This study is to develop an evaluation index for infection control and to verify its validity by examining each set of weighted data collected from 121infection control personnel at dental hospitals who agreed to the preliminary survey and advisory. The study was conducted from 14th December,2010 to 31st January, 2011, and PASW Statistics 18.0 and AMOS 5.0 had been used for the statistical data analysis. As a result of the study, five evaluation factors with 21 sub-indicators have been identified at structural level, eight evaluation factors with 32 sub-indicators at processing level,and one evaluation fact with five sub-indicators at resulting level, total 14 evaluation factors with 58 sub-indicators throughout all levels. The path analysis added on the result that ``standard precautions (χ1)``, ``infection control support system (χ2)``, ``internal and external characteristics (χ3)`` are exogenous variables that affect on other variables, and ``standard infection control (y1)``,``Organization equipment management handwashing (y2)``,``environmental infection control (y3), ``personal protective equipment (y4)``, ``waste and laundry management (y5)`` are endogenous variables that are infulenced by others. The standardized metrics are more needed than anything else when examining on infection control. This study attempts to develop proper dental infection control metrics adequately adjusted for domestic circumstances, and therefore to contribute to effective systematic management and decision-making in infection control.
