Abstract

This study is to provide basic data on intervention methods to enhance the performance of infection control by grasping the relationship between ethical decision-making, moral sensitivity and infection control performance of nursing students in the global COVID-19 pandemic. General characteristics, major-related characteristics, ethical decision-making, moral sensitivity, and infection control were investigated using a structured questionnaires for 3rd and 4rd graders of nursing college. To analyze collected data, descriptive statistics, indepentent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression anlaysis were performed using IBM SPSS21.0 program. As a result of this study, factors influencing the performance of COVID-19 infection control were the principle of beneficence, which is the sub area of ethical decsion-making, and conflict and patient-centered nursing, which is the sub-area of moral sensitivity. In order to improve infection control of nursing students who are prospective medical professionals in a situation where new infectious diseases are highly likely to occur in the future, it is required to develop a practice-oriented convergence education programs for nurses which can improve ethics of patient centered nursing.

본 연구는 COVID-19 유행상황에서 간호대학생의 윤리적 의사결정, 도덕적 민감성 및 감염관리 수행도와의 관계를 파악하여 간호대학생의 감염관리 수행도를 높이기 위한 중재방법의 기초자료를 제공하기 위함이다. 간호대학생 3,4학년을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 일반적 특성, 전공 관련 특성, 윤리적 의사결정, 도덕적 민감성 및 수행도를 조사하였다. 자료분석은 IBM SPSS21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, Indepentent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, Stepwise Multiple regression anlaysis를 하였다. 본 연구결과 COVID-19 감염관리 수행도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 윤리적 의사결정에서 선행의 원칙, 도덕적 민감성에서 갈등과 환자중심간호로 나타났다. 앞으로 신종감염병이 출현할 가능성이 높은 상황에서 예비의료인인 간호대학생의 감염관리 수행도를 향상시키기 위해서는 환자중심의 간호윤리를 강화할 수 있는 실무중심의 융복합적인 교육프로그램을 개발하는 것이 필요하다.
