Abstract

Background: Glove liners (GLs) are worn under impermeable gloves to prevent occlusion effects.

Objectives: To evaluate the acceptance and tolerability of cotton gloves (COT) and semipermeable Sympatex gloves (SYM) as GLs in patients with hand dermatoses.

Methods: In a prospective multicenter study, 210 patients with work-related hand dermatoses were invited to wear either COT or SYM as GLs for 4 weeks underneath occlusive protective gloves during their regular work tasks. Acceptance of GL and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were assessed by questionnaires and the disease severity by the Osnabrueck Hand Eczema Severity Index.

Results: A total of 178 data sets were available (SYM: n = 89/103, 86.4%; COT: n = 89/107, 83.2%). Both GLs did not impair work performance and were applicable in various work activities. SYM received better ratings regarding climate conditions, mobility and tactility. COT showed superiority in fit, donning and doffing. No substantial intergroup differences regarding disease severity and HRQoL were observed.

Conclusions: SYM and COT were well tolerated and accepted, suggesting that SYM is a reasonable alternative for COT as GL in patients with hand dermatoses. The choice of material of GLs may depend on occupation-specific requirements for the performed tasks, individual needs and preferences.

半透性和纺织材料手套衬垫在手部皮肤病患者中的评价：一项多中心干预研究的结果（保护II）。

背景：手套衬垫（GLs）在不透水的手套下佩戴，以防止遮挡效果。目的：评价棉质手套（COT）和半透性手套（SYM）作为手部皮肤病GLs的接受度和耐受性。方法：在一项前瞻性多中心研究中，210名与工作相关的手部皮肤病患者被邀请在常规工作任务中戴上COT或SYM作为GLs，并戴上闭塞防护手套，为期4周。GL接受度和健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）采用问卷评估，疾病严重程度采用Osnabrueck手部湿疹严重程度指数评估。结果：共获得178组数据集(SYM: n = 89/103, 86.4%；COT: n = 89/107, 83.2%)。两种gl都不影响工作表现，适用于各种工作活动。SYM在气候条件、机动性和触感方面获得了更好的评价。COT在贴身、搭绒、落绒方面表现出优越性。在疾病严重程度和HRQoL方面，组间无明显差异。结论：SYM和COT具有良好的耐受性和接受性，提示SYM是手部皮肤病患者替代COT作为GL的合理选择。GLs材料的选择可能取决于所执行任务的职业特定要求、个人需求和偏好。

期刊介绍： Contact Dermatitis is designed primarily as a journal for clinicians who are interested in various aspects of environmental dermatitis. This includes both allergic and irritant (toxic) types of contact dermatitis, occupational (industrial) dermatitis and consumers" dermatitis from such products as cosmetics and toiletries. The journal aims at promoting and maintaining communication among dermatologists, industrial physicians, allergists and clinical immunologists, as well as chemists and research workers involved in industry and the production of consumer goods. Papers are invited on clinical observations, diagnosis and methods of investigation of patients, therapeutic measures, organisation and legislation relating to the control of occupational and consumers".
