Abstract
This study was performed to identify the factors affecting 'the organizational culture for infection control', 'the resource support', 'the knowledge about COVID-19', and 'the resilience' among hospital nurses on the performance of COVID-19 infection control. A total of 150 nurses, registered in Korea, participated in the current study. The data were collected through self-report questionnaires. From 27th July to 10th August, 2022, 147 questionnairesout of 150 were collected. In multiple regression analysis, 'the resource support', 'the knowledge about COVID-19' and 'the resilience' were analyzed as significant factors in performing of the infection control for COVID-19 (β = 0.68, p < .001, β = 0.12, p = .023 and β = 0.20, p = .005 respectively). For improving the nurses' performance of infection control against Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19) during the pandemic, it is necessary to develop and evaluate the programs through the organizational support and strategies to improve individual knowledge.
