Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to clarify the current status of stockpiling of oral care hygiene materials in case of a disaster and to determine methods to support stockpiling during disaster preparation.

Methods: We conducted an Internet questionnaire survey on stockpiling and disaster prevention measures among 300 adults. For statistical analysis, the χ² test, Mann-Whitney U-test and Spearman rank test were employed. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to review factors related to stockpiling.

Results: Among the questions on stockpiling and disaster prevention (14 of 15 items), seven items on disaster prevention measures and two on disaster prevention experiences significantly differed. Analysis of disaster prevention knowledge revealed that disaster prevention measures and disaster experiences significantly differed in terms of the presence or absence of stockpiling, albeit a positive correlation was noted with stockpiling. Logistic regression analysis was conducted with stockpiling as a dependent variable. As a result, the items 'I am aware about the hazard map of the residential area', 'I am aware about the type of oral care hygiene materials prepared for emergency' and 'Devising the living environment such that large furnitures and cupboards do not collapse during disasters' were effective.

Conclusions: Stockpiling at home is considered necessary for self-sufficiency during a disaster on the basis of the experiences in disaster management, disaster prevention knowledge and disaster prevention measures. Hence, stockpiling is a strong measure against disaster prevention along with provision of appropriate knowledge about the necessity of oral care in daily life. Disaster prevention education that empowers a population to prepare itself by implementing disaster prevention measures, such as improving the home environment, is considered effective. In addition, considering that relying on stockpiling at an individual level is ineffective, it is necessary to create mechanisms and systems that jointly manage disaster situations according to local circumstances.

【平时口腔保健卫生用品备货相关因素调查:网络调查分析】。
目的:本研究的目的是阐明口腔护理卫生材料在灾害情况下的储存现状,并确定在备灾期间支持储存的方法。方法:对300名成人进行网络问卷调查。统计分析采用χ 2检验、Mann-Whitney u检验和Spearman秩次检验。采用Logistic回归分析对与库存相关的因素进行分析。结果:在储备与防灾问题(15个题项中的14个)中,7个题项涉及防灾措施,2个题项涉及防灾经验。对防灾知识的分析表明,防灾措施和灾害经历在是否有储备方面存在显著差异,尽管与储备呈正相关。以库存为因变量进行Logistic回归分析。因此,“我知道居住区的危险地图”、“我知道为紧急情况准备的口腔护理卫生材料的类型”、“设计生活环境,使大型家具和橱柜在灾难中不会倒塌”等项目都很有效。结论:根据灾害管理、防灾知识和防灾措施方面的经验,认为在灾害发生时家庭储备是自给自足的必要条件。因此,储备是预防灾害的有力措施,同时提供有关日常生活中口腔护理必要性的适当知识。人们认为,通过实施防灾措施,例如改善家庭环境,使人民有能力做好准备的防灾教育是有效的。此外,考虑到依靠个人一级的储存是无效的,有必要建立根据当地情况共同管理灾害情况的机制和制度。
