Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare compliance with standard precautions of infection prevention between nurses at accredited Korean medicine hospitals and non-accredited Korean medicine hospitals.
Methods: Data were collected from a total of 138 participants (69 nurses from 3 accredited hospitals and 69 nurses from 3 non-accredited hospitals) in January of 2021 using structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analyses were carried using the SPSS Statistics 24.0 Program.
Results: Results showed that the scores of nurses’ compliance with standard precautions of infection prevention at accredited Korean medicine hospital (40.54±2.74) were significantly higher (p=.002) than the scores of nurses at the non-accredited Korean medicine hospitals (38.94±3.28). After controlling for covariates, the results were same. In addition, we found that scores of compliance with standard precaution for infection prevention in nurses at hospitals belong to university were significantly high compared to those of nurses at private hospitals. We also found that the scores of compliance with standard precaution for infection prevention in nurses with more than 5 years of experience were significantly higher than those of nurses with less than 3 years of experience (p=.039).
Conclusion: Nurses working at the accredited Korean medicine hospitals showed higher scores of compliance with standard precaution for infection prevention. Therefore, it is suggested that the participation in the hospital accreditation program should be encouraged for the Korean medicine hospitals.
