Hand dermatitis affects Korean nursing students, with prevalence increasing by year of study. Systemic allergies significantly increase the risk, highlighting a key factor in hand dermatitis development.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Nursing Education
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Hand dermatitis is a common occupational skin condition.
  • Nursing students are at risk due to frequent hand washing and exposure to irritants.
  • Prevalence and risk factors in Korean nursing students require investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of hand dermatitis among nursing students in Seoul.
  • To identify risk factors associated with hand dermatitis in this population.
  • To compare prevalence with international data.

Main Methods:

  • A validated questionnaire was translated into Korean.
  • 270 nursing students from a Seoul university participated; 202 surveys were returned.
  • Logistic regression analysis was used to identify significant risk factors.

Main Results:

  • Hand dermatitis prevalence ranged from 6.9% (first year) to 22.9% (fourth year).
  • Students with systemic allergies were 4.2 times more likely to have hand dermatitis.
  • Year of study and living arrangements were statistically significant risk factors.

Conclusions:

  • Hand dermatitis prevalence in Korean nursing students may be lower than in international counterparts.
  • Systemic allergies are a significant risk factor for hand dermatitis, consistent with global findings.
  • Further research is needed to explore preventive strategies for nursing students.
