Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of infection control and associated factors among 119 rescue crews.
Methods: Using convenience sampling methods, 119 rescue crews in Gwangju were selected. General characteristics, infection-related factors, awareness and performance of infection control were collected using self-reported questionnaires. Descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis were performed to determine the performance of infection control and associated factors.
Results: The mean score of infection control performance was 4.17±0.47. Of all 7 performance domains, mean score of personal protection domain was the lowest. In multiple regression analysis, performance score was significantly low in level 2 EMT (β=-0.177, p=0.049). On the other hand, infection control performance were significantly high in subjects with experience of infection prevention education (β=0.145, p=0.032) and with higher awareness score of infection control (β=0.472, p<0.001).
Conclusion: Mean performance scores of infection control were high (>3) for all performance domain. And it was associated with license type, education experience and awareness of infection control. Appropriate education and improv-ing of infection control awareness can be helpful in increasing the performance of infection control.
