Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To determine how nurses\' experiences with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic affected their knowledge, awareness, and compliance related to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea.
METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study.
METHODS: A total of 247 nurses in South Korea participated in this study between May 10 and 19, 2023. An online self-report questionnaire was used to collect data on demographic and occupational characteristics, COVID-19 experience, knowledge, awareness, and compliance related to the use of PPE. Factors affecting compliance were analysed using hierarchical multiple linear regression.
RESULTS: Mean age of the nurses was 31.92, and 94.3% were women. Most had a bachelor\'s degree or higher and the mean clinical experience as a nurse was 6.45 years. Knowledge of the use of PPE was 8.45 out of 10, awareness was 3.52 out of 5, and compliance was 4.28 out of 5. Knowledge and awareness were correlated with compliance related to PPE use. Awareness (β = 0.234, p < 0.001), knowledge (β = 0.218, p < 0.001), experience caring for COVID-19 patients (β = 0.234, p = 0.004), optional fourth dose vaccine (β = 0.150, p = 0.017), clinical experience (β = 0.140, p = 0.022), and COVID-19 infection control education (β = 0.115, p = 0.037) were found to have a significant impact on compliance.
CONCLUSIONS: During the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses\' knowledge and awareness of PPE use was a crucial factor in compliance. factors such as clinical experience, experience in caring for COVID-19 patients, optional vaccination, and completion of COVID-19 education also influenced compliance. We hope that these factors can provide a basis for developing training programs for nurses to respond to future emerging infectious diseases.

摘要：
目的：确定护士对冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的经历如何影响他们的知识，意识,以及与韩国COVID-19大流行期间个人防护装备(PPE)使用相关的合规性。
方法：描述性横断面研究。
方法：在2023年5月10日至19日期间，韩国共有247名护士参加了这项研究。使用在线自我报告问卷收集有关人口和职业特征的数据，COVID-19经验，知识,意识,与使用PPE相关的合规性。使用分层多元线性回归分析影响依从性的因素。
结果：护士的平均年龄为31.92岁，女性占94.3％。大多数人拥有学士学位或更高学位，作为护士的平均临床经验为6.45年。PPE的使用知识为8.45/10，知晓率为3.52/5，依从性为4.28/5。知识和意识与PPE使用相关的依从性相关。意识（β=0.234，p<0.001），知识(β=0.218，p<0.001)，COVID-19患者护理经验（β=0.234，p=0.004），可选的第四剂疫苗（β=0.150，p=0.017），临床经验（β=0.140，p=0.022），和COVID-19感染控制教育(β=0.115，p=0.037)对依从性有显著影响。
结论：在COVID-19大流行期间，护士对PPE使用的知识和意识是依从性的关键因素。临床经验等因素，照顾COVID-19患者的经验，可选的疫苗接种，完成COVID-19教育也影响了依从性。我们希望这些因素可以为制定护士应对未来新发传染病的培训计划提供依据。
