Purpose: This study was performed to identify the affecting factors on hospital nurses’ practice of disinfection focused on alcohol, chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG), and povidone iodine (PVI).
Methods:The participants in this study were 196 nurses of 3 general hospitals and 2 upgrade general hospitals in 5 cities in Korea. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires in January, 2011. The collected data were analysed by ANOVA, Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS/WIN 18.0.
Results:The subjects used alcohol and PVI daily for intravenous site care and surgical wound dressing respectively. The mean percentage of awareness in practicing main disinfectants were 80.0% and 72.5% respectively. The awareness and practice were highest in alcohol, but lowest in CHG. The mean percentage of practice of disinfectants was 72.5%. There was positive correlation among awareness and practice of main disinfectants. The awareness and nurses’ salary explained 34.6% of variance in practice of disinfectants.
Conclusion: An educational program focusing on strategy to enhance hospital nurses’ awareness would be effective in improving their practice of disinfectants.
