Abstract

The aim of the study is to investigate the awareness and practice of Standard Precautions towards Hospital Infection Control in Emergency medical technology students. Data were collected from 289 questionnaires from March 20, 2012 to April 25, 2012. The data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 for window(SPSS Inc, USA) with the level of significance as 0.05. According to the results, significant differences were shown in gender, infection control education and infection control educational institutions. The factors influencing the practice of standard precautions were found to be the times of the contact to blood, body fluid, mucus, or the skin with lesions and the cognition of standard precautions. Cognition level of the EMT students was high but the practice level was low. Based on the results of this study, it is proposed to develop an effective educational program to improve the cognition and practice, and to improve the cognition and practice of the standard precaution through the systematic and repetitive education and training.

본 연구는 응급구조(학)과 학생의 병원감염관리에 대한 표준지침 인지 및 수행을 파악하여, 감염관리 인식도를 높이고, 표준지침 인지 및 수행에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하고, 감염관리 교육의 기초자료로 활용하기 위하여 2012년 3월 20일부터 4월25일까지 충청도 소재 응급구조(학)과 재학생 중 임상실습을 마친 289명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 본 연구의 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0 for window(SPSS Inc, USA) 프로그램을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 성별, 감염관리 교육 경험, 감염관리 교육기관에 따른 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. 표준지침 수행에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 혈액, 체액, 점막, 또는 상처가 있는 피부에 접촉한 경험 횟수, 표준지침 인지의 순으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 표준지침에 대한 인지는 비교적 높은 반면 대부분의 영역과 항목에서 인지보다 수행이 낮았으며, 무경험의 비율이 높은 항목도 많았다. 따라서, 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 표준지침 인지 및 수행을 향상시킬 수 있는 효과적인 교육 프로그램의 개발이 필요하고, 체계적이고 반복적인 교육을 통해 표준지침 인지와 수행을 향상 시킬 필요가 있다고 본다.
