Analysis of Measuring Bacterial Number and Vital Capacity Before and After Wearing Mask
Objective To know the effect of wearing masks on nurses’ health.Method Abacterium study on the nasopharyngeal samples from 30 emergency nurses who had weared mask for two hours was done
and nurses’ vital capacity were measured before and after wearing mask.Results Bacterial number after 2 hours of wearing mask is(105.10±72.23)CFU/cm2
more than before it
(37.17±25.14)CFU/cm2(t=-5.99
P<0.01).Their vital capacity after wearing mask is(2 193.10±281.73)mL
less then before it
(3 170.00±291.40)mL(t=32.75
P<0.01).Conclusion Wearing mask for a long time increases the probability of respiratory infection
decreases nurses’vital capacity so it
has negative influence on nurses’health or communication between patients and nurses.
