Abstrakt: Objective: This study aimed to investigate the correlations between knowledge, fear, infection control practices, and attitude of dental staff in Korea.
Methods: This study was conducted to investigate the correlation between COVID-19-related knowledge, fear, and infection control attitudes and practices.
Results: COVID-19-related knowledge was significantly correlated with infection control attitudes and practices (r = 0.204, p < 0.010), and infection control attitudes and practices were significantly correlated with knowledge and fear (r = 0.214, p < 0.01).
Conclusions: It was confirmed that most Korean dental staff are acquiring correct knowledge about COVID-19 and are showing relatively stable infection control attitudes and practices to cope with it.
