Abstract

This study is a descriptive study to investigate factors affecting the level of performance of COVID-19 infection prevention activities among nurses. The participants were 190 nurses at a tertiary hospital located in Daejeon city and data collection was performed during March, 2021. The results showed that the factors affecting the level of performance of infection prevention activities were age(β=.25, p=.008), working unit(β=.15, p=.046), and hospital safety climate(β=.17, p=.025). Therefore, in order to improve the level of performance of infection prevention activities among hospital nurses, education and policy to establish a hospital safety climate should be implemented.

본 연구는 병원간호사의 코로나바이러스감염증-19 감염예방행위 수행도의 영향요인을 규명하기 위해 시행된 서술적 조사연구이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 대전광역시에 소재한 상급종합병원 간호사 190명이며, 자료수집은 2021년 3월에 시행하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 감염예방행위 수행도에 미치는 영향요인으로 연령(β=.25, p=.008), 근무부서(β=.15, p=.046) 및 병원안전문화(β=.17, p=.025)로 나타났으며, 모형의 전체 설명력은 8.2%로 나타났다. 따라서 상급종합병원 간호사의 감염예방행위 수행도를 높이기 위해서는 병원안전문화 형성을 증진시킬 수 있는 교육과 정책이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
