AHSTRACT
The UKGS
Program
(School Dental Health Effort Program), which
has
been
conducted for around 48 years, is still perceived less satisfactory, as the dental health
status of teenagers (18 years old) is assumed still low. The results of SKRT in 1997
showed the prevalence and the degree of caries destructive in the group of 18 years
old remained high. they were 83,50% and OMF-T 2,68. The PTI (Performance
Treatment Index) based on the SKRT 1995
was
4,52%. These figure described that
the child motivation to fill their teeth in order to preserve their permanent teeth was
still far from the National target in the year 2000, it was 50%. These conditions has
triggered the researcher to find out the factors which influence on it, by analyzing the
relation between the dental care behavior and the dental health status, intended to
develop the UKGS program at junior and senior high school level (SLTP and SLTA),
particularly in Langkat regency.
This study was a survey research with descriptive-analytical approach.Using
Stratified Random Sampling, 345 students of high school in Langkat Regency have
been given the questionares and also examined their dental health condition. The
cross sectional and chi square test measurement towards the student behavior, which
consisted of knowledge, attitude and practice factors, as well as the dental health
status based on the indicators 18 years old. In addition, the health services as
supporting data, was measured based on the deep interview result towards 8 persons
who responsible for the UKGS program implementation in Langkat regency.
The result showed that there was no significant relations between the
knowledge factor with the dental health status (p=O,8). The students who
had a
relatively better knowledge could not motivate themselves to take care of their dental
health; therefore, the dental health status of the high school students in Langkat
regency was relatively low.
It
is conducted as the impact of the unsuccessfulness of
the UKGS program which has been conducted until present at the elementary school
level (SO).
It is expected, either Health Local Office or UKGS Program Executor in the
Community Health Center (PUSKESMAS), to pay more attention to the importance
of the dental health care, especially to the school ages (elementary, junior and senior
high school).

ABSTRAK
Selama
±
48 tahun program berjalan dampak program UKGS masih kurang
memuaskan, dimana status kesehatan gigi dan muJut remaja (usia 18 tahun)
diasurnsikan masih rendah. Hasil
SKRT tahun 1997
pacta
kelompok usia 18 tahun
prevalensi dan derajat keparahan karies masih cukup tinggi yaitu 83,50%
dan
OMF-T
2,68. PTI
(Performed Treatment Index) berdasarkan SKRT tahun 1995 adalah 4,52%,
hal
ini menggambarkan motivasi
anak
untuk
menambal gigi
dalam
upaya
mempertahankan gigi
tetapnya
masihjauh dari target Nasional tahun 2000 yaitu 50%.
Kondisi
ini
mendorong
peneliti
untuk
mengetahui
faktor-faktor
yang
mempengaruhinya melalui analisa hubungan perilaku pemeliharaan kesehatan gigi
dan
mulut dengan status kesehatan gigi
dan
mulut sebagai upaya pengembangan
program UKGS ditingkat lanjut (SLTP dan SLT
A)
khususnya
di
kabupaten Langkat.
Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian survai dengan pendekatan deskriptif
analitik. Melalui
Stratified Random Sampling sebanyak 345 siswa SMU di Kabupaten
Langkat,
diberikan kuesioner dan dilakukan pemeriksaan terhadap gigi
dan
mulutnya.
Pengukuran secara
cross sectional dan uji chi square terhadap perilaku siswa yang
terdiri dari
faktor
pengetahuan, sikap
dan
tindakan dengan status kesehatan gigi
dan
mulut berdasarkan indikator usia 18 tahun. Pelayanan kesehatan sebagai data
pendukung, diukur berdasarkan hasil wawancara mendalam terhadap 8 orang
penanggung
jawab pelaksana program UKGS di Kabupaten Langkat.
Hasil penelitian, faktor pengetahuan tidak mempunyai
hubungan
yang
bermakna dengan status kesehatan gigi dan mulut
(p=O,8).
Pengetahuan siswa yang
cenderung baik kurang memotivasi siswa untuk bersikap dan melakukan tindakan
pemeliharaan kesehatan gigi dan mulut, sehingga status kesehatan gigi
dan
mulut
siswa SMU di kabupaten Langkat relatif rendah. Hal ini merupakan dampak kurang
berhasilnya pelaksanaan program UKGS yang berjalan selama ini di tingkat dasar
(SO).
Oiharapkan baik Oinas Kesehatan maupun pelaksana program UKGS di
Puskesmas lebih memberikan perhatian khusus terhadap pentingnya pemeliharaan
kesehatan gigi dan mulut masyarakat khususnya usia sekolah (SO, SLTP
dan
SLTA).
