|
|
Background: The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of nurses’ knowledge and health beliefs on infection control performance with regard to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Methods: The subjects of the research were 256 nurses working at three different university hospitals, and the survey was progressed from February 9, 2021 to March 18, 2021. The survey measured the subject’s general characteristics, knowledge, and health beliefs about COVID- 19, and the infection control performance of the COVID-19.
Results: The knowledge, perceived severity, and perceived benefit showed a significant correlation with the in- fection control performance. The three factors affecting the infection control performance were the nursing ex- perience of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients, knowledge of COVID-19, and perceived benefit.
Conclusions: In order to improve the infection control performance of COVID-19, it is essential to establish in- fection control strategies enhancing experience, knowledge, and perceived benefit in terms of COVID-19.
