Abstract

Objective : The aim of this study was to investigate the status of infection for infectious diseases and infection control in occupational therapy. Methods : This study was implemented through the survey composed of the status of infection for infectious disease and the infection control and awareness of the infection control. The duration of survey was a month, June, 2016. 111 occupational therapists in 23 room of occupational therapy completed a survey. Results : 34.8% of occupational therapy room experienced the infectious diseases. This study showed the occupational therapists have high performance in almost items of infection control. But the occupational therapist showed the low performance in the items including 'Washing hands over than 15 seconds', 'Washing hands before and after wearing gloves', 'Wearing mask during treatment', 'Throwing away mask after using' and 'Washing your uniform separate from other cloths'. Almost occupational therapists think infection control is important and the education for infection control is needed in occupational therapy. But most of the education is implemented in only medical institution. Conclusion : To improve performance in infection control, individual effort of occupational therapists and institutional strategies are needed. This study will use as basic data for the education about infection control aimed at the occupational therapists.

목적 : 부산 지역 내 작업치료사를 대상으로 작업치료실의 감염성 질환 감염 실태와 감염예방 관리 실태에 관하여 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 2016년 6월 한 달 동안 감염성 질환 감염 실태, 감염예방 관리 및 감염관리 인식도의 네 파트로 구성된 설문지를 부산 지역 내 작업치료실 23 곳, 작업치료사 111명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 결과 : 34.8%의 의료기관에서 작업치료사들이 옴, 결핵, C-diffficile, MRSA, HFM 등의 감염성 질환을 경험하였다. 작업치료사는 대부분의 감염예방 관리 항목에서 수행도가 높으나, '15초 이상 손 씻기'와 '장갑 착용 전 후에 손 씻기', '치료 시 마스크 착용'과 '사용한 마스크 즉각 버리기', '화장실 이용 시 시트 클리너 사용하기' 에서 낮은 수행도를 보였다. 그 외 '피, 침, 고름 및 분비물로 오염된 세탁물을 일반 세탁물과 분리 세탁하기'항목에서 낮은 수행도를 보였다. 또한 대부분의 작업치료사는 작업치료 임상에서 감염관리 교육은 중요하고 교육이 필요하다고 인식하고 있지만 현재 감염교육은 대부분 근무처에서만 이루어지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결론 : 감염예방 관리 수행 향상을 위해서는 치료사 개인의 노력이 필요할 뿐만 아니라, 제도적인 뒷받침이 이루어져야 한다. 또한 본 연구는 차후, 작업치료사들을 대상으로 하는 감염관리 교육 시, 활용할 수 있는 기초자료가 될 수 있을 것이다.
