The impact of wearing a mask on face-touching behavior is unknown. We conducted a survey of pediatric hematology/oncology staff to assess the perception of how masks would affect face-touching behavior and a brief observational study of providers during conferences in a children's hospital to quantify how masks affect face-touching behavior. Most felt that the mask would either increase (37.4%) or decrease (36.6%) their face-touching behavior. During a total of 330 person-minutes of observation, median face-touching rate was 5.4 face touches/hour (FT/h) while wearing a mask and 20 FT/h without a mask. Masks may reduce face-touching behavior amongst health care professionals.
戴口罩对面部触碰行为的影响尚不清楚。我们对儿科血液科/肿瘤科工作人员进行了一项调查,以评估他们对面部触碰行为的看法,并在儿童医院的会议期间进行了一项短暂的观察性研究,以量化口罩对面部触碰行为的影响。大多数人认为口罩会增加(37.4%)或减少(36.6%)他们的面部触碰行为。在总共 330 人分钟的观察期间,戴口罩时的中位数面部触碰率为 5.4 次/小时(FT/h),而不戴口罩时为 20 FT/h。口罩可能会减少医护人员的面部触碰行为。
