The role of doctors’ clinical attire in transmitting the virus in hospital settings has not been reported in the literature. The survival of SARS-CoV-2 on clothing is currently unknown, but the virus has been shown to remain viable and infectious on surfaces for several days, depending on inoculum shed (Doremalen et al., 2020). Fomite transmission was associated with nosocomial spread and super-spreading events with SARS-CoV-1, and the stability of the two viruses has been demonstrated to be similar (Chen et al., 2004). In contrast to nursing and allied healthcare staff who have an established uniform policy with evidence-based hygiene measures (NHS England and NHS Improvement, 2020:p2– 6), doctors habitually commute to the hospital in work clothing and visit public places en route (Oxtoby, 2015). This is poor infection control practice in ordinary times, but in the context of a pandemic may represent an underappreciated route of viral transmission. We report the experience of piloting hygienic ‘ward wear’ scrubs for doctors at a large 1000-bed National Health Service University teaching hospital. The hospital employs 1022 doctors, all of whom were offered use of the new scrubs on a loan basis during the first wave of the UK COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. The provision consisted of three sets of a unisex navy blue poly-cotton scrub suit of standard design, with the hospital logo and ‘doctor’ embroidered on the chest. Doctors were responsible for laundering their own scrubs, as evidence shows that domestic laundering at 60°C is as effective as commercial washing for decontaminating healthcare clothing (NHS England and NHS Improvement, 2020:p2–6). Doctors using the scrubs were instructed to change into and out of them on hospital premises using existing changing room facilities and store their clothing with their personal belongings. Data was obtained by a web survey with 10 questions in October 2020. Questions included multiple choice, Likert scale questions and free-text. All doctors employed at the hospital (n = 1022) were invited by email to take part. The objectives were to map the demographics of uptake of the ward wear initiative; to obtain feedback on users’ perceptions of hygiene, comfort and professionalism; and to understand the barriers to use among doctors who chose not to take part in the pilot. Of 1022 doctors, 504 (49%) opted to use the new scrubs. 169 doctors completed the survey (14%). 135 (80%) of respondents were using the new scrubs at the time of the survey, 6 months after the start of the initiative. There was an equal gender split amongst respondents who had tried the scrubs (the ‘uptake’ group) and those who chose not to (the ‘decline’ group). The grade of respondents was comparable between the uptake and decline groups and broadly representative of the proportions","PeriodicalId":16094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Infection Prevention","volume":"23 4","pages":"190-191"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9006087/pdf/10.1177_17571774211046989.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9540229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
