Abstract

The study investigated the perception and experience of infection control targeting dental users. During July-August 2020, 198 adults over the age of 20 were surveyed on general characteristics, infection control awareness and experience, and improvement. Analysis was performed using PASW Statistics ver 18.0. The research results, 91% of dental users recognized that infection control was important. In the recognition of infection control were highly investigated oral treatment equipment sterilization, hand hygiene and glove replacement before and after treatment by dental staff. And dental users was relatively low the replacement of disposable gowns and safety glasses for each patient by medical staff. The dental staff are doing well in personal protection and instrument sterilization. Surface disinfection and water quality management needed improvement. It was meaningful to suggest improvement in infection control based on the perception and experience from the perspective of dental users. It is expected to be used as basic data necessary for high-quality medical services through infection control in dental medical institutions.

본 연구목적은 치과이용자를 대상으로 감염관리 인식과 경험을 조사하고 치과 감염관리 개선을 제언하고자 하였다. 2020년 7-8월, 20세 이상 198명을 대상으로 일반적 특성, 감염관리 인식과 경험, 개선안에 관한 설문조사를 하였고, PASW Statistics ver 18.0으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 치과 이용자 91%가 감염관리 중요성을 인식하였고, 감염관리 인식에서 진료기구 멸균, 의료진 손 위생과 장갑교체가 높게 조사되었다. 의료진의 일회용가운 및 보안경 교체는 상대적으로 낮게 조사되었다. 치과 의료진의 개인방호와 기구멸균은 수행을 잘하고 있다고 인식하였고 표면소독과 수질관리는 개선이 요구되었다. 연구를 통해 치과이용자 관점의 감염 인식과 경험을 토대로 감염관리 개선을 제언하는데 의미가 있었고 치과 의료기관에서 질 높은 의료서비스 수행에 필요한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
