Abstract

Objectives
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between oral health-related quality of life and adult attachment type among college students.
Methods
A total of 557 self-administered questionnaires were collected from undergraduates in Jeonbuk. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. The results were analyzed using t-tests, analyses of variance, Duncan’s multiple range tests, correlation analyses, and multiple regression analyses.
Results
The results of this study showed that sex and age were significant factors according to the analysis of the oral health-related quality of life in terms of general characteristics. The variable that had the greatest effect on the oral health-related quality of life was attachment anxiety, followed by age, sex, and attachment avoidance.
Conclusions
Education and counseling to promote safety of adult attachment will improve the oral health-related quality of life for college students.
