Personal protective equipment related symptoms of epidemic prevention personnel in makeshift hospital
To explore the uncomfortable symptoms and solutions related to personal protective equipment (PPE) of epidemic prevention personnel in makeshift COVID-19 hospital.
Methods
2
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 158 people who participated in the fight against COVID-19 in Shanghai from April to June 2022. According to the PPE wearing frequencies and durations
the differences between the groups with PPE-related symptoms were observed
and the problems related to wearing PPE were displayed according to the survey results.
Results
2
There were 151 valid questionnaires
and the effective response rate was 95.6%. Those who wore PPE for more than 3 d per week and for more than 3 h/d had a higher proportion of PPE-related symptoms
and some of the differences were statistically significant (
P
<
0.05). For pressure ulcers and medical goggles-related symptoms
the proportion of patients with any uncomfortable symptoms was higher in the group with PPE wearing
<
3 d/week and
<
3 h/d (
P
<
0.01). According to the results of questionnaire
33% of the personnel believed that the related discomfort caused by wearing PPE could not be dealt in time
and 15% of the personnel thought that the education related to epidemic prevention was insufficient.
Conclusion
2
Reducing the frequency and length of time of PPE wearing
providing sufficient personnel and materials and strengthening health protection are the keys to ensuring safe of epidemic prevention workers.
