초록

본 연구의 목적은 의료기관에서 환자가 퇴원하는 병실을 대상으로 직접관찰과 형광표지를 이용하여 환경감시 활동을 통한 환경관리의 효과를 평가하기 위해 시도되었다. 본 연구는 2023년 3월부터 7월까지 병동과 중환자실 퇴실병상을 집중적 환경감시 활동 시행 전 448곳과 시행 후 494곳을 평가대상으로 하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 직접관찰은 집중적인 환경감시 활동 시행전 95.2%, 시행후 98.9%으로 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였다. 형광표지는 집중적인 환경감시 활동 시행 전 96.1%, 시행 후 98.0%으로 미검출율이 증가하였으나 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 직접관찰과 형광표지 뿐만 아니라 다양한 환경평가방법을 적용하여 환경관리 효과를 평가하는 것이 필요하다.

This study aims to assess how effective environmental management can be accomplished through monitoring of environmental conditions in patient discharge rooms within healthcare facilities through direct observation and the use of fluorescent markers. From March to July 2013, this study evaluated 448 check-out beds in wards and intensive care units before and 494 after intensive environmental monitoring activities. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 program. According to the study's findings, direct observation increased from 95.2% prior to the implementation of intensive environmental monitoring activities to 98.9% following the implementation, which was statistically significant. The non-detection rate of fluorescent markers exhibited an increase from 96.1% prior to the commencement of intensive environmental monitoring activities to 98.0% following their implementation. However, it should be noted that this observed increase was not deemed statistically significant. In light of the results of this research, it is imperative to evaluate the effectiveness of environmental management by employing a variety of assessment methods, including direct observation and fluorescent markers.
