ABSTRACT

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships between knowledge, attitude, and preventive behaviors on emerging respiratory infectious disease among field-grade officers in Republic of Korea Army. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study included 194 participants who currently serving as field-grade officers. Data were collected by structured questionnaires and were analyzed through descriptive statistics, independent t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results: Knowledge, attitude, and preventive behaviors score related to emerging respiratory infectious disease were 8.42±1.25 points out of 11 points, 60.78±4.63 points out of 65 points, and 54.25±5.29 points out of 60points, respectively. There were strong positive correlations between knowledge, attitude, and preventive behaviors, despite no correlation between knowledge and attitude. Conclusion: Results of this study provided basic data for establishing health policy for the prevention and management of military infectious disease.
