Abstract

Aim: To determine how nurses' experiences with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic affected their knowledge, awareness, and compliance related to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea.

Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study.

Methods: A total of 247 nurses in South Korea participated in this study between May 10 and 19, 2023. An online self-report questionnaire was used to collect data on demographic and occupational characteristics, COVID-19 experience, knowledge, awareness, and compliance related to the use of PPE. Factors affecting compliance were analysed using hierarchical multiple linear regression.

Results: Mean age of the nurses was 31.92, and 94.3% were women. Most had a bachelor's degree or higher and the mean clinical experience as a nurse was 6.45 years. Knowledge of the use of PPE was 8.45 out of 10, awareness was 3.52 out of 5, and compliance was 4.28 out of 5. Knowledge and awareness were correlated with compliance related to PPE use. Awareness (β = 0.234, p < 0.001), knowledge (β = 0.218, p < 0.001), experience caring for COVID-19 patients (β = 0.234, p = 0.004), optional fourth dose vaccine (β = 0.150, p = 0.017), clinical experience (β = 0.140, p = 0.022), and COVID-19 infection control education (β = 0.115, p = 0.037) were found to have a significant impact on compliance.

Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses' knowledge and awareness of PPE use was a crucial factor in compliance. factors such as clinical experience, experience in caring for COVID-19 patients, optional vaccination, and completion of COVID-19 education also influenced compliance. We hope that these factors can provide a basis for developing training programs for nurses to respond to future emerging infectious diseases.

影响护士在 COVID-19 大流行期间使用个人防护设备的因素:一项横断面描述性研究。
目的:确定韩国护士在冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间的经历如何影响她们对个人防护设备(PPE)使用的了解、认识和遵守情况:描述性横断面研究:在 2023 年 5 月 10 日至 19 日期间,共有 247 名韩国护士参与了这项研究。研究采用在线自我报告问卷调查的方式,收集有关人口统计学和职业特征、COVID-19 经验、知识、意识以及与个人防护设备使用相关的依从性的数据。采用分层多元线性回归分析了影响依从性的因素:护士的平均年龄为 31.92 岁,94.3% 为女性。大多数护士拥有本科或以上学历,平均临床经验为 6.45 年。对使用个人防护设备的了解程度为 8.45 分(满分为 10 分),认知程度为 3.52 分(满分为 5 分),遵守程度为 4.28 分(满分为 5 分)。知识和意识与个人防护设备使用的依从性相关。认知度(β = 0.234,P在 COVID-19 大流行期间,护士使用个人防护设备的知识和意识是影响依从性的关键因素。临床经验、护理 COVID-19 患者的经验、可选疫苗接种以及完成 COVID-19 教育等因素也影响了依从性。我们希望这些因素能为制定护士培训计划提供依据,以应对未来新出现的传染病。
