Background:The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of oral care, perceived halitosis, halitosis, interpersonal relationships and oral health-related quality of life and to examine the relationships among these variables. Methods: The participants were 94 elderly people. The questionnaire included questions on oral care, perceived halitosis, interpersonal relationships, and oral health-related quality of life. Halitosis was measured using odor breath tester. Results: A total of 63.8% of the elderly did not receive regular oral care. The halitosis score was 1.59, thus indicating moderate halitosis. The current perceived halitosis figure was 1.54, participants responded that they feel slight. There was no significant correlation between halitosis and perceived halitosis. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in halitosis and perceived halitosis according to the oral care. Perceived halitosis was negatively correlated with oral health-related quality of life. Interpersonal relationships were correlated with oral health-related quality of life. Conclusions: It is necessary to actively promote the need for oral care among the elderly. Moreover, older people need regular oral care to prevent halitosis and improve their oral health-related quality of life.

The purpose of this study was to examine, among quality improvement (QI) department employees, the effects of perception of the healthcare accreditation on job stress and to identify factors affecting turnover intention. Research data was collected between 1 June and 15 June 2016. The sample included QI department employees who had participated in a healthcare accreditation survey. The collected data were analyzed to obtain frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation results, which were assessed by using Student's t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. The scores for QI employees' perceptions of the healthcare accreditation, job stress, and turnover intention were 3.35, 3.66, and 3.32 of the perception by general characteristics. There were significant differences between scores according to gender, age, QI department section, position, and job satisfaction. In addition, job stress and turnover intention scores showed significant differences according to position, age, QI department section, and job satisfaction. A positive correlation was observed between healthcare perception and job stress, while turnover intention was negatively correlated with healthcare perception. The results indicate that the perception of healthcare accreditation positively affects job stress; in contrast, it decreases the number of people intending to change departments. Among the sample of lower level workers, the younger age workers who were employed for more than 10 years expressed lower satisfaction with their job, which indicates that they are affected by their notion of healthcare accreditation more than by other factors. Thus, in order to lessen work stress and employees' thoughts of leaving the department, the QI department should be encouraged to lessen job stress and provide various supports to the employees.

Background: Halitosis is considered unpleasant in social settings, including among family members and close friends. The level of halitosis acts as a negative factor in personal relationships and social activities and causes psychological and emotional problems such as discouragement by affecting isolation, and a sense of pride. We aimed to analyze the factors affecting halitosis, focusing on oral health and toothbrushing performance of people with intellectual disabilities. Methods: Study participants were 20 people with intellectual disabilities residing in a residential care facility. We assessed halitosis level using a 6-point Likert scale. We assessed oral pain using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale. Debris and calculus level was assessed with the simplified oral hygiene index. The assessment of toothbrushing performance level performed using the Korean version of the Modified Barthel Index; performance time was measured with a stopwatch. Results: There was a statistically significant correlation between the level of halitosis and calculus (+), and toothbrushing performance level (−). As a result of casual relationship analysis, toothbrushing performance (−) was the only effect factor influencing halitosis level. Conclusions: To manage the halitosis level of people with intellectual disabilities, education and training for toothbrushing performance, as well as comprehensive assessment of performance are needed. Also, active interventions and approaches should be used to teach and maintain performance as a habit.
