Abstract

This study was to identify the level of perception and practice of hospital infection control among nurses at geriatric hospitals for the convergent approach. Data were collected from October 29 to November 3, 2012, using hospital Infection control questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using a t-test, ANOVA and Correlation. The mean values of hospital infection control practice were lower than that of perception, the differences were statistically significant. There were statistically significant differences in the perception on age, education, existence of guidelines for infection control, and in the practice according to the existence of guidelines. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between perceptions of hospital infection control and practice. Therefore, it is necessary to provide continual opportunities for systematic, professional, and practical education, as well as to develop relevant programs aimed at improving the capacity of hospital infection control.

본 연구는 융복합적 접근을 위해 노인요양병원 간호사의 병원감염관리에 대한 인지도와 실천도를 파악하고, 제변수간의 관계를 조사하는 연구이다. Lee(2011)가 사용한 병원감염관리 설문지를 이용하여 2012년 10월 29일부터 11월 3일 까지 자료를 수집하였고, 수집된 자료는 t-test, ANOVA 및 Correlation 으로 분석하였다. 병원감염관리 실천도의 평균 점수는 인지도 평균 점수 보다 통계적으로 유의하게 낮았다. 영역별 인지도와 실천도는 손씻기 영역, 호흡기감염관리 영역, 소독 오염물품관리 영역, 감염성 폐기물관리 영역에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으며 실천도가 인지도보다 낮았다. 인지도는 연령, 학력, 감염관리지침서 유무에 따라 차이가 있었으며, 실천도는 감염관리지침서 유무에서만 차이가 있었다. 병원감염관리 인지도와 실천도는 통계적으로 유의한 정적상관관계가 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 노인요양병원 감염관리에 대한 인지도와 실천도를 높이기 위한 제도적 지원과 더불어, 지속적이고 다양한 교육방법을 통해 체계적이고 전문적이며 실제적인 교육을 제공하는 것이 필요하다는 것과 병원감염관리 능력을 증진시키기 위한 프로그램을 개발할 필요를 제기한다.
