Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors influencing health workers' infection management behavior in long-term care facilities. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted with 180 health workers who are employed in long-term care facilities. The data were collected from April, 25 until July, in 2016. Results: Infection management behavior positively correlated with the perceived importance of infection management (r=.77, p<.001), but role conflict negatively correlated with infection management behavior (r=.28, p<.001). The hierarchical regression model with general characteristics (first step) and perceived importance of infection management, work environment, and role conflict (second step) against infection management behavior was statistically significant (F=31.93, p<.001). This model could explain 62.8% of infection management behavior ($R^2=.62$, ${\Delta}R^2=.39$). Particularly, perceived importance of infection management was identified as factors influencing infection management behavior(${\beta}=.70$, p<.001). Conclusion: The findings of this study imply that systemic education about infection control and monitoring should be considered, so as to encourage proper infection management behaviors among health workers in long-term care facilities.

제주지역 종합병원 감염관리 현황을 조사하여, 병원감염관리 실태와 문제점을 파악하고자 하였으며 감염관리의 중요성을 인식시키고 감염관리 실무자로서 임상병리사의 역할 방안을 모색하기 위하여 제주특별자치도 제주시와 서귀포시에 위치한 종합병원 7개 기관을 대상으로 감염관리 현황을 설문지를 통하여 조사하였다. 제주지역 의료기관의 감염관리는 모든 기관이 감염관리실을 운영하고 전담인력을 구성하고 병원감염관리지침을 보유하고 수행하는 우수한 점을 보였지만, 대부분의 기관이 간호사 1인 구성의 감염관리실을 운영하여 전담인력 확보 및 미생물 관련 배양 판독, 다제내성균의 출현빈도, 감염통계 등 미생물 검사에 대한 내용을 보고 받는데 많은 부분 어려움을 호소하였다. 이에 감염관리의 실질적인 업무를 담당할 수 있는 임상병리사가 의료법 시행규칙에 있는 감염관리에 경험과 지식이 있는 사람으로 충분한 자질과 경험이 있다고 생각되며 감염관리실을 운영함에 있어 감염관리간호사와 미생물에 전문적인 지식을 갖춘 임상병리사(감염관리임상병리사)가 전담자로서 업무를 수행한다면 지금보다 더욱 발전된 감염관리실 운영이 될 것으로 보이며, 향후 감염관리를 제대로 하기 위해서는 전국적으로 종합병원을 비롯한 취약한 중소병원의 감염관리에 대한 전폭적 지원과 감염관리 전문 의료시스템 도입이 중요한 과제라 사료된다.
