Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors affecting the carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infection control performance of nursing staff, who closely contact patients with CRE in long-term care hospitals.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. A total of 135 nursing staffs working in seven long-term care hospitals in the southern and northern areas of the K province in Korea were included. We measured the CRE infection control general characteristics, knowledge, perception, and performance.
Results: The main factors affecting the CRE infection control performance were education, knowledge, and perception. The model explained the 60.8% total variance in CRE infection control.
Conclusion: Appropriate infection control strategies should be prepared to provide high quality nursing care and prevent the spread of CRE infection in long-term care hospitals. Establishing an efficient infection control system in long-term care hospitals is necessary.
