Purpose: Infection management is important for physical therapists in order to protect patients and themselves since they often provide patient care and have physical contact with patients. This study examined the performance of infection control and associated factors among physical therapists. Methods: The study subjects were 174 physical therapists working in the G metropolitan city. The performance of infection control according to general characteristics, job-related characteristics, and infection-related characteristics were compared using t-test and ANOVA. Associations between awareness and performance of infection control were tested by correlation. Finally, multiple linear regression analyses were performed to examine the factors associated with performance of infection control. Results: Overall performance scores for personal and therapy room were 87.47±11.70 and 70.08±13.68, respectively. Both personal and therapy room infection control were lower for the degree of performance than the degree of awareness. In multiple linear regression analysis, the degree of performance at a personal level was related to current smoking status, type of charge therapy, supply of protection equipment, and awareness of personal infection control. The degree of performance of therapy room was related to injury experience in the workplace, supply of protection equipment, and awareness of therapy room infection control. Conclusion: Performance of therapy room infection control was lower than that of personal infection control. The performance was associated with the supply of protection equipment and awareness. Therefore, the degree of performance for infection control will be increased with proper supply of protection equipment in the hospital and increase the degree of awareness with adequate prevention edu-cation.

Jeoung-Mi Kim,Young-In Han 국제문화기술진흥원 2019 International Journal of Advanced Culture Technolo Vol.7 No.3

The aims of the study to investigate the relationship between awareness, empowerment and performance of healthcare associated infections (HAIs) control and to identify factors influencing performance of HAIs among general hospital nurses. Data were collected from 230 nurses in two general hospitals in B city, with the questionnaire of an empowerment, awareness and performance of infection control tool. The data were analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regressions. The performance of infection control was significantly correlated with empowerment and awareness of infection control. The empowerment had a positive correlation with an awareness of infection control (r= .233, p <.001) respectively. The infection control performance was influenced by infection control awareness, empowerment and number of annual job training, which explained 42.2% of the performance of infection control. Infection management performance of general hospitals nurses is affected not only by infection awareness but also by empowerment and job education. Therefore, it suggests that HAIs management program could develop for the nurses and provide empowerment with job training to improve the management and performance of HAIs, also to reinforce via constant support by the hospital.

Infections are common in nursing homes and contribute significantly to resident morbidity and mortality. Therefore, controlling of infections in nursing homes is an important issue and it is necessary to educate that can improve infection control for care workers. The objectives of this study are to describe the level of perception and performance of infection control of care workers in nursing home and to provide the basic data of the infection control education program for care workers. Methods : A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted with 120 care workers who are employed in 8 nursing homes. The data were collected by using self-report questionnaires from March 2 to June 15, 2021. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and pearson correlation coefficient, stepwise multiple regression performed using SPSS Windows for 22.0 program. Results : The mean scores of perception and performance of infection control of care workers were 4.13±0.44 and 4.05±0.47. There were statistically significant differences in the perception of infection control according to age(F=3.35, p=.038), education level(F=4.33, p=.015) and nursing home size(F=4.34, p=.015). There were statistically significant differences in the performance of infection control according to nursing home size(F=6.85, p=.002). Performance of infection positively correlated with the perception of infection control(r=.92, p<.001). Perception of infection control and nursing home size were the primary factors that impacted the care worker’s performance of infection control by explaining 85.5% of the variance. Particularly, perception of infection control was identified as factors influencing performance of infection control(β=.90, p<.001). Conclusion : Findings from this study provide valuable information regarding perception of infection control was the major factor that impacts infection control performance. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the perception of infection control and provide systematic education about infection control.

김현희,김남희 사단법인 인문사회과학기술융합학회 2017 예술인문사회융합멀티미디어논문지 Vol.7 No.11

The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for the development of educational programs which improve the nurses’ infection control performance by investigating the knowledge, awareness and performance of infection control and analyzing the correlation among nurses in long-term care hospital after accreditation program. The subjects of the study were working for the long-term care hospitals located in B city. The data collection period was from June 1, 2016 to July 30, 2016. A total of 160 questionnaires were distributed and 135 questionnaires were collected. 109 questionnaires were used for data analysis, except for 26 unreliable response questionnaires. The descriptive statistics were conducted using the SPSS 22.0 statistical program. The surgical asepsis marked the highest point with 0.96, while the staff infection control marked 0.1. The score of awareness of infection control marked 4.71 out of 5 points. The performance score of infection control was 4.60 out of 5 points. There was a statistically significant difference in positions(F=3.841, p=.025) of the knowledge of infection control according to general characteristics. The knowledge of infection control related to infection-control characteristics shows statistically significant difference according to the awareness(t=-2.60, p=0.22) of the guidelines. There was a statistically significant difference in the awareness according to infection control which is regarded as the most important and the ease of use of protective equipment(F=3.88, p=.024). There was a statistically significant difference in the level of infection control performance in the recognition of infection control guidelines(t=-2.021, p=.046). There is a statistically significant positive correlation between the awareness and performance of infection control, the higher the awareness, the higher the performance(r=.465, p<001). However, knowledge of infection control did not have a significant correlation with awareness and performance. Therefore, specific education plans and systems should be sought to improve awareness, the most influential factor in infection control performance, as this study shows. In addition, it shows that there is no correlation between infection control knowledge and performance. Therefore, it is suggested to develop standardized infection control knowledge measurement tool for long-term care hospital nurses. 본 연구는 병원 평가인증 실시 이후, 요양병원 간호사의 감염관리에 대한 지식, 인지도 및 수행도 조사하고 이들 간의 상관관계를 분석함으로써 요양병원 간호사의 감염관리에 대한 수행도를 높이기 위한 교육 프로그램 개발의 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도된 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상자는 B시에 위치한 요양병원에 근무하는 간호사를 편의표집하였다. 자료수집 기간은 2016년 6월 1일부터 7월 30일까지였다. 총 160부의 설문지를 배부하여 135부를 회수하였으며 불성실하게 응답한 26부를 제외한 109부를 자료 분석에 사용하였다. SPSS 22.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, 상관관계 분석을 실시하였다. 감염관리에 대한 지식 점수는 0.65점, 인지도의 점수는 4.71점, 수행도 점수는 4.60점이었다. 감염관리에 대한 영역별로는 ‘개인위생 및 의복관리’ 영역이 4.72점으로 가장 높았고 ‘호흡기 감염관리’ 영역이 4.47점으로 가장 낮았다. 일반적 특성에 따른 감염관리에 대한 지식은 직위(F=3.841, p=.025)에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 감염관리 관련 특성에 따른 지식은 감염관리 지침에 대한 인식(t=-2.60, p=.022), 인지도는 보호장비 이용의 용이성(F=3.88, p=.024), 수행도는 감염관리 지침에 대한 인식(t=-2.021, p=.046)에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 감염관리에 대한 인지도와 수행도는 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계(r=.465, p<001)를 보였으나 감염관리에 대한 지식은 인지도 및 수행도와 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 요양병원 간호사의 감염관리에 대한 수행도는 인지도 보다 낮은 수준이었고, 감염관리에 대한 인지도는 수행도와 양의 상관관계가 있었으나 지식은 수행도와 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 따라서 인지도를 높이기 위한 구체적인 교육 방안과 제도가 모색되어야 할 것이다.

Factors Affecting the Performance of Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) control- Focus on Empowerment and Awareness of General Hospital Nurses

김정미,한영인 국제문화기술진흥원 2019 International Journal of Advanced Culture Technolo Vol.7 No.3

The aims of the study to investigate the relationship between awareness, empowerment and performance of healthcare associated infections (HAIs) control and to identify factors influencing performance of HAIs among general hospital nurses. Data were collected from 230 nurses in two general hospitals in B city, with the questionnaire of an empowerment, awareness and performance of infection control tool. The data were analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regressions. The performance of infection control was significantly correlated with empowerment and awareness of infection control. The empowerment had a positive correlation with an awareness of infection control (r= .233, p <.001) respectively. The infection control performance was influenced by infection control awareness, empowerment and number of annual job training, which explained 42.2% of the performance of infection control. Infection management performance of general hospitals nurses is affected not only by infection awareness but also by empowerment and job education. Therefore, it suggests that HAIs management program could develop for the nurses and provide empowerment with job training to improve the management and performance of HAIs, also to reinforce via constant support by the hospital.
