Purpose: The study was done to examine hemodialysis unit nurses' knowledge on blood-borne infections, compliance and barriers to control and predictors of compliance. Methods: A descriptive correlational study was conducted with 122 nurses from hemodialysis units. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The data collection period was May to September, 2017. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. Results: The mean score for knowledge on blood-borne infections was $15.41{\pm}2.01$ out of 19 and the compliance with blood-borne infection control was $4.08{\pm}0.49$ out of 5. Barriers to the performance of blood-borne infections control were lack of time and personal protective devices. Knowledge on blood-borne infection did not correlate with compliance on blood-borne infection control (r=.13, p=.171). Predictors of compliance on blood-borne infections control were 1) infection control education on injuries caused by injection needles (${\beta}=.23$, p=.010), 2) infection control room (${\beta}=.24$, p=.006) and 3) blood exposure experience over the past week (${\beta}=-.24$, p=.005) and explained 22.2% of the variance (F=10.81, p<.001). Conclusion: Findings suggest that to improve the performance of blood-borne infectious disease management, customized education for nurses on blood-borne infection and systematic support related to the infection control room should be given priority.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors affecting the carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infection control performance of nursing staff, who closely contact patients with CRE in long-term care hospitals. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. A total of 135 nursing staffs working in seven long-term care hospitals in the southern and northern areas of the K province in Korea were included. We measured the CRE infection control general characteristics, knowledge, perception, and performance. Results: The main factors affecting the CRE infection control performance were education, knowledge, and perception. The model explained the 60.8% total variance in CRE infection control. Conclusion: Appropriate infection control strategies should be prepared to provide high quality nursing care and prevent the spread of CRE infection in long-term care hospitals. Establishing an efficient infection control system in long-term care hospitals is necessary.

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.

Purpose: In the nursing profession, it is imperative that students are able to transfer their undergraduate knowledge and skills into practice to become competent nurses. The aim of this study was to illuminate how infection prevention and control (IPC) education would be conducted in undergraduate nursing programs. Methods: A qualitative design utilizing focus group interviews as its data collection method was employed. Twelve professors from twelve South Korean universities that have undergraduate nursing programs were recruited as research participants and divided into two focus groups. Results: Focus group interview analysis showed that IPC education in undergraduate nursing programs for fostering IPC competency was composed of two categories: a pre-clinical course and a clinical course. Each included three subcategories-education contents, education strategies, and considerations of how infection control is taught to students as they continue from beginning to advanced-and the themes of each subcategory were derived. Conclusions: The findings of this study can provide an overview of how nursing professors should teach IPC education to undergraduates. As IPC education for nurses is very important, more in-depth discussions that include educators, clinical mentors, and nursing students regarding IPC education are needed to ensure patients' safety in clinical settings.

Purpose: Infection management is important for physical therapists in order to protect patients and themselves since they often provide patient care and have physical contact with patients. This study examined the performance of infection control and associated factors among physical therapists. Methods: The study subjects were 174 physical therapists working in the G metropolitan city. The performance of infection control according to general characteristics, job-related characteristics, and infection-related characteristics were compared using t-test and ANOVA. Associations between awareness and performance of infection control were tested by correlation. Finally, multiple linear regression analyses were performed to examine the factors associated with performance of infection control. Results: Overall performance scores for personal and therapy room were $87.47{\pm}11.70$ and $70.08{\pm}13.68$, respectively. Both personal and therapy room infection control were lower for the degree of performance than the degree of awareness. In multiple linear regression analysis, the degree of performance at a personal level was related to current smoking status, type of charge therapy, supply of protection equipment, and awareness of personal infection control. The degree of performance of therapy room was related to injury experience in the workplace, supply of protection equipment, and awareness of therapy room infection control. Conclusion: Performance of therapy room infection control was lower than that of personal infection control. The performance was associated with the supply of protection equipment and awareness. Therefore, the degree of performance for infection control will be increased with proper supply of protection equipment in the hospital and increase the degree of awareness with adequate prevention education.

Objectives : Based on the system and control activity for the monitoring system made of components for infection control at dental hospitals and infection rate reporting, and the role of trained infection control staff, this study tried to understand approaches to the effective infection control program by surveying infection control at dental hospitals in Korea. Methods : The survey was conducted from December 14,2010 to January 31,2011 for 121 dental hospitals in Korea. For statistical analysis, PASW Statistic 18 was used. Results : And following conclusions were reached. 1. As for the infection control system at dental hospitals, 54.7% has an infection control committee, 58.7% infection control staff, 78.5% infection control rules, and 39.7% annual infection control plan and record. 2. As for surveillance indexes to report infection rates, 50.4% has the reporting system for staff's exposure to infectious disease and needle pricking. The average number of exposures to infectious disease was $0.28{\pm}2.23$ and that of needle pricking was $1.83{\pm}5.39$. 3. As for infection control indexes, it was reviewed whether infection control rules were implemented according to operation agents, general hospitals were more active in staff infection control, and hospitals annexed to a dental university or special legal entity were more active in microorganism control. As for use of personal protection gear, there was no significant difference among operation agents. More than 71% of operators and their assistants said they did not replace their masks between patients. 4. As for personnel indexes for effective infection control staff, most hospitals designated dental hygienists, which was followed by dental doctors (or doctors). Where their workload was reviewed, the ratio of other work such as treatment was relatively higher than that of infection control (n=71). Conclusions : These results show dental hospitals in Korea have a certain level of infection control system. As infection indexes are managed mainly for staff members, patient monitoring is needed, and trained and effective infection control staff should be designated. This study reviewed surveillance, infection control and personnel indexes. And further studies are needed in the future.
