Abstract

As emphasized in the COVID-19 quarantine guidelines, hand washing is the most important prevention rule in tandem with distancing and mask. This study aimed to confirm relevant factors that affect practice of hand washing to find out approach for improvement of hand washing practice rate after COVID-19. Using the 2020 Community Health Survey data. As methods of research, this study searched for relevance by carrying out univariate logistic regression analysis, and also conducted multivariate logistic regression analysis using significant variables. Analysis results show that hand washing practice rate was high in females, well-educated, low age, cities, office job, the more people wear a face mask indoors, the higher the cycle of ventilation, the higher the cycle of disinfection and the more people maintain healthy distance. This study understood factors related to the rate of hand washing practice and results can be used as basic data for COVID-19 quarantine guidelines.

손씻기는 COVID-19 방역 지침에서도 강조하듯이 거리두기 및 마스크와 더불어 가장 중요한 감염수칙이다. 본 연구는 COVID-19 이후 손씻기 실천율 향상을 위한 접근방법을 모색하고자 손씻기 실천에 영향을 주는 관련 요인을 확인하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 2020년도 지역사회건강조사 전국 원시자료를 활용하였다. 연구방법은 단변량 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하여 관련성을 탐색하였으며, 유의한 변수를 이용하여 다변량 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 손씻기 실천율은 여성, 고학력, 저연령, 도시, 사무직, 실내에서 마스크를 착용할수록, 주기적 환기를 할수록, 주기적 소독을 할수록, 건강거리를 유지할수록 손씻기 실천율이 높은 것으로 확인했다. 본 연구 결과는 손씻기 실천율의 관련 요인을 파악함으로써 COVID-19 방역 지침의 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다.
