ABSTRACT
Purpose@#The purpose of this study was to investigate the levels and the relationship of emergency nurses’ organizational culture and fatigue for infection control, and infection control compliance of COVID-19. @*Methods@#Data was collected from 114 nurses caring for patients suspected of COVID-19 at two emergency medical centers in Gyeonggi-do and Seoul June 18-July 23, 2021. @*Results@#Emergency nurses caring for patients suspected of COVID-19 suffered from high fatigue for infection control. The mean scores of the organizational culture and fatigue for infection control, and infection control compliance of COVID-19 were 51.80 ± 8.37 of 70 points, 78.46 ± 12.28 of 100 points and 71.02 ± 7.84 of 80 points, respectively. The higher infection control compliance of COVID-19 is significantly related to the higher organizational culture for infection control (r = .42, p < .001). @*Conclusion@#In the COVID-19 pandemic, the formation of a positive organizational culture for infection control may be a priority as a major strategy to improve the infection control compliance of emergency nurses. It is also necessary to manage the high level of fatigue for infection control among emergency nurses.
