Abstract

A direct observational pilot project of healthcare personnel (HCP) was conducted to validate a tool that measures personal protective equipment (PPE) adherence at a large pediatric institution. Overall unit PPE adherence for all moments ranged from 50–61%. Masking was the most adhered to PPE moment (100%); hand hygiene prior to donning PPE had the lowest adherence (13%). Using data from this standardized tool, researchers can evolve PPE standards to maximize their adherence, effectiveness, and ease of utilization.

在 COVID-19 大流行期间坚持使用个人防护设备：试点研究

一项针对医护人员（HCP）的直接观察试点项目在一家大型儿科机构开展，目的是验证一种测量个人防护设备（PPE）依从性的工具。在所有时刻，单位个人防护设备的总体遵守率为 50%-61%。戴口罩是坚持使用个人防护设备最多的时刻（100%）；穿戴个人防护设备前的手部卫生坚持率最低（13%）。利用这一标准化工具提供的数据，研究人员可以改进个人防护设备标准，最大限度地提高其依从性、有效性和易用性。
