OBJECTIVES
Healthcare workers (HCW) are at increased risk of infection during pandemics. HCW personal protective equipment (PPE) use has been shown to lower infection rates among HCW and patients. However, low compliance and misuse are frequent. Since future outbreaks are unavoidable, this issue needs to be addressed.
METHODS
A validated questionnaire was distributed to 617 HCWs (nurses and physicians) in 21 hospitals and 40 primary care clinics in Israel at the peak of the A/H1N1 pandemic.
RESULTS
PPE confidence was higher among HCWs with higher tested and self-perceived knowledge. Confidence was also higher among nurses compared with physicians and among employees in hospitals compared with those in primary care clinics. Experience treating A/H1N1 patients was related to higher self-perceived knowledge and PPE confidence.
CONCLUSIONS
High levels of PPE knowledge were significantly correlated to HCWs' confidence in PPE and may help increase PPE usage and reduce absenteeism. (. 2014;0:1-8).
目的
医护人员在大流行期间感染风险增加。已证明医护人员使用个人防护装备（PPE）可降低医护人员和患者的感染率。然而，依从性低和误用情况屡见不鲜。由于未来疫情不可避免，这个问题需要得到解决。
方法
在甲型H1N1流感大流行高峰期，向以色列21家医院和40家基层医疗诊所的617名医护人员（护士和医生）发放了一份经过验证的问卷。
结果
检测知识和自我认知知识较高的医护人员对PPE的信心更高。与医生相比，护士的信心更高；与基层医疗诊所的员工相比，医院员工的信心也更高。治疗甲型H1N1流感患者的经验与更高的自我认知知识和PPE信心相关。
结论
高水平的PPE知识与医护人员对PPE的信心显著相关，可能有助于增加PPE的使用并减少缺勤率。（. 2014;0:1 - 8）
