Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic causes health workers to use level 2 and level 3 personal protective equipment. Hand washing and the use of latex gloves are important in limiting the spread of COVID-19, but they can potentially induce hand eczema and skin pH disturbance if used too frequently. Purpose: Determine the correlation between the frequency of handwashing and duration of using hand sanitizer and moisturizer as well as skin pH level on the incidence of hand eczema in nurses in the COVID-19 treatment room at RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the COVID-19 treatment room at RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta with 90 nurses as subjects. A validated questionnaire carried out the frequency of handwashing, hand sanitizer, moisturizer, duration of using latex gloves, and hand eczema complaints. The subject’s pH assessment was conducted after 4-5 hours in the COVID-19 treatment room. Data were analyzed bivariately with a Spearman rank correlation test. Result: There was a significant correlation with the incidence of hand eczema with the frequency of handwashing with soap (r=0.305 and p=0.003) and the duration of using latex gloves (r=0.328 and p=0.002) with a weak category correlation (r=0.200-0.399). The frequency of using hand sanitizer, moisturizer, and skin pH did not correlate with the incidence of hand eczema. Conclusion: Frequency of handwashing and the duration of using latex gloves correlated with the incidence of hand eczema, meanwhile frequency of using hand sanitizer, using moisturizer, and skin pH didn’t correlate with the incidence of hand eczema.
COVID-19治疗室护士手部湿疹:洗手频率、洗手液、保湿液和乳胶手套使用时间
背景:COVID-19大流行导致卫生工作者使用2级和3级个人防护装备。洗手和使用乳胶手套对于限制COVID-19的传播很重要,但如果使用过于频繁,它们可能会导致手部湿疹和皮肤pH值紊乱。目的:确定RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta医院COVID-19治疗室护士洗手频率、使用洗手液和保湿液时间以及皮肤pH值与手部湿疹发生率的相关性。方法:本横断面研究在RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta的COVID-19治疗室进行,以90名护士为研究对象。一份有效的问卷调查了洗手频率、洗手液、保湿剂、使用乳胶手套的持续时间和手部湿疹投诉。受试者在COVID-19治疗室4-5小时后进行pH值评估。采用Spearman秩相关检验对数据进行双变量分析。结果:用肥皂洗手次数(r=0.305, p=0.003)和使用乳胶手套时间(r=0.328, p=0.002)与手部湿疹发生率有显著相关性,但类别相关性较弱(r=0.200 ~ 0.399)。使用洗手液、保湿剂和皮肤pH值的频率与手部湿疹的发生率无关。结论:洗手频率、使用乳胶手套时间与手部湿疹发生率相关,使用洗手液、保湿液频率、皮肤pH值与手部湿疹发生率无相关性。
