Abstract

In social cognitive theory, self-efficacy refers to the belief of a person in their own capacity to successfully perform certain tasks or behaviors. This study measured the self-efficacy of health professionals in hand hygiene (HH) and glove usage (GU) during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was an observational Brazilian multicenter study with a cross-sectional design with an online application of an instrument measuring the self-efficacy of health professionals in HH and GU. Health professionals (n = 193) participated in this study: 96 (49.7%) were nursing professionals, 38 (20.2%) were dental professionals, 21 (10.9%) were physicians, 10 (5.2%) were pharmacists, and 27 (14.0%) were other health professionals. Regarding the instrument applied, the maximum score (100 points) was achieved by 167 (86.5%) participants on Question 2 (confidence in regular routine behaviors), and the lowest scores achieved were 0, 10, 30, 40, and 50 points, referring to 18 (9.3%) participants, on Question 14 (the influence of management’s conduct related to practices). A total of 64.1% dental professionals, 57.1% of physicians, 39.6% of nurses, 20.0% of pharmacists, and 55.6% of other health professionals were classified as having self-efficacy. There was only a significant association between being a dental professional and having self-efficacy regarding HH and GU during the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to other health professional categories.

在COVID-19大流行期间测量卫生专业人员在手部卫生和手套使用方面的自我效能:巴西多中心观察性调查

在社会认知理论中，自我效能感是指一个人相信自己有能力成功地完成某些任务或行为。本研究测量了COVID-19大流行期间卫生专业人员在手部卫生(HH)和手套使用(GU)方面的自我效能感。这是一项巴西多中心观察性研究，采用横断面设计，在线应用测量HH和GU卫生专业人员自我效能感的工具。参与本研究的卫生专业人员共193人，其中护理专业人员96人(49.7%)，牙科专业人员38人(20.2%)，内科医生21人(10.9%)，药师10人(5.2%)，其他卫生专业人员27人(14.0%)。就所使用的工具而言，167名(86.5%)参与者在问题2(对常规日常行为的信心)上获得了最高分(100分)，而在问题14(与实践相关的管理行为的影响)上获得最低分的参与者为18名(9.3%)，分别为0分、10分、30分、40分和50分。共有64.1%的牙科专业人员、57.1%的内科医生、39.6%的护士、20.0%的药剂师和55.6%的其他卫生专业人员被认为具有自我效能感。在COVID-19大流行期间，与其他卫生专业类别相比，牙科专业人员与HH和GU的自我效能感之间只有显着关联。
