Abstract

This study surveyed the medical staffs in Busan with regard to their awareness and to their performances of infection control in health care facilities. As a result of the survey, the level of awareness and performances showed a high scale regardless of the relation to infection control department, infection control guidelines, and infection control education in the health care facilities. Especially, the group educated on the infection control had shown a statistically significant result of 0.001 in the awareness and performances. The main reasons to failure on infection control practice resulted with a heavy workload and a lack of time. Moreover, it is concluded that the self-consciousness on the infection control have increased in reason that the 99.7% responded a need to infection control education. In general, level of the performance analyzed lower than the level of awareness and it seems that reforming such policy feasible is needed and being active in performing infection control individually is necessary in order to decrease the nosocomial infection.

본 연구는 부산광역시 소재의 11개 병원에 근무하는 의료기관 종사자를 대상으로 병원감염관리 인지도와 수행도를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 병원 내 감염관리부서, 감염관리 지침서, 감염관리 교육의 유무에 관계없이 인지도, 수행도의 척도가 높게 나타났다. 특히, 감염교육을 받은 적이 있는 집단의 인지도, 수행도에서 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 보였다(p<0.001). 감염관리에 대한 수행을 실천하지 못하는 주된 원인은 업무과다와 시간부족으로 나타났으며, 99.7%의 응답자가 감염관리 교육이 필요하다고 답하여 사회 전반적으로 병원감염에 대한 경각심이 커진 것으로 판단된다. 전체적으로 인지도에 비해 수행도가 낮게 분석되었으며, 병원감염을 낮추기 위해서는 실현가능한 제도의 개선과 종사자 개인의 적극적인 수행이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
