Abstract

This study was conducted to find out the relationship between knowledge and attitudes about COVID-19 and infection control performance among college students in paramedicine. The subjects of the study were 154 university students attending a 3-4 year paramedicine located in Gwangju Metropolitan City, Jeollabuk-do Province, and the collected data were frequency, percentage, sum, average and It was analyzed by standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA(Scheffe), Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Linear Regression. The order of attitude and knowledge about COVID-19 affected the infection control performance of college students in the paramedicine. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and apply regular or non-regular curriculum and multidisciplinary curriculum that can improve knowledge and attitudes about COVID-19 in order to improve the infection control performance of paramedic students.

본 연구는 응급구조(학)과 대학생을 대상으로 코로나19에 대한 지식 및 태도와 감염관리 수행도 간의 관련성을 알아보기 위해 시행하였다. 연구 대상은 전라남북도, 광주광역시에 소재한 3-4년제 응급구조(학)과에 재학 중인 대학생 154명이고, 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 16.0을 이용하여 빈도와 백분율, 합(Sum), 평균 및 표준편차, t-test, ANOVA(Scheffe), Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, Multiple Linear Regression으로 분석하였다. 응급구조(학)과 대학생들의 감염관리 수행도에 코로나19에 대한 태도와 지식 순으로 영향을 미쳤다. 따라서 응급구조(학)과 대학생들의 감염관리 수행도를 높이기 위해 코로나19에 대한 지식 및 태도를 향상시킬 수 있는 정규 또는 비정규 교육과정, 다학제적 교육과정 개발 및 적용이 필요하다.
