This study is a qualitative study conducted to provide basic data for therapists working in long-term care hospitals to improve their countermeasure strategies for new infectious diseases and improvement of the treatment room infection management system, and to help therapists understand their infection management work. Colaizzi's phenomenological research method was applied as the research method. Telephone interviews were conducted with nine occupational therapists and physical therapists working in nursing hospitals. The contents of the interview were recorded with the consent of the study subjects, and additional confirmation was received by email. The recorded content was analyzed after transcription, and the meaning and nature of the experience coping with COVID-19 were described. The content was organized into 6 themes, 17 main meaning and 49 meaning units. In accordance with the COVID-19 situation, the infection control system has been strengthened by reinforcing infection control education in nursing hospitals, practicing infection control, and supervising infection control outside business hours. It was found that the treatment environment was changed due to the restriction of treatment activities by practicing distancing in the treatment room, adjusting rest and meal times during working hours, and strengthening infection control. In addition, the therapist's role has been expanded and the paradigm of treatment has changed, such as considering the untact intervention, and they have experienced cohort quarantine, pre-tested for COVID-19, vaccinations, and side effects from COVID-19. However, due to the infection work, the therapist's work burden is increased, and the person is experiencing fear, depression, and work stress from the spread of COVID-19. They were also aware of the need for nursing hospital care personnel support, such as guaranteeing rest after vaccination and providing infection control tools and equipment. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for human and physical support for the development of infectious disease response strategy programs in nursing hospital treatment rooms and for infection control in nursing hospitals.

This study was carried out to provide basic data for the development of an educational program by assessing the its effects on the MDROs infection management performances of nurses at general hospitals. Data was obtained through a structured questionnaire survey conducted on 202 nurses. The average of knowledge score was 17.68 and their perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and performances had correlation. There was difference in their performances in accordance with their general characteristics including marriage, clinical experiences, positions, and affiliated department. Factors that affected MDROs infection management performance included perceived benefits and affiliated department with an explanation power of 35%. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize the benefits by including advantages and effects of performing the MDROs infection control at the time of the development. In addition, nurses are required to have MDROs infection control education.

본 논문에서는 GIS를 이용하여 국내 고병원성 조류인플루엔자(HPAI) 발생 농가를 대상으로 HPAI 감염 및 확산에 영향을 미치는 여러 인자와의 연관성을 분석한다. 인자는 크게 철새에 기인한 1차 감염과 사람에 기인한 2차 감염으로 나눈다. 전자는 철새 이동경로, 철새 도래지, 후자는 고속도로, HPAI 발생 농가 간 거리를 분석한다. 분석 시 거리는 500m(관리지역), 3km(보호지역), 10km(예찰지역)으로 설정하고, ArcGIS 프로그램을 사용하였다.

Respiratory viruses (RVs) cause infections in hospital environments through direct contact with infected visitors. In infection control, it causes major problems of acquired infections in hospitals by respiratory viruses. The surveillance data derived from clinical laboratories are often used to properly allocate medical resources to hospitals and communities for treatment, consumables, and diagnostic product purchases in the institutions and public health sectors that provide health care. An early diagnosis is essential in infection with respiratory viruses, and methods that can be used in diagnostic methods using respiratory samples include virus culture, molecular diagnosis, and analysis. A microchip provides a new strategy for developing a more diverse and powerful technology called point-of-care testing. The importance of the respiratory system should be applied strictly to the infection control guidelines to ensure the occupational health and safety of health care workers. Evidence of clinical efficacy, including this study, is challenging the long-standing paradigm for infection propagation. Additional assistance will be needed for frequent tests to detect respiratory viruses in inpatients who have begun to show new respiratory symptoms indicating infections requiring efforts to control the infection.

음료수나 음식물이 가장 중요한 병원체의 매개물로 이 경우 소화기를 통해 감염이 이루어지게 된다. 이 범주에 드는 전염병으로는 수인성 전염병과 식중독등 음식물에 야기되는 질병이 포함되며 열대지방으로 이동시 기생충성 질환으로서 음식물을 통해 감염되는 각종 질환을 소개하여 국민 건강관리에 증진코자 한다.

We examined the infestation rate of head and/or body lice in patients in a mental hospital, Seoul, Korea on June 27-28, 1988. Of 438 women, 146 (33.3%) were positive with nits or worms of louse. Of 143 men, 22 (15.4%) were positive with those of louse . Regular control programs were necessary to this hospital.

Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) has been provided not only manual of managing infectious patient but also functional requirement of space in emergency department(ED) by distributing "Guideline for infection control in emergency department(GICED)" in 2009. To understand how much the guideline enforces its functional requirement on ED planning practice, it is compared to Emergency Medical Service Act(EMSA) a basic standard for ED planning. As a result, it is clear that those have different focal point in functional program and don't share infection control issue. By reviewing target hospitals' EDs opened around 2009, all ED have satisfied with the EMSA requirement but guideline. Those are selectively adapted infection control related spaces CDC guideline suggested regardless of open year so that target EDs are not to be influenced by the guideline. This research can support as a reference research when the EMSA are going to be reinforced by infection contol issue.
