After the Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreak of 2015, the Korean government became the payer for infection control (IC) and prevention when hospitals developed IC offices and appointed IC doctors and IC advanced practice nurses. The goal was to enhance IC for all hospitalized patients to prevent the occurrence and spread of infection among them. Measures resulted in increased demand for IC personnel, especially IC advanced practice nurses. This study addressed changes in Korea's IC policies and their impact on the IC advanced practice nursing education program.
2015 年中东呼吸综合征疫情爆发后,韩国政府在医院设立感染控制(IC)办公室并任命 IC 医生和 IC 高级实践护士后,成为感染控制和预防的支付方。目的是加强对所有住院患者的 IC,以防止感染在他们中间发生和传播。这些措施导致对 IC 人员(尤其是 IC 高级实践护士)的需求增加。本研究探讨了韩国 IC 政策的变化及其对 IC 高级实践护理教育计划的影响。
