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.

This Study analyzed empirically how do brand value components of consumer perception side effect on receptive degree of product in extension types of vertical brand extension, and how does the difference of receptive degree among products of extension types be showed under the positive effect of brand value. First, brand awareness has positive effect on upward and downward extension, and receptive degree of product is higher in downward extension than upward extension. Second, brand association doesn't have positive effect on upward extension but has positive effect on downward extension. Third, perceived quality showed similar results to brand awareness. Only, receptive degree of upward extension product in high perceived quality is higher than in high brand awareness or in high brand association. Fourth, examining about interaction effect among brand value components, interaction effect between brand awareness and brand association exists in downward extension, interaction effect between brand awareness and perceived quality exists in upward and downward extension, and interaction effect between brand association and perceived quality exists in upward and downward extension. By this interaction effect, the difference of receptive degree among products of extension types grows larger.
