Abstract

Background: Disposable non-sterile gloves are part of the personal protective equipment (PPE) to be considered to protect oneself from the risk of infection. They have subsequently become the topic of concern related to increased use, inappropriate use, and potentially increasing the risk of cross-infection and environmental impact of plastic waste.

Aim/objective: This study aimed to explore the views of pre-registration student nurses about non-sterile glove use in clinical practice and to identify the factors that impact student nurses' decision on whether to wear non- sterile gloves.

Methods: Using a social constructivist approach, the study was organised in a higher education institution. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with second year student nurses, utilising a theoretical domains framework (TDF).

Findings/results: The key findings showed that students had limited awareness of the national infection prevention and control best practice procedures. The primary influential factors for non-sterile gloves use behaviour were personal protection, the type of care interventions required and the observations of peers and role models.

Discussion: The study found limited awareness on the importance of infection prevention and control precautions, including the correct procedure for donning, and doffing of personal protection equipment, along with a lack of confidence to challenge non-compliance.

学生护士使用无菌手套的因素:一项探索性定性研究。
背景:一次性非无菌手套是个人防护设备(PPE)的一部分,用于保护自己免受感染。随后,非无菌手套的使用量增加、使用不当、可能增加交叉感染的风险以及塑料垃圾对环境的影响等问题引起了人们的关注:本研究旨在探讨注册前学生护士对在临床实践中使用非无菌手套的看法,并确定影响学生护士决定是否佩戴非无菌手套的因素:研究采用社会建构主义方法,在一所高等教育机构内进行。采用理论领域框架(TDF),对二年级护士学生进行了半结构式访谈:主要调查结果显示,学生对国家感染预防与控制最佳实践程序的认识有限。使用非无菌手套行为的主要影响因素是个人防护、所需护理干预的类型以及同伴和榜样的观察:讨论:研究发现,学生对感染预防和控制预防措施(包括穿戴和脱下个人防护设备的正确程序)的重要性认识有限,而且缺乏挑战违规行为的信心。
