Description
Summary:Objectives This study aimed to assess the educational needs and analyze the priorities of infection prevention and control (IPC) for community‐visiting nurses. Design This is a cross‐sectional descriptive study. Sample This study was conducted with 144 visiting nurses working in public health centers and long‐term care facilities in South Korea. Method A total of 23 questions in five subcategories were used to measure the current knowledge and perceived importance of IPC in community‐visiting nursing. Data were collected from June 23 to October 30, 2021, during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Data were analyzed paired t‐test, the Borich needs assessment, and the Locus for Focus models. Results Top‐priority content was defined as content belonging to two models, the first 10 contents of Borich needs assessment and the contents located in the Quadrant I of the Locus for Focus models. “Reporting in case of infection‐related accidents,” “Mandatory vaccination for visiting nurses,” “Standard precaution,” “Airborne precaution,” “Contact precautions,” “Respiratory infection control,” and “Post‐visit management.” Conclusions This study suggests that it is necessary to provide visiting nurses with more opportunities for IPC education and to develop standardized IPC programs that consider educational priorities.
