인들도 자녀의 구강 건강에 대한 지식이 부족함을 알 수 있었다. 국내 거주 외국인 아동의 구강 건강을 증진시키고 치아 우식증을 예방하기 위하여 외국인 아동에 대한 영유아 치과 검진의 확대 및 구강 보건 교육이 필요할 것이다.

This study aims to investigate the utilization status of dental services by foreign children living in Seoul and their level of satisfaction with the treatments. We developed a structured questionnaire with 35 questions, which comprised 14 questions (demographic characteristics) and 21 questions (oral hygiene and dental experience of the child). In this study, the distribution of nationality of 391 participants differed from the actual statistics in Korea. It consisted of high percentage of participants from African countries (23.6%), as well as North American countries (24.1%). In addition, the education status of most parents was above the level of college graduate. Despite the relatively high socioeconomic status of the participants, they showed minimal dental health knowledge regarding the aspect of oral hygiene. Utilization of dental health services and the types of dental clinics visited by them were similar before and after coming to Korea. The participants showed overall satisfaction with the care, but many of them expressed the need for improvement with regard to treatment fee and communication. In conclusion, foreign children living in Seoul require appropriate dental health education and governmental support to promote regular dental check-ups, to improve their overall oral health, and prevent the incidence of dental caries.

대상 데이터
A total of 237 foreign parents (aged 39.7 ± 8.0 years, Male : Female = 1 : 2) participated in the survey.
This study has been conducted to assess the utilization status of pediatric dental services by foreign children, between September 20 and December 5, 2014. Data were collected randomly from foreign children aged 6 months to 14 years, who are living in Seoul. We used a structured questionnaire with written information about the study, as well as dental recommendations for children.
In the present study, 391 foreign children were included. As shown in Table 2, children aged of 0 - 5 years old were approximately 48.
Meanwhile, educating the parents of foreign children can be a cost-effective and practicable modality for preventing dental caries and maintaining good oral health. In this study, 86% of the group, that reported the frequency of tooth brushing as zero times per day, was comprised of infants and young children aged 0 - 5 years old. This demonstrates a lack of knowledge regarding the importance of oral health and hygiene in infants and young children.
The total number of collected questionnaires was 411 and among them, 20 questionnaires with inadequate response were eliminated. In total, 391 were used for statistical analysis.
Additionally, two dental professionals, fluent in Korean and English, translated the English-language survey into Korean and compared each with the other to verify the conformance of the survey. Research items were 35 questions in total comprising of 14 questions relevant to demographic characteristics and 21 questions concerning the oral hygiene of the child (Fig. 1, Fig. 2).
