Purpose: This study aims to conduct an integrated literature review of infection control studies conducted by nursing care workers in long-term care facilities in Korea.
Methods: Through the domestic search engines RISS and KISS, seven articles were selected by searching for theses and academic journals published in Korea from 2008 to January 2020.
Results: In total, six research studies and one intervention study out of seven studies were analyzed. Measurement tools for examining the knowledge and performance of infection-related care workers consisted of skin infection, aspiration pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and hand hygiene. Factors affecting nursing care workers¡¯ infection management performance were infection management knowledge, education level, health status, and importance awareness.
Conclusion: This study showed it is necessary to develop a tool that can accurately measure nursing care workers¡¯ infection management knowledge and performance. In addition, it is necessary to develop an intervention program for nursing care workers¡¯ infection control.
