Infection prevention and control practices and related factors among paramedics during the coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak in Korea.
This study aimed to investigate the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection prevention and control (IPC) practices and related factors among paramedics. We selected 249 paramedics using convenience sampling from three areas in Korea. Data on the demographics, infection-related characteristics, awareness, and practice of IPC were collected using self-reported questionnaires. The mean IPC practice score was 4.47 ± 0.54. The compliance with IPC practices was relatively high among those with a disease history (B = 0.194, p = 0.045) and who were aware of the safety management standard guidelines. Provision of sufficient protective equipment and infection prevention monitoring were associated with higher IPC practice scores. Education for increasing awareness of the recent IPC guidelines and the allocation of personal protective equipment would be helpful in improving the practice.
期刊介绍：
Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health , originally founded in 1919 as the Journal of Industrial Hygiene, and perhaps most well-known as the Archives of Environmental Health, reports, integrates, and consolidates the latest research, both nationally and internationally, from fields germane to environmental health, including epidemiology, toxicology, exposure assessment, modeling and biostatistics, risk science and biochemistry. Publishing new research based on the most rigorous methods and discussion to put this work in perspective for public health, public policy, and sustainability, the Archives addresses such topics of current concern as health significance of chemical exposure, toxic waste, new and old energy technologies, industrial processes, and the environmental causation of disease such as neurotoxicity, birth defects, cancer, and chronic degenerative diseases. For more than 90 years, this noted journal has provided objective documentation of the effects of environmental agents on human and, in some cases, animal populations and information of practical importance on which decisions are based.
