ABSTRACT

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the knowledge, perception, and attitude on personal protective equipment (PPE) among Korea Armed Forces Nursing Academy (KAFNA) cadets. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study included 291 cadets attending at KAFNA. Data were collected by structured questionnaires and were analyzed through descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results: The score of knowledge on PPE was 14.49±1.83 points out of 20 points. Perception on PPE was 3.55±0.45 points, and attitude on PPE was 3.39±0.59 points out of 5 points, respectively. There was no correlation between knowledge and perception, despite a strong positive correlation among knowledge, perception, and attitude. Upper-grade cadets and cadets who have experience in PPE training showed higher knowledge and attitude on PPE. Conclusion: Results of this study provided as basic data for the education related to the use of PPE for KAFNA cadets. It will also be necessary to provide the repetitive education and practice for the curriculum to master PPE.
