INTRODUCTION
Throughout the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, personal protective equipment (PPE) guidance has rapidly evolved. Healthcare workers (HCWs) should use PPE correctly to reduce the risk of nosocomial transmission of the coronavirus. We predict a lack of training regarding correct PPE usage amongst HCWs and introduce a low-resource method of training.
METHODS
HCWs from various disciplines at a District General Hospital self-rated their ability in utilising PPE using uncontrolled pre- and post-session 16-item questionnaires following a single PPE training session. Participant responses were analysed using Student's t-test for independent (unpaired) samples.
RESULTS
Of 64 participants, 37 participants (59%) received any prior PPE training. Six participants (9%) previously received specific severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 PPE training. Survey scores were higher in the post-test than the pre-test group.
CONCLUSION
This study highlights the lack of formal PPE training amongst HCWs and the need for establishing PPE training as part of the mandatory training of HCWs.
引言
在2019年冠状病毒病大流行期间，个人防护装备（PPE）指南迅速演变。医护人员应正确使用个人防护装备，以降低冠状病毒在医院内传播的风险。我们预计医护人员中缺乏关于正确使用个人防护装备的培训，并介绍一种资源匮乏情况下的培训方法。
方法
一家地区综合医院各学科的医护人员在参加一次个人防护装备培训课程后，使用16项无对照的课前和课后问卷对自己使用个人防护装备的能力进行自我评估。使用独立（非配对）样本的学生t检验分析参与者的回答。
结果
64名参与者中，37名参与者（59%）之前接受过任何个人防护装备培训。6名参与者（9%）之前接受过特定的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2个人防护装备培训。测试后调查分数高于测试前组。
结论
本研究强调了医护人员中缺乏正式的个人防护装备培训，以及将个人防护装备培训作为医护人员强制性培训一部分的必要性。
