JaHyun Kang 교수의 연구실은 감염병 대응 전략과 의료진의 안전을 핵심으로 삼는 감염관리 및 보건 시스템 분야에서 활동하고 있습니다. 특히 메트릴렌세린( MRSA )과 같은 다제내성 병원감염의 선제적 탐지 및 개인보호장비(PPE) 사용 절차의 최적화를 위한 실증적 연구를 중심으로, 임상 현장 기반의 표준화된 지침 개발을 목표로 하고 있습니다. 또한 환자 및 방문자 대상의 격리 정책 이행 문제와 같은 의료 현장의 실질적 과제를 분석하여, 안전성과 효율성을 동시에 확보하는 정책 제언을 하고 있습니다.

To counter the COVID-19 pandemic, which may persist, long-term, sustained response strategies must be prepared along with coordination between government and health systems.
Targeted active surveillance screening for MRSA is the most cost-effective screening strategy in an academic hospital setting. Additional studies that are based on actual hospital data are needed to validate this model. However, the model supports current recommendations to use active surveillance to detect MRSA.
Our enhanced protocols could significantly reduce contaminations. More studies are necessary to provide safer PPE protocol options.
Background/Aims: Due to a lack of scientific evidence and unstandardized protocols, the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is not always easy for healthcare personnel (HCP). This study aimed to generate experimental evidence to reduce contaminations during PPE doffing. Methods: With institutional review board approval, 4 standardized HCP were recruited to examine selected PPE protocols based on consultations with 10 invited Korean infection control leaders.

Our study results illuminated hospital policy variations for visitor isolation precautions. Reported problems with hospital visitor policies (eg, different policies across departments or facilities) suggest the need for standard guidelines and for enhanced public awareness about the importance of visitor compliance with isolation precautions.
In this cohort study, no association was found between the likelihood of adverse events and contact isolation using propensity score-matching methods and closely related covariates for adverse events.

We found a potential link between the rehabilitation centre and the outbreak. To prevent future outbreaks at LTCHs, it is necessary to enhance each LTCH's infection control resources and competencies based on its specific requirements, with support from the government.
