This study was exam i ned to determ i ne the effect of school nu rse' s oral health class on oral health knowledge and oral health behavior in an elementary school children. Subject was consisted of 132 children of 4th year at an elementary school in K City, and they were divided to 63 of experimental group and 69 of control group by random. Data were collected from April 9 to 28, 2001 through qustionnaires of childrens' oral health knowledge and oral health behavior. The researcher who was a school nurse measured the score of oral health knowledge and oral health behavior of the subjects before and after treatment. The treatment was three times of oral health class only given to the experimental group for three weeks, 40 minutes in a week. After the class, researcher testified the differences of the scores between the experimental
and control group. The material for oral health education and the questionnaires were developed by the researcher, and were tested for content velidity by a dentist, a nursing pro fessor, a school teacher, and a school nurse. Reliab ility of the questionnaires were tested by Item analysis: Instrument to measure oral health knowledge was Cronch's a = .72, that of oral health behavior was Cronbach's a = .87. Data were analyized by frequency, mean, percentage, x2, t-test, and ANOVA using SAS. The results may be summarized as follows. 1. Homogeneity of general characteristics before the treatmen: There was not any differce between experimental and control group ( p > .05). 2. Homogeneity of oral health knowledge and oral health behavior before the treatment: There was not any differce between experimental and control group (p > .05). 3. After the treatment (shool nurse's oral health class), the score of oral health knowledge significantly increased in the experimental group than in the control group. So hypothesis I was supported (t = 6.36, p = .000). 4. After the treatment, there was not significant difference between experimental and control group in the score of oral health behavior. So hypothesis II was rejected (t = .10, p = .919). 5. Only gender of the demographic variables showed difference in the score of oral health knowledge (t = 10.21 p = .ocm. The girls' score was higher than that of boys. 6. Father's education leve (t = 5.64, p = .019) and interest in oral health (t = 8.26, p = .000) showed the difference in the score of oral health behavior. The higher the education level of childrens' fathers, the higher the score of oral health behavior was. The higher the childrens' interest in oral health, the higher the score of oral health behavior was. In conclusion, a experimental group who received the oral health class from a school nurse showed significantly higher score of oral health knowledge than that of control group.
