Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between hand washing practice and hand washing on the health belief model among dental practitioners. A self-reported questionnaire was completed by each 140 dental practitioners in dental clinics, general and university dental hospitals. The data were analyzed statistically with t-test, 1-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient test(${\alpha}=.05$). The hand washing practice showed a quantitative linear relationship(p<0.01) of r=0.285 with the hand washing on health belief. In order to prevent hospital infection of dental practitioners working in dental clinics or general and university dental hospitals, health beliefs about hand washing consisting of perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, perceived benefit, perceived barriers, and cues to action in infection control education should be considered.

본 연구의 목적은 치과종사자의 손씻기에 대한 건강신념과 손씻기 수행도 간의 관련성을 파악하여 평가하는 것이다. 본 연구는 치과의원, 치과대학병원에서 근무하는 140명의 치과종사자를 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 사용하여 자가보고식으로 작성하도록 하였다. 모든 자료는 통계분석은 t검정, 일원분산 분석, Pearson 상관계수분석으로 통계처리 하였다. 손씻기 수행도는 손씻기에 대한 건강신념과 r=0.285로 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.01). 치과의원, 치과대학병원에서 근무하는 치과종사자의 병원감염 예방을 실천하기 위해서는 감염관리 교육 시 지각된 민감성, 지각된 심각성, 지각된 유익성, 지각된 장애성, 수행을 위한 동기로 구성된 손씻기에 대한 건강신념을 고려하고, 지속적인 손씻기 교육을 시행한다면 치과종사자의 손씻기 수행도도 증가할 것으로 사료된다.
