다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated small and medium-sized hospital workers’ knowledge of COVID-19, the infection-control- related fatigue and stress levels, and the factors that impacted their performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 137 hospital workers from four small and medium-sized hospitals in S and C cities. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a t-test, analysis of variance(ANOVA), Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis. Small and medium-sized hospital workers’ knowledge of COVID-19 revealed a correct answer rate of 66%. An average of 3.00 points out of 4 for infection control performance and 3.32 and 3.17 points out of 5 for infection-control-related fatigue and stress, respectively, were found. The level of knowledge regarding COVID-19 significantly differed by age and marriage (p<0.05), while infection control performance significantly differed by age, marriage, and infection control education experience (p<0.05). Infection-control-related fatigue and stress differed depending on the COVID-19 control education experience, economic and social prejudice, and fear of discrimination. There were positive correlations between knowledge and infection control performance, and infection control performance and infection-control-related fatigue and stress (p<0.001). This study showed that the factors that affected small and medium-sized hospital workers’ performance included knowledge of “environmental management,” “difficulties due to new role requirements,” “presence or absence of infection education experience,” “job type,” and “age.” These results suggest that practical and detailed education programs should be systematically developed and implemented for effective infection control.
