Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study was conducted to provide basic data for a health promotion program by analyzing the effects of high school students’ mental health-related factors on oral symp-tom experiences.
Methods: This study included 24,833 high school students who participated in the screen-ing and health survey in the “17th (2021) Adolescent Health Behavior Survey.” SPSS soft-ware (SPSS Statistics ver. 21.0; IBM) was used for statistical analysis. Multiple sample lo-gistic regression analysis was performed. The significance level was set to 0.05.
Results: The result of the analysis on the effect of mental health revealed that oral symp-tom experience was low in students without depression and suicidal thoughts. Oral symp-tom experience was high in students with stress perception. Additionally, the experience of oral symptoms was low when there was sufficient subjective sleep.
Conclusion: Therefore, it is necessary to develop a customized oral health education pro-gram for early detection of oral symptoms and oral health promotion in high school stu-dents. Furthermore, it suggests the need for strategies and continuous oral health guid-ance to practice proper oral health habits to maintain healthy oral conditions.
