Abstract

This study was done to investigate characteristics, knowledge, attitude, and performance on hand washing by nursing students who are prone to have clinical practice. Data were collected from 418 students in 3 nursing colleges from September to October, 2011 using questionnaire. The mean frequency and duration of hand washing were 7.2 times a day and 19.1 sec. The mean scores of knowledge, attitude, and performance on hand washing were 11.34(range 0~15), 3.42(range 1~5), 3.6(range 1~5), respectively. Above a half of students don't know about appropriate duration for hand washing and precautions after washing hands. Washing hands after rubbing nose, coughing, sneezing and handling the money and removing watch before hand washing were little performed. These results should be useful in development of education program for improving hand washing performance of nursing students.

본 연구는 임상실습 전 간호대학생의 손씻기 관련 특성과 손씻기 지식과 태도 및 수행도를 파악하여 올바른 손씻기 교육프로그램 개발에 관한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시행되었다. 3개 대학의 간호대학생 418명을 대상으로 2011년 9월부터 10월까지 설문지를 이용하여 자료수집을 하였다. 연구결과, 대상자의 1일 평균 손씻기 수는 7.2회, 시간은 평균 19.1초였다. 대상자의 손씻기 지식, 태도, 수행도 점수는 각각 11.34점(1~15), 3.42점(1~5), 3.6점(1~5)이었다. 손씻기에 적당한 소요시간, 손을 씻은 후의 주의사항 등에 대해서는 절반 이상의 대상자가 잘 모르고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 손씻기 전 시계를 제거하는 것, 코를 만지거나 기침한 후, 돈을 만진 후에 손을 씻는 것 등은 수행이 잘 이루어지지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 간호대학생들의 손씻기 수행도 증가를 위한 교육프로그램을 개발하여 반복교육을 실시함으로써 올바른 습관형성이 이루어지도록 해야 할 것이다.
