Abstract

Most of the nurses’ duties require direct contact with patients. Nurses with a high vulnerability to COVID-19 should have the self-awareness to reduce and avoid the risk of infection transmission. It is significant to know the factors that influence the practice of infection prevention and control in nurses while treating COVID-19 patients. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the practice of infection prevention and control in nurses. This study was a descriptive survey conducted in 4 hospitals in Makassar City, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, with a sample of 360 nurses in January-June 2021. The data were analyzed using the canonical multivariate test. This study finds a strong correlation between the self-labeling of nurses as at-risk individuals [.703] and taking actions [.707]. In addition, there is a strong correlation between self-justification [.925] and obtaining remedies [.995], and there is a strong correlation between commitment [.791] and information seeking [.884] [ρ= < .05]. Strengthening the commitment and self-labeling of nurses as individuals at risk of being exposed to COVID-19 is very important for infection prevention and control practices.

新冠肺炎大流行期间护士决定性感染预防与控制实践

护士的大部分职责都需要与病人直接接触。易感染新冠肺炎的护士应该有自我意识，以减少和避免感染传播的风险。了解影响新冠肺炎患者感染预防和控制实践的因素具有重要意义。本研究旨在确定影响护士感染预防和控制实践的因素。这项研究是一项描述性调查，于2021年1月至6月在印度尼西亚南苏拉威西省望加锡市的4家医院进行，样本为360名护士。使用规范多变量检验对数据进行分析。本研究发现，护士自我标记为高危个体[.703]和采取行动[.707]之间存在强烈的相关性。此外，自我辩护[.925]和获得补救措施[.995]之间也存在强烈的关联，承诺[.791]和信息寻求[.884][ρ=<.05]之间有很强的相关性。加强护士作为有接触新冠肺炎风险的个人的承诺和自我标签对于感染预防和控制实践非常重要。
