Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, compliance and affecting factors of the cough etiquette to prevent the respiratory infectious disease transmission. Data were collected 250 self reporting questionnaires above 19 years old adult from Aug. 13th to Sep. 19th 2018. 213 questionnaires were analyzed statistically. In the results, the score was converted in terms of 100 points, knowledge of the cough etiquette was average $70.99{\pm}19.92$ points, compliance was $70.63{\pm}10.25$ points. Knowledge and compliance were statistically positive significant correlation, In the multiple regression analysis, the affecting factors were gender, usually carry a handkerchief, usually carry a portable tissue paper, average number of handwashes per day, know about cough etiquette, knowledge of cough etiquette. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and apply an educational program that reflects the affecting factors of cough etiquette in this study result. The higher level of cough etiquette performance will help prevent respiratory infection transmission.

본 연구는 호흡기 감염 전파 예방을 위한 기침예절에 대한 지식과 실행수준 및 영향요인을 파악하기 위해 시행하였다. 2018년 8월 13일부터 9월 19일까지 19세 이상 성인 250명을 대상으로 자가보고식 설문지를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였으며, 이 중 213명의 자료를 분석에 이용하였다. 연구결과 기침예절 지식과 실행수준은 100점으로 환산 시 평균 지식수준이 $70.99{\pm}19.92$점, 실행수준은 $70.63{\pm}10.25$점으로 중간 수준이었다. 기침예절 지식과 실행수준 간에는 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었으며, 다중회귀분석에서 기침예절 실행에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 성별, 평소 손수건을 가지고 다님, 평소 휴지를 가지고 다님, 일평균 손씻기 횟수, 기침예절에 대해 알고 있음, 기침예절 지식 수준이 유의하였다. 본 연구결과에서 확인된 기침예절 실행 영향 요인을 반영한 교육 프로그램의 개발과 적용이 필요하며, 기침예절 실행수준이 높아짐에 따라 호흡기 감염 전파 예방에 도움이 될 것이다.
