The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of infection control knowledge and standard precaution practice and to identify effecting factors on standard precaution practice among nurses in small and midium-sized hospitals. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 258 nurses from 7 hospitals between July and August 2021. The mean score of infection control knowledge and standard precaution practice was 7.25 and 3.61, respectively. There were significant differences in standard precaution practice according to clinical experience (r=.123, p=.047) and position (F=5.356, p=.005). Infection control knowledge and standard precaution practice were closely correlated (r=.421, p<.001). Position (β=-.187, p=.025) and infection control knowledge (β=.408, p<.001) had an effect on standard precaution practice. It could be possible to enhance the standard precaution practice through convergence education program related to infection control among staff nurses.

This study aimed to explore the influences of safety attitude for patient and moral sensitivity in practice of standard precaution in small and medium hospital nurses. Data were collected from 150 small and medium hospital nurses in January 11, 2021 to January 22, 2021 and were analyzed using Descriptive statistics, Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. Practice of standard precaution was significantly correlated with safety attitude for patient (r=.539, p<.001) and moral sensitivity(r=.249, p=.002). Practice of standard precaution was associated safety attitude for patient, and work unit with 33.8% of the variance(F=18.47, p<.001). Based on the findings of this study, each institution needs to make efforts to strengthen the safety attitude for patient of small and medium hospital nurses for practice of standard precaution.

The purpose of this study was to examine the knowledge, awareness, safety-climate and performance of standard precautions for healthcare-associated infection control and to identify the factors that influence the performance of standard precautions among nurses in small- and medium-sized hospitals. The subjects of this study were 151 nurses who worked for more than 1 year in 6 small to medium-sized hospitals (less than 300 beds). The data was collected using self-report questionnaires from January 15 to February 15, 2018. The collected data was analyzed using the SPSS Statistics 22.0 program. The mean score for safety climate and performance of standard precautions showed significant differences according to the working department. There were significant positive correlations among knowledge, awareness, safety climate, and performance of standard precautions. The factors influencing the performance of standard precautions were safety climate and awareness. The explanatory power of the performance of the two variables was 23.3%. Based on the findings, it is necessary to improve the safety-climate and continuous educational program, and administrative support should be provided to improve nurses' performance of standard precautions for healthcare-associated infection control in small- and medium-sized hospitals.

최근 XML 문서는 여러 분야의 시스템에서 교환 표준으로 자리 잡고 있다. 의료 사업 분야에서도 병원간 자료를 전송을 하는데 XML을 사용하는 것이 유통하며, HL7에서도 병원 간 외부 교환 표준으로 XML 문서를 선정하였다. 교환 매개인 XML 문서는 DTD를 이용하여 유효성을 검증할 수 있는 있으나, DTD는 구조 표현과 데이터 형식지원의 한계로 인하여 복합 구조치 의료 데이터를 표현하기에 부족한 점이 있다. 병원정보교환시스템 HIES는 기존 병원 내의 시스템 구조론 유지한 채 병원 내 진료과 간이나 외부 병원 사이에 의료 데이터를 전산 공유할 수 있는 시스템으로, 대부분 복합구조의 의료 데이터를 전송하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 XML DTD 기반으로 구축되었던 HIES를 XML Schema를 이용하여 확장함으로써, 전송 문서의 내부 구조 변경, 정보 공유 관리자 및 동적 스키마 처리, 정보 보안 분야에서 얻는 이점을 보인다

As the electronic medical records systems (EMRs) are introduced into the hospitals in Korea and the needs of chief stakehoders of medical records are changed, the environments related to creating and managing medical records has been changed dynamically. At this moment it might be meaningful to examine medical records based on records management principles rather than information management principles. The purpose of this paper is to apply the KS X ISO 1549 standards, which covers the principles of records management, to hospital medical records management and assess the current quality of medical records management, and define a few tasks of improvement for hospitals. To achieve this goal, this study has performed following activities: Firstly, principles that could be applied to medical records management were prepared for each record management steps described in the standards, such as capture, registration, classification, storage, access, trace and disposition, and 22 principles were selected from those 7 steps of the record management. Secondly, the Y hospital, which is affiliated with a medical school in Seoul, was chosen to evaluate the current situation regarding medical records management. The department head of the medical records management team in Y hospital was interviewed and the present status was evaluated according to each principle. Thirdly, tasks for improvement were suggested, in such stages as access, trace and disposition. With this study as a cornerstone, useful implications are expected to be gathered from future studies that apply standards for metadata of records, management systems for records, and record management systems to medical record management in hospitals.

The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the relationship of the perception of patient safety culture, knowledge of standard precaution and performance of standard precaution among long-term care hospital nurses. Participants were 134 nurse in long-term hospital. Data were collected with structured questionnaires from January 2 to June 4, 2018. Data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 21.0 program for descriptive statistics t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The perception of patient safety culture were significantly correlated with knowledge of standard precaution(r=.192, p=.027), performance of standard precaution(r=211, p=.014). Therefore, in order to enhance the perception of patient safety culture and performance of standard precaution of long-term care hospital nurses, it would be necessary to enable health-care associated infections by themselves by cultivating standard precaution knowledge through systemic education and by enabling the establishment of affirmative patient safety culture.

The purpose of this study was to identify blood and body fluids exposure, and factors influencing compliance with standard precautions among nurses. Participants consisted of 144 nurses in three general hospitals located in C province. Data were collected using a questionnaire that consisted of awareness, compliance, safety environment and attitude toward standard precautions. A total of 40.3% of participants had been injured by syringes or sharp tools that had already been used for patients within the last 1 year 1.01 times. Moreover, 22.9% of participants had been exposed to blood and body fluid of patients 1.06 times within the last 1 year. The mean score for compliance with standard precautions was lower than its awareness. There was a significant correlation between compliance and awareness and a safe environment. Multiple regression revealed an adjusted $R^2$ of 0.166 with the awareness score serving as the major predictor variable for compliance of standard precautions. Therefore, it is necessary to develop strategies to apply to systemic and continuous education regarding standard precautions and to foster a safe environment to enhance nurses' compliance with standard precautions.

This study was to provide the basic data to raise the efficient practices that can reduce the Infection Prevention and Exposure by understanding the awareness, Performance degree of the Administrative Standard Guideline of Nosocomial Infection Control for Emergency Medical Technician students who are exposed to hospital infections while conducting clinical practice. After the study, the performance degree was lower than the awareness of the Performance degree of the Administrative Standard Guideline of Nosocomial Infection Control. And awareness and performance degree are have significant positive correlation, significant differences statistically(r=0.325, p=0.000). In the future, to improve the Performance degree of Nosocomial Infection Control for Emergency Medical Technician students, the continuing education programs and the curriculums should be performed in the practice agencies.
