© 2024 The Authors. Public Health Nursing published by Wiley Periodicals LLC..

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess the educational needs and analyze the priorities of infection prevention and control (IPC) for community-visiting nurses.

DESIGN: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study.

SAMPLE: This study was conducted with 144 visiting nurses working in public health centers and long-term care facilities in South Korea.

METHOD: A total of 23 questions in five subcategories were used to measure the current knowledge and perceived importance of IPC in community-visiting nursing. Data were collected from June 23 to October 30, 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were analyzed paired t-test, the Borich needs assessment, and the Locus for Focus models.

RESULTS: Top-priority content was defined as content belonging to two models, the first 10 contents of Borich needs assessment and the contents located in the Quadrant I of the Locus for Focus models. "Reporting in case of infection-related accidents," "Mandatory vaccination for visiting nurses," "Standard precaution," "Airborne precaution," "Contact precautions," "Respiratory infection control," and "Post-visit management.".

CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that it is necessary to provide visiting nurses with more opportunities for IPC education and to develop standardized IPC programs that consider educational priorities.
