이 연구는 코로나19 팬데믹 상황이후 치과감염관리실태를 알아보고자 시행하였다. 치과위생사들을 대상으로 코로나19에 관한 지식과 감염관리인식, 감염관리실행정도를 파악하고, 이들 사이의 연관성을 측정하였다. 일반적 질문 9개, 코로나19 지식 10개, 감염관리에 대한 인식과 실행에 관한 36개 문항으로 이루어진 설문지를 이용하여, 2021년 5월 1일부터 31일까지 조사된 120부를 분석하였다. 분석을 위하여 T검정, 분산분석, 피어슨의 상관관계를 이용하였다. 연구결과, 코로나19 지식은 10점 중 6.59점, 감염관리 인식은 4점 중 3.57점, 감염관리 실행은 4점중 3.55점이었다. 코로나19 지식과 감염관리 실행은 0.485 양의 상관관계, 감염관리 인식과 감염관리 실행은 0.614 양의 상관관계로 코로나19 지식보다 상관관계가 유의미하게 높았다. 코로나19와 같은 감염병을 차단하기 위해서는, 치과에서 치과위생사들에게 감염관리에 대한 교육을 의무화하고, 치과감염관리 매뉴얼에 따라 감염관리 실행을 의무화해야 할 것이다.

Abstract ▼ AI-Helper

This study was conducted to evaluate the association between knowledge of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), perception of infection control and practice of infection control among dental hygienists. The questionnaires consisted of 9 demographic questions, 10 questions about COVID-19 knowledge, and 36 questions about perception and practice of infection control. The study analyzed 120 participants' data gathered from May 1 to May 31, 2021. For data analysis, T-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation were used. As a result, COVID-19 knowledge was 6.59 out of 10, the perception of infection control was 3.57 out of 4 and the practice of infection control was 3.55 out of 4. The COVID-19 knowledge(r=0.485) and perception of infection control(r=0.614) were significantly positively related to practice of infection control. To improve the practice of infection control in the dental field, education of infection control should be mandatory for dental hygienists. Also, the practice of infection control following "Dental Infection Control Standard Policy & Procedure" must be mandatory.

제안 방법

For questions related to perception of infection control, participants responded according to a four-point scale: 1 'not at all important', 2 'not important', 3 'important', 4 'very important', with high score indicating better infection control perception.
The purpose of this study was to verify the relationship between practice of infection control, perception of infection control, and knowledge of COVID-19 among dental hygienists.
This study investigated the relationship between knowledge of COVID-19, perception of infection control, and infection control practice among dental hygienists. There were positive correlations between COVID-19 knowledge and perception of infection control, and between COVID-19 knowledge and infection control practices, and between perception of infection control and practice of infection control.

대상 데이터

Participants were given a questionnaire to self-assess their knowledge of COVID-19, perception of infection control, and their current infection control practices. Participants were gathered from a pool of 16 persons from general hospitals, 25 persons from dental hospitals, and 79 persons from dental clinics. Questionnaires were distributed and collected from May 1 to May 31, 2021.
80. The number of samples required was 118 persons, but considering the dropout rate, data were collected from 120 people.

According to demographic factors, participants’ degree of knowledge of COVID-19, perception of infection control, infection control practice were conducted by T-test and ANOVA

성능/효과

A total of 18 questions in six categories of three questions each were related to infection control perception: personal hygiene, personal protection equipment usage, sterilization and sterilization management, disposal of single-use medical supplies, dental equipment management, and waste management. For questions related to perception of infection control, participants responded according to a four-point scale: 1 'not at all important', 2 'not important', 3 'important', 4 'very important', with high score indicating better infection control perception.
05). Additionally, there was a positive correlation (r=.614) between perception of infection control and practice of infection control. (p<.
As a limitation of this study, the segmentation of dental workers was insufficient, and convenience extraction and difficulty evaluation of COVID-19 knowledge were insufficient. In the future, continuous research is required for improving infection control practice and systematic management in the dental medical community.
In terms of age, the perception of infection control was 3.57±0.32 for participants aged 30 years and younger
In terms of education experience about infection control, the practice of infection control was 3.66±0.19 for participants with infection control training
In terms of workplace environment, infection practice control was 3.70±0.21 for 81 or more patients per day, and significantly higher than those of 21-40 patients and 41-60 patients
In terms of workplace, the perception of infection control was 3.68±0.15 for participants working in general hospitals
In terms of workplace, the practice of infection control was 3.76±0.14 for general hospital workers, and significantly higher than those of dental clinic workers and dental hospital workers
In the case of taking infection control education, it was 3.65±0.27 and significantly higher than those with no education experience
Our results indicated that infection control practices was strongly related to perception of infection control than COVID-19 knowledge in dental hygienists. Therefore, it is necessary to plan and operate an infection control education program focusing on changing perception of infection control and practicing infection control for dental hygienists to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and to create a safe working environment.
After explaining the purpose of the study to dental hygienists working at dental clinics or hospitals, we received written consent from subjects who indicated their intention to participate in a survey. Participants were given a questionnaire to self-assess their knowledge of COVID-19, perception of infection control, and their current infection control practices. Participants were gathered from a pool of 16 persons from general hospitals, 25 persons from dental hospitals, and 79 persons from dental clinics.
Pearson's correlation analyses were applied to the relationships between COVID-19 knowledge, perception of infection control, and infection control practice.
The demographic questions included gender, age, years employed in dental hygiene, highest academic degree, type of workplace, and workplace position. There were three questions about the workplace, which included the number of hygienists working per day, the number of patients treated per day, the presence or absence of infection control practices.
27 and significantly higher than those with no education experience. The general characteristics including education level, type of work place, number of patients per a day, and infection control education experience, were significantly different (Table 2).
The perception of infection control among team leaders was 3.60±0.28
The perception of infection control in the case of 41-60 patients per a day is the lowest as 3.43±0.30, It was significantly low compared to the case of 20 patients or less
The practice of infection control was 3.55±0.22 for 30 years or younger, and 3.65±0.14 for participants with a 16 years or more career, and 3.66±0.51 for persons who got education beyond graduate school
The practice of infection control was 3.66±0.22 for team leaders, 3.78±0.09 in case of working with 31 or more co-workers
The results indicated that infection control practices was strongly related to perception of infection control than COVID-19 knowledge in dental hygienists. Therefore, it is necessary to plan and operate an infection control education program focusing on changing perception of infection control and practicing infection control for dental hygienists to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and to create a safe working environment.
There was a positive correlation (r=.405) between COVID-19 knowledge and perception of infection control (p<0.01), and a positive correlation (r=.485) between COVID-19 knowledge and practice of infection control (p<0.05)
27 for workers with infection control training. There was no significant result in COVID-19 knowledge according to demographic characteristics (Table 1).
