The hospital environment can cause infections to dental consumers and dental hygienists through several transmission paths by pathogens. Accordingly, blood-borne infections caused by exposure to blood or body fluids are higher in medical personnel than other infections [1]. The main route of infection is often due to an accident in which the patient's contaminated blood comes into contact with mucous membranes or wounds, or is stabbed by needles or various sharp instruments used in the patient [2]. The reason why infection control activities are important in the dental treatment process is that blood and saliva components are easily diffused into the air in the form of aerosol and dust due to the operation of the hand piece, water, and air injector It can be easily mediated by various secretions that occur during the treatment process, and infections occur frequently through wounds caused by sharp dental instruments or equipment [3]. The purpose of infection control is to protect people exposed to the hospital environment, such as patients, medical institution workers, guardians, and visitors from developing medical-related infections [4]. The standard revised in 2007 has seven areas of respiratory etiquette and safe injection behaviour infection control in existing hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, patient placement, treatment equipment and supplies, environmental management, linen management, and employee safety [5]. Standard is the most effective way to prevent dental-related infections between patients and medical personnel [6], Studies on standard performance were conducted on hospital workers, and it was confirmed that repetitive education programs were needed to promote standard performance [7]. In addition, efficient response to COVID-19 infection control can significantly reduce the incidence of medical-related infections, and active infection control activities for the prevention and management of medical-related infections are very important [8]. In previous studies, the most basic of management activities for infection prevention Standard was first published in 1996 by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) the patient's blood to prevent the spread of pathogens, all secretions from the patient, including body fluids, are considered potential sources of infection by avoiding exposure, it is recommended to comply with the disease regardless of infection even before the disease is diagnosed [5]. The Korea Centres for Disease Control and Prevention uses the standard guidelines for medical infections, not only patients and medical workers in medical institutions, Infection control education is recommended for visitors entering and leaving the hospital, as well as dental workers, dental college, and dental hygiene college trainees [9]. The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and From the Hospital Infection Control Practice Advisory Committee (HICPAC), It is recommended that all patients comply with standard guidelines when dealing with body fluids or blood as a result of compliance with standards, it has been reported that the average number of Exposure to blood by medical institution workers in one year was lowered from 35.8 to 18.1 [10]. As a result, it was reorganized into a medical institution certification system in Korea the infection control sector was importantly reflected. Apply standards guidelines to each medical institution an infection control system is established and improvements are expressed to satisfy the infection control evaluation criteria [11]. Standard guidelines are applied to all patients' blood and body fluids (excluding sweat), secretions, excrement, mucous membranes, and damaged skin, which are the criteria for infection control evaluation, and are likely to spread in hospitals. Therefore, it is very important for all medical institution workers to comply with the standards guidelines. However, for dental care workers, knowledge of infection control and A Study on the Performance of Standard in the Half-Century of Korea. It is no exaggeration to say that it has just begun. Therefore, in this study, there are many direct and indirect contacts with patients among dental institution workers Knowledge of standard management guidelines for dental hygienists who are at high risk of infection and infection spread due to sharp instrument use and aerosol by grasping the safety environment and performance capabilities, it was intended to prepare measures for the improvement of knowledge and performance of standards guidelines and efficient dental infection management.

The world is in a difficult situation due to Covid, and dental medical institutions are also required to implement systematic infection control through responsibility and empowerment of infection managers and professional infection control education. Most hospital infections can be reduced by practice through accurate knowledge. Workers at dental institutions are thoroughly aware of infection prevention and require efforts to control and cope with infection [13] all patients visiting the dentist are likely to be infected, and preventive measures against infectious diseases should be taken by examining the patient's medical history and checking the overall health status [14]. In addition, personal protective equipment such as hand washing, gloves, masks, and goggles must be worn during each patient's treatment, and proper management such as disinfection, sterilization, and extract is required [15]. Therefore, in this study, knowledge of the standard guidelines for infection control of dental hygienists engaged in dental institutions, the purpose was to prepare specific measures to improve dental infection management by grasping the safety environment and performance. According to the previous study, there was a study by Park et al. (16), which showed that the larger the size of the working institution, the higher the knowledge score on the standardization guidelines According to the general characteristics of this study, the results of analysing the knowledge of the standard guidelines were found in the standard knowledge experiment group There are 59 people who said "Yes" 54.6% said "None" The average and standard deviation of the 38% experimental group of 41 people were 4.100±.494, t=18.409, p=.000. In the standard knowledge control group, "Yes" means 65 people, 60.2 percent the average and standard deviation of 35 people and 32.4% of the experimental group said, "None." 1.350± .479 to t=17.732, p=.000<Table 1>. Result, it is believed that a systematic infection control program should be established in dental hospitals and dentists to improve the level of knowledge on standard guidelines. As a result of analysing the performance of standardization guidelines according to the general characteristics of previous studies, In the performance chart of standards guidelines according to age and work experience, the age is high or he more work experience, the higher the performance on the standard guidelines [17, 18, 19, 20, 21]. In this study, the results of the t-test test for standard knowledge, standard education methods, and standard guidelines were also used of the standard knowledge of correspondence 1 the mean and standard deviation are 1.410±.494, the mean and standard deviation of the experimental group performing the wearing of protective gear is 3.840±1.178. Standard knowledge Protective gear wearing performance of experimental group he mean and standard deviation are –2.430±1.233, t=-19.708, p=.000. The average and standard deviation of the standardized education method of response 2 are 2.420±.386, The mean and standard deviation of the mask wearing experiment group is 4.040±1.109, Standard training method*The mean and standard deviation of the mask wearing experiment group is -1.620±1.032, t=-15.689, p=.000. The average and standard deviation of the standardized education method in response 2 are 2.420±.386, The mean and standard deviation of the mask wearing experiment group is 4.040±1.109, Standard teaching methods*Mask wearing experimental group The mean and standard deviation are -1.620±1.032 and t=-15.689, p=.000. The average and standard deviation of the standard guidance in response 3 are 1.80±.386, the mean and standard deviation of the syringe treatment experimental group are 3.510±1.473. Performing standard guidelines Injector treatment experimental group the mean and standard deviation is -2.330±1.484, t= -15.698, p=.000. Standard in Response 4 New Content Failures Experimental Group The mean and standard deviation are 3.110±1.455, the mean and standard deviation of the employee safety experiment group is 3.360±1.446. Standard New Content Failure Experimental Group*Employee Safety Experimental Group the mean and standard deviation are -.250±1.908, t=-1.310, p=.000. In other words, the experimental group performing standard knowledge* protective gear wearing (p=.000), Standard training methods Mask wearing experimental group (p=.000), Perform standard instructions Injector treatment experimental group (p=.000), It was statistically significant as an experimental group (p=.000) for performing standard knowledge protective equipment wear<Table 2>. The results of cross-analysis of the gender control group and the mask wearing control group in Table 3 show that The gender male mask wearing control group has a "Yes, Very Yes" The frequency was 8 people, 33.9% The frequency of "No, Wow, Very No" is 85.5% with five people. In the control group wearing a gender mask, the frequency of "yes" is 87.5% for 28 people There were 30 people who said "Very Yes" and 88.6% The frequency of "No" is 75.6% with 6 people The frequency of "very not" is 40.0% with two people. As a result of conducting cross-analysis to find out whether there is a significant difference between the gender control group and the mask wearing control group x2=10.670a significance probability is .031, which is the significance level from .05. It can be said that there is a significant difference between the gender control group and the mask wearing control group. It's because the infection control system is systematic It is believed to be the result of regular training through infection control personnel. As a result of analyzing the safety environment of the standardized guidelines according to infection-related characteristics in previous studies, the safety environment score was high if the standardized guidelines were trained in the case of infection control education experience, the degree of infection control practice of dental hygienists was high [21]. In this study, a cross-analysis of the gender control group and the performance control group wearing protective gear Gender control The number of men in the control wearing protective gear "yes" and "very yes" were 12 people, showing 39.8% The frequency of "yes" for women in the control group wearing gender controls protective gear is 77.8% for 21 people, and the frequency of "very yes" is 82.4% for 28 people. As a result of conducting cross-analysis to find out whether there is a significant difference between the gender control group and the control group performing protective gear wearing It can be said that there is a significant difference at the significance level of .05 as x2=10.592a and p=.032. <Table 4>. In Table 5 of this study, the gender experimental group and the surface disinfection experimental group, Glove exchange experimental group before and after blood fluid mucosa treatment, The results of regression analysis of the wearing experiment group in isolation The F statistic is 7.690 The significance probability is .000, and the gender experimental group has a significance level of .05 Surface disinfection experimental group (t=-4.483,p=.000) Glove exchange experimental group before and after blood fluid mucosa treatment (t=3.851, p=.000) Isolation Wear Experimental Group (t=2.589, p=.000) is a significant description of .194% of the total change in the gender experimental group (according to the correction factor).169%). In addition, in Table 6 of this study, the age control group and the employee safety control group, in regression analysis, the F statistic is 12.953, Significance probability.000 at age control significance level .05. Employee safety control (t=3.599, p=).000) appeared. Therefore, in this study, it is believed that dental hygienists who have experienced infection control education can recognize the safe environment of the dental clinic and perform infection control well Since infection control education affects infection control practice, infection control practice is necessary to protect not only dental hygienists but also dental consumers It is believed that systematic infection management education and program development should be carried out for this. In order to practice infection control in accordance with standardized guidelines in dental institutions, personal knowledge and will of dental hygienists are important, but administrative and physical support of hospitals and systematic programs must be established It is believed that professional programs and institutional devices should be prepared to train responsible and authorized dental hygienists specializing in infection control. The limitations of this study are that the questionnaire, a research tool, was limited to general dentists and analysed as standardized guidelines, and there is a limit to discussing generalization because some dental hygienists in Gwangju cannot represent all dental hygienists. Therefore, in future studies, surveys should be conducted through questionnaire tools that can reflect the treatment environment of large dental hospitals among dental institutions, and it is considered necessary to expand and investigate nationwide.
