Abstract

Abstract The importance of disease prevention and risks of infection for funeral workers is present but it has not been studied about disease prevention of funeral workers in Korea. Health cares of funeral workers in Korea live in poor surroundings, because it depends on only effort of Funeral home or workers. And nationwide survey and guideline made for the infection of funeral workers almost do not exist. We propose the guideline about high infectious disease, personal hygiene, physical and spatial management in Korea. We aim to exploit the guidelines in the control, or ideally the eradication, of the disease or infection conditions we are considering. This guidelines contain a guide to funeral director’s control procedures and equipment for infectious disease.Keywords : Disease prevention, Infection, Funeral workers, Funeral home, Guideline * 정회원, 을지대학교 장례지도학과(주저자) ** 정회원, 고려대학교 안암병원 장례식장 *** 정회원, 을지대학교 의료공학과(교신저자)접수일자: 2015년 5월 12일, 수정완료일자: 2015년 9월 18일 게재확정일자: 2015년 10월 16일Received: 12 May 2015 / Revised: 18 September 2015Accepted: 16 October 2015
