Abstract

방사선사들의 병원감염 예방지침의 인식정도와 그 수행 능력 정도를 알아보고 병원감염관리의 개선 및 방사선사의 감염관리 교육을 위한 기초 자료를 얻고자 하였다. C대학병원에 근무하고 있는 방사선사 84명(평균연령 41세, 남 61명, 여 23명)을 대상으로 일반적 특성 10문항, 병원감염관련 문항 10문항, 병원감염관리 인지도 측정도구 24문항, 병원감염관리 수행도 측정도구 24문항, 임파워먼트는 12문항으로 방사선사에 맞게 수정 보완하였다. 연구대상자의 연령, 근무경력이 높을수록 병원감염에 대한 인지도와 수행도는 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 연구대상자의 병원감염 특성에서 감염관리 수행을 실천하지 못한 이유는 업무과다 (42.9%), 지식부족 (17.8%), 시간부족 (16.7%) 순이었다. 연구 대상자의 병원감염관리에 대한 인지도, 수행도, 임파워먼트간의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 인지도와 수행도(r=0.476), 인지도와 임파워먼트(r=0.276), 수행도와 임파워먼트(r=0.459)가 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.05). 연구대상자의 병원감염관리에 대한 수행도에 영향을 주는 요인은 임파워먼트가 높을수록 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). The aim of this study was to investigate the peculiarity of awareness, performance and empowerment of RTs and to find out the relationship between the levels of awareness, performance and empowerment and nosocomial infection control. A total of 84 RTs, which were working at C University Hospital in Gwangju city, were participated in this survey study. A final questionnaire consisted of total 80 items including the general characteristics(10), nosocomial infection(10), awareness level(24), performance level of the prevention of nosocomial infection(24) and empowerment scale(12). The levels of awareness and performance for prevention of nosocomial infection was significantly higher in senior RTs (p<0.05). The response about the content of 'no performance of infection control were excessive work(42.9%), lack of knowledge(17.8%) and insufficiency of time(16.7%), respectively. The association among awareness level, performance level and empowerment score for the prevention of nosocomial infection, it showed positive correlations as follows: awareness vs. performance level (Pearson's coefficient <TEX>${\gamma}=0.476$</TEX>), awareness vs. empowerment (<TEX>${\gamma}=0.276$</TEX>) and performance vs. empowerment (<TEX>${\gamma}=0.459$</TEX>) (p<0.05). The factor that effected on performance was empowerment (p<0.05).
