이 연구의 목적은 일부 대학생들의 신종 감염병에 대한 예방인식을 조사 분석하여 향후 대학생들이 감염병 예방을 위한 올바른 실천행동을 형성하는데 정책의 기초자료로 사용되고자 한다. 경북 소재 일개 대학에서 2018년 4월 30일부터 5월 11일까지 자기기입식 설문지를 활용해 신종감염병에 대한 심각성, 민감성, 자기효능감, 예방행동의도를 조사 분석하였다. 일반적 특성 및 건강행태를 통제한 후 신종감염병의 예방행동의도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사 분석하여 살펴보니 최종 모형인 Model 2에서 첫째, 심각성이 높을수록 ${\beta}=.125$, 둘째, 자기효능감이 높을수록 ${\beta}=.709$만큼 예방행동의도가 점차 증가하였다. 하지만 셋째, 민감성은 유의한 영향을 전혀 미치지 않았다. 마지막으로 신종감염병 예방행동의도에 있어 이론 및 실제적으로 민감성도 중요하게 적용되어야 하는 요소인데 민감성이 영향을 미치는 요인이 아니었다는 것은 신종감염병의 이환에 대해 위험성이나 두려움이 낮아 질병안전에 대한 불감증이 존재하는 것으로 생각되어 보다 민감성을 높여줄 수 있는 질병예방 정책을 앞으로 마련해야 할 것으로 보인다.

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections have increased rapidly over the past decade and are recognized as a severe health threat in Korea and worldwide. This study aimed to identify the status and characteristics of CRE infection in Jeju province and provide important basic data for the prevention and management of CRE infection. A descriptive epidemiological analysis was performed on reported cases of CRE infection in Jeju Province between 2018 and 2021 using the integrated management system for disease, an infectious disease reporting system from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency. The annual difference and distribution trends of CRE infection were analyzed using CRE isolates, carbapenemase-producing CREs (CP-CRE) and their genotypes, and the type of medical institution in Jeju Province. CRE infections steadily increased in Jeju from 2018 to 2021, and the proportion of CP-CRE among the CREs also showed a statistically significant increase each year. Among the CRE isolates, Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC, 62.13%) was the most common, and among the CP-CRE genotypes, KPC (81.62%) showed the highest distribution and increased each year. As the distribution of CP-CRE in have increased over the past 4 years, measures to prevent the spread and outbreak of CRE infections are warranted. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for prevention and management of CRE infections in the province.
