Patients' perception of personal protective equipment during the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic.
Background: Since the outbreak of the coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2), wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) has become necessary. Patients' ability to recognize staff is disrupted impacting on the relationship between healthcare worker and patient.
Objective: Assess the patients' perspective of healthcare workers wearing PPE and its effect on communication.
Methods: Admitted Orthopaedic patients during the first wave of SARS-Cov-2 were surveyed about the experience with staff wearing PPE. In response to feedback, individual badges with large pictures and names were introduced to wear over PPE. Patient views and response to the badges was collected from surveying admitted patients.
Results: Patients encountered staff wearing face masks and felt this was appropriate in the context of the pandemic. 44% responded that they would prefer staff wearing badges with names, roles and pictures more visible. Following the introduction of badges, patients were better able to recognize staff roles and remember names. Hospital staff felt this was a positive change to help improve rapport while wearing PPE.
Conclusion: Wearing PPE affects patients' ability to recognize individuals in a fast-paced environment such as an acute hospital. Introducing badges was an intervention based on patient feedback and an important adaptation to sustained PPE use to improve the patient's experience.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine is concerned with rendering the practice of medicine as safe as it can be; that involves promoting the highest possible quality of care, but also examining how those risks which are inevitable can be contained and managed. This is not exclusively a drugs journal. Recently it was decided to include in the subtitle of the journal three items to better indicate the scope of the journal, i.e. patient safety, pharmacovigilance and liability and the Editorial Board was adjusted accordingly. For each of these sections an Associate Editor was invited. We especially want to emphasize patient safety.
