Influences of Prevention Knowledge Regarding Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI), Workplace Learning, and Recognition of Infection Control Organization Culture on the Prevention Performance of CAUTI among Long-term Care Hospitals Nurses / 간호행정학회지

ABSTRACT

Purpose@#This study aimed to investigate factors affecting prevention performance of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) among long-term care hospital nurses. @*Methods@#The participants were 162 nurses in 11 long-term care hospitals. Data were collected from May 21 to June 4, 2021, using structured questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed with an independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, a one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple regression analysis. All analyses were performed using SPSS/WIN 26.0. @*Results@#The factors influencing the prevention performance of CAUTI were formal learning (β=.22, p=.003) and prevention knowledge on CAUTI (β=.17, p=.029). These variables explained 13% of the prevention performance of CAUTI. @*Conclusion@#In this study, it is necessary for long-term care hospitals to develop infection prevention educational programs for CAUTI based on nursing evidence and ensure that nurses apply the knowledge obtained through these educational programs.
