This study is a descriptive study to investigate factors affecting the level of performance of COVID-19 infection prevention activities among nurses. The participants were 190 nurses at a tertiary hospital located in Daejeon city and data collection was performed during March, 2021. The results showed that the factors affecting the level of performance of infection prevention activities were age(β=.25, p=.008), working unit(β=.15, p=.046), and hospital safety climate(β=.17, p=.025). Therefore, in order to improve the level of performance of infection prevention activities among hospital nurses, education and policy to establish a hospital safety climate should be implemented.

This study was an attempt to develop a multidrug resistant organisms infection control simulation program for nurses at small and medium sized hospitals and to evaluate the effectiveness of said simulation program. This is a single-group, pre-post experimental design study conducted on 33 nurses working at small and medium sized hospitals. Data obtained were analyzed using the IBM SPSS 21.0 program, along with the use of descriptive statistics and paired t-test. Regarding the results of the study, multdrug resistant organisms infecion control knowledge(t=-10.764, p<.001)and performance levels(t=-4.215, p<.001) of the nurses displayed statistically significant increases following application of the simulation program. There is a need for the development of more diversified simulation programs in the future since the improvement in the infection control knowledge and performance levels of nurses is important to block the spread of multidrug resistant organisms and prevent infection outbreak thereof with medical institutions.

본 연구는 AIDS에 대한 지식과 태도를 파악하여 AIDS에 관한 올바른 지식을 전달할 수 있고, AIDS 교육의 기초 자료를 확보하고 제공하여 남자고등학생들의 AIDS예방과 편견불식에 도움을 주고자 시도 되었다. 조사 대상자는 울산지역에 소재하는 D고등학교 전교생 961명을 조사 대상으로 하여 설문조사를 실시하고 분석하여 906명의 표본으로 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 조사대상자의 AIDS에 대한 지식은 총29점 중 19.7점의 지식도를 보였고, 일반적지식, 전파경로에 대한지식, 예방지식 중 일반적 지식이 가장 높았고 전파경로에 대한 지식이 가장 낮게 조사되었다. 2. 조사대상자의 AIDS에 대한 태도는 100점 환산하여 64.5점의 긍정을 보였고, 그 중 AIDS감염환자에 대한 편견이 있었다. 3. AIDS관련 지식은 AIDS관련 교육횟수, 교육의 도움정도, AIDS관련 정보획득방법, 흡연경험, 음란물접촉경험, 이 성교제경험, 성관계경험에 따라 통계적 유의한 차이를 보였다.(p<0.05) 4. AIDS에 대한 태도는 교육의 도움정도, AIDS관련 정보획득방법, 흡연경험, 음란물접촉경험, 이성교제경험에 따라 통계적 유의한 차 이를 보였다.(p<0.05) 5. AIDS관련 지식과 태도의 상관관계는 흡연경험과 이성교제경험이 있는 학생들에게서 지식의 수준이 낮을수록 긍정적 태도를 보였으며, 음란물접촉경험이 있는 학생들은 지식의 수준이 높을수록 긍정적 태도를 보였으며 통계적으로 유의하였다.(p<0.01) 6. AIDS에 대한 지식과 태도간의 관련성을 살펴보면 일반적 지식과는 0.158, 전파경로에 대한 지식과는 0.161, 예방에 관한 지식과는 0.204로 조사되었고 전체 지식과 태도간의 관련성은 0.198로 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다.(p=.000) 7. 회귀분석 결과 HIV/AIDS에 대한 태도에 영향력이 가장 큰 것은 음주경험(-0.279), 이성 교제경험(0.259), 흡연경험(0.231), 음란물접촉경험(0.180), 예방지식(0.165), 전파경로지식(0.129), 교육도움(-0.125)순이었고 20.7%의 설명력을 가졌다. 고등학생들이 AIDS에 대한 올바른 지식과 감염환자에 대한 편견을 갖지 않도록 많은 교육 시간과 경험적인 학습의 AIDS관련 보건교육이 필요할 것이다.

This study examined and compared the droplet infection prevention activity and cough etiquette knowledge among nursing hospital workers. Data were collected from March 4 to 29, 2019, through personal interviews using a questionnaire in 177 nursing hospital workers (health care provider: n=61, non-health care provider: n=116). The data were analyzed using a x²-test, Fisher's exact test, independent t-test, and ANOVA. The general characteristics were statistically significant between the two groups in terms of sex and age. The prevention activities of droplet infection showed statistically significant differences between the two groups in usually carrying a tissue, usually carrying a handkerchief, usually carrying a mask, carrying a handkerchief at respiratory symptoms, hand washing frequency, and cough etiquette compliance. Knowledge of cough etiquette showed significant differences between the two groups. The knowledge of cough etiquette, according to the non-health provider's prevention activities of droplet infection, was statistically significant in usually carrying a mask and cough etiquette education. Therefore, it is necessary to raise the knowledge about cough etiquette and develop strategies for habitual cough etiquette for each nursing hospital worker.
