OBJECTIVE
To assess impact of personal protective equipment (PPE) on healthcare providers (HCPs) in caring for COVID-19 patients.
METHODS
A cross-sectional survey was conducted over 50 hospitals in China. Descriptive analyses and Chi-square tests were performed on the collected data.
RESULTS
All 104 frontline HCPs report negative impacts of PPE on their clinical performance, 97% of them experienced discomfort and injuries caused by wearing PPE for long hours. Frontline HCPs provided suggestions to alleviate the negative impacts and to enhance communication between healthcare staff and patients. Two hundred eighty two non-frontline HCPs also revealed similar problems; however, we recorded a few discrepancies between answers given by frontline and non-frontline HCPs.
CONCLUSIONS
Wearing PPE for long hours degrades health performance. Measures were suggested to improve the design of PPE for protecting HCPs and enhancing their services to COVID patients.
目的
评估个人防护装备（PPE）对医护人员（HCP）照顾 COVID-19 患者的影响。
方法
在中国的 50 多家医院进行了横断面调查。对收集的数据进行描述性分析和卡方检验。
结果
所有 104 名一线 HCP 均报告 PPE 对其临床表现产生负面影响，97%的人因长时间佩戴 PPE 而感到不适和受伤。一线 HCP 提出了缓解负面影响的建议，并加强了医护人员与患者之间的沟通。282 名非一线 HCP 也出现了类似的问题；然而，我们记录了一线和非一线 HCP 之间回答的一些差异。
结论
长时间佩戴 PPE 会降低健康表现。建议采取措施改进 PPE 的设计，以保护 HCP 并增强他们对 COVID 患者的服务。
