“…간호사는 병원에서 가장 다수를 차지하는 의료 인력이며 환자들과 직접 접촉이 많고 다양한 업 무에 참여하고 있어서 병원감염 예방에 중요한 역할을 담당한다 [12]. 그러므로 간호사의 감염관리 에 대한 올바른 지식과 인지를 바탕으로 한 적극적인 실천이 무엇보다 중요하며 [13], 감염관리 수 행도를 높이기 위한 다양한 교육과 연구가 활발히 이루어져야 할 것이다.…”

“…Knowledge among employess regarding infection control and prevention (IPC) in the LTCHs seems to be poor. Previous studies showed that infection control managers in LTCHs needed education on IPC [14,15]. The IPC team in my hospital should have educated nurses about the basics, such as disinfection, as well as putting on and takin off PPE.…”

Clusters of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) have been widely reported in Korea and around the world. COVID-19 has a high mortality rate, and older patients and those with underlying diseases are at particularly high risk of being infected. Outbreaks in LTCFs, where many high-risk patients reside, result in the occupation of beds meant for severely ill patients and even death in many patients. Long-term care hospitals (LTCH) are major LTCFs in Korea. Therefore, it is very important to protect patients in LTCHs from COVID-19. The reality is that preparedness for COVID-19 in LTCHs is inadequate, and there are barriers to improvements in preparedness. Through institutional improvement and policy support, the government should help healthcare personnel and LTCHs improve installation and raise the level of knowledge of infection prevention and control. With these improvement, prevention, surveillance, and screening for COVID-19 should be done and a response system to the COVID-19 outbreak should be established. There are many challenges that must be overcome to meet the goals proposed in this article. This may be possible only with a spirit of solidarity and cooperation of government, public and private healthcare facilities.

“…The major predictors of implementing infection control practice include low levels of social and psychological stress (Yoon, 2020), high levels of infection control knowledge (Kwon & Lee, 2021; Limbu et al, 2020), and positive attitude (Chang & Park, 2018). Furthermore, infection control performance was affected by prior infection control education, high education level (Jung & Jung, 2013; Kim & Kim, 2017), prior experience with caring for COVID‐19 patients, and clinical career (Haghighi et al, 2020; Yoon, 2020).…”

“…These hospitals provide care for patients who do not have severe symptoms, but require isolation. As these patients are isolated from the outside world, nurses most frequently come into contact with them, and they may also have a direct impact on patients' health and recovery (Jung & Jung, 2013). However, the system was launched without adequate preparation and personnel training.…”

This study aimed to identify the stress level, knowledge, attitude, and infection control performance of nurses at long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) designated for infectious disease management and to investigate factors contributing to infection control performance. A total of 178 nurses who had worked for at least 1 month at seven LTCHs designated for infectious disease management and provided care for patients confirmed with COVID-19 were enrolled in the study. Data were collected from February to March 2022 using written and online self-report questionnaires. COVID-19 infection control performance was higher among married than among single participants (t = À3.71, p < 0.001), among those aged 40-49 versus 30-39 years (F = 4.10, p = 0.003), and those with 1-2, 3-4, or ≥5 sessions versus no prior education (F = 6.41, p < 0.001). COVID-19 infection control performance was negatively correlated with stress (r = 0.26, p < 0.001) and positively correlated with knowledge (r = 0.40, p < 0.001) and attitude toward COVID-19 (r = À0.36, p < 0.001). Stress (β = À0.17, p = 0.012), knowledge of COVID-19 (β = 0.28, p < 0.001), attitude toward COVID-19 (β = 0.20, p = 0.004), and marital status (β = 0.18, p = 0.009) were identified as predictors of COVID-19 infection control performance.
