Abstract

The purpose of this study is a descriptive research study to identify the factors affecting the performance of infection control by general hospital nurses' empowerment and job burnout. The subjects collected data from September 15 to October 31, 2023 from a total of 210 nurses at a general hospital located in D city. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Sheffe, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program. As a result of the study, empowerment and infection control performance showed a positive correlation, and empowerment was analyzed as the most influential factor in infection control performance with 14.8% of explanatory power. Therefore, it is necessary to reflect programs and policies to efficiently perform infection control that can improve the empowerment of nurses.
