Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate hand washing practice and proper hand cleansing among first and second year nursing students who are prone to be exposed to nosocomial infections, and to identify the influence of perceived behavior control and self-efficacy on hand washing practices and proper hand cleansing. Method: Data for 91 students were collected from a nursing college in a metropolitan city in Korea. Data were analyzed using descriptive, t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 19.0. Result: The mean score for hand washing practice was 38.35 out of a possible score of 48, and the mean sore for proper hand cleansing was 18.63 out of a possible score of 28. The significant factors affecting student hand washing practice were 'residential type' (p=.016), 'perceived behavior control' (p=.021), and 'self-efficacy' (p=.033) which explained 19.9% of the variance. The significant factors affecting proper hand cleansing by the students were 'perceived behavior control' (p<.001) and 'regular exercise' (p=.026) which explained 29.8% of the variance. Conclusion: These results indicate a need for education programs on hand washing including strategies to improve perceived behavior control and self-efficacy to promote more effective hand washing practices.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship of personal hygiene education and hand-washing practices among adolescents. Then the impact of such factors on the hand-washing practices was analyzed. Methods: The data of the 2012 Youth Health Risk Behavior web-based Survey collected by Korean Center for Disease Control was analyzed using SPSS. Total 74,186 of middle and hish school students were included. Uni-variate analysis was done by complex sample crosstabs and multi-variate analysis was done by complex sample logistic regression. Results: The 26.8% of students experienced personal hygiene education. The students of boys, low school grade, coeducation, metropolitan, high school record and high economic status experienced more hygiene education. The hand-washing practices were high in the students with the experience of personal hygiene education. In the factors affecting the hand-washing practice, the experience of personal hygiene education was consistently significant. If students experienced the personal hygiene education, they showed 20~30% more rates of hand-washing practices. Conclusions: Hand-washing practice was high when experiencing personal hygiene education. The personal hygiene education was necessary to improve the rate of hand-washing practices.

본 연구는 코로나19에 따른 대학생의 개인방역태도를 조사하기 위하여 충남 소재 대학교에 등교하는 20세 이상 대학생 285명을 대상으로 구굴 설문을 이용한 설문조사를 하였다. 그 결과 30초 이상 흐르는 물에 손씻기, 기침예절, 마스크 착용, 거리두기의 태도는 높은 점수를 얻었다. 그러나 마스크를 벗을 시 마스크 보관 방법이나 학교에서의 책상 등 주변 사물의 소독하는 방역태도는 미흡하였다. 따라서 개인방역태도는 앞으로의 코로나19의 확산을 막고 더 나아가 바이러스의 종식을 위한 기본적인 방침으로 국가의 방역시스템체계 속에서 더욱 강조되어야 할 것이다.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate factors affecting handwashing practice among elementary school students by assessing the perception of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) and characteristics related to knowledge, attitude, and practice of handwashing. Methods: The cross-sectional study design and an online self-reported survey were used in this study. The subjects were 211 elementary students at a school located in G province, Korea. Data were collected from January 4 to 8, 2021. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Results: Mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice of handwashing were 17.09 (out of 20), 21.15 (out of 24), and 27.51 (out of 33), respectively. There were significant positive correlations between the perception of COVID-19 and knowledge of handwashing (r=.23, p=.001), between knowledge and attitude toward handwashing (r=.45, p<.001), between knowledge and practice of handwashing (r=.18, p=.010), and between attitude and practice of handwashing (r=.28, p<.001). The factors influencing handwashing practice were handwashing frequency at home (β=.39, p<.001), handwashing frequency at school (β=.18, p=.006), and attitude toward handwashing (β=.15, p=.026), which explained 34.2% of the variance. Conclusion: These results suggest a need to raise awareness of the importance of handwashing and develop an education program for infectious disease prevention.

Objectives : This study is designed to identify the need for an efficient infection control plan in the curriculum of Dept. of Dental Hygiene and encourage dental hygienists to be more attentive to infection control by analyzing their personal protective measures, hand-washing frequency and other factors relating to infection control. Methods : A survey was conducted of 471 dental hygienists in general hospitals, dental clinics and dental hospitals in City of Busan and Gyeongsangnam-do from December 20, 2009 to February 21, 2010. Results : 1. Among those who worked for more than 11 years, personal protection (3.79) and hand-washing frequency (3.90) factors were rated high (p<0.05). 2. When surveyed by workplace, personal protection was high in general hospitals (3.75) while hand-washing frequency was high in dental clinics (3.74). 3. Among those who received infection control education more than three times, personal protection (4.07) and hand-washing frequency (3.80) were high (p<0.05). 4. Personal protection-related factors were general hospital workers, necessity of infection control education and awareness on infectious disease (p<0.05), while factors associated with hand-washing frequency were number of patients per day, whether or not infection control-related class is given at school, necessity of infection control education and awareness on infectious disease (p<0.05). Conclusions : To enhance awareness of infection control, it may be necessary to addan infection control-related class to the school curriculum and provide the necessity of conducting continuous and systematic infection control education through newly entering staff training and education of dental practitioners.

Methods: One hundred thirty three adults participate in the questionnaire survey in which participants indicated measures they used to prevent NTI, frequency of handwashing for the prevention of NTI. They also responded to questions related to locus of control, uncertainty and state anxiety. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and multiple regression. Results: A majority (66.9%) of the participants indicated that handwashing was an important measure to prevent NTI. Importance of hand-washing was related the highest among the measures they used and it was significantly related to participants who had high score in internal locus of control. Other significant factor to the hand-washing behavior was state anxiety, which explained 6.9% of the frequency. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, majority of participants indicated that handwashing was one of the most important measures to prevent NTI. Nurses need to continue educating public the importance of handwashing and pay attention to personal characteristics such as internal locus of control and anxiety to promote hand-washing.

본 연구는 융복합적 접근을 위해 노인요양병원 간호사의 병원감염관리에 대한 인지도와 실천도를 파악하고, 제변수간의 관계를 조사하는 연구이다. Lee(2011)가 사용한 병원감염관리 설문지를 이용하여 2012년 10월 29일부터 11월 3일 까지 자료를 수집하였고, 수집된 자료는 t-test, ANOVA 및 Correlation 으로 분석하였다. 병원감염관리 실천도의 평균 점수는 인지도 평균 점수 보다 통계적으로 유의하게 낮았다. 영역별 인지도와 실천도는 손씻기 영역, 호흡기감염관리 영역, 소독 오염물품관리 영역, 감염성 폐기물관리 영역에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으며 실천도가 인지도보다 낮았다. 인지도는 연령, 학력, 감염관리지침서 유무에 따라 차이가 있었으며, 실천도는 감염관리지침서 유무에서만 차이가 있었다. 병원감염관리 인지도와 실천도는 통계적으로 유의한 정적상관관계가 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 노인요양병원 감염관리에 대한 인지도와 실천도를 높이기 위한 제도적 지원과 더불어, 지속적이고 다양한 교육방법을 통해 체계적이고 전문적이며 실제적인 교육을 제공하는 것이 필요하다는 것과 병원감염관리 능력을 증진시키기 위한 프로그램을 개발할 필요를 제기한다.

본 연구는 다문화가정 자녀를 위한 건강식생활 부모교육 프로그램의 내용 체계화를 위하여 다문화가정 자녀의 식생활 행동을 분석하였다. 분석 결과를 근거로 하여, 다문화가정 자녀의 식생활 행동에 가장 영향력이 있는 내용 요소를 추출하여, 다문화가정 자녀를 위한 건강식생활 부모교육 프로그램의 내용 구성을 체계화 하는 연구를 진행하였다. 다문화가정 자녀의 식생활 행동을 분석한 결과, 아침식사 및 간식 행동에서는 거주환경에 따라 유의적인 차이를 보이지는 않았지만, 다문화가정 어머니 국가와 거주환경에 따라 손씻기 등의 위생 영역과 식사 예절 내용에서 유의적인 차이가 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 교육 목표 설정을 위한 영역 설정은 안전(위생)-영양-문화 영역으로 도출할 수 있었으며, 영역별 주제는 전체 12주제로 하여 유아는 안전과 위생을 2 주제, 아동의 경우는 안전으로 3 주제, 영양 영역은 유아는 5주제, 아동은 6주제로 설정하였으며, 문화 영역은 동일하게 3 주제로 도출되었다. 전체적으로 다문화가정 자녀는 12개월을 기준으로 12 주제로 건강식생활 부모교육 주제를 설정하였고, 이에 따른 교육 목표 및 교육 활동으로 구성하여 제시하였다.

부산지역 초음파실 근무인원 146명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 병원감염에 대한 인식을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 개인 위생관리와 손씻기 관리인식도, 수행도는 학력이 높을수록 그 수치는 높았으며, 초음파 장비 위생관리에 관한 인식도에서는 감염교육 경험이 있는 집단이, 수행도에서는 대졸미만의 집단이 가장 높은 수치와 통계적으로 차이가 있는 것으로 분석 되었다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 전체적인 인식도에 비해 수행도는 낮게 분석되었다. 이러한 결과는 수행하는 정도가 미흡하다는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 그러므로 이를 해결하기 위해 감염교육을 통한 각자 개인위생에 대한 인식의 전환과 관심이 필요하다고 판단된다.
