This study aimed to determine the compliance of healthcare workers (HCWs) with the hospital safety measures and the prevalence of hospital-acquired COVID-19 infection among them.
HCWs at King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH) assigned for COVID-19 patients between 18 March and 10 June 2020 were tested for past infection using total anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin assay, demographic data and compliance with safety measures were assessed using a questionnaire.
A total of 340 HCWs participated in the study, 260 were close direct care. Three HCWs tested positive for total anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin. Close direct care were more compliant with personal protective guidelines than those providing direct care.
HCWs compliance with personal protective guidelines might explain the low prevalence of COVID-19 infection in hospital settings.
本研究旨在确定医护人员对医院安全措施的遵守情况以及他们中医院获得性新冠肺炎感染的患病率。
对2020年3月18日至6月10日期间被分配到阿卜杜拉国王大学医院（KAUH）负责新冠肺炎患者的医护人员，使用总抗SARS-CoV-2免疫球蛋白检测法检测既往感染情况，通过问卷调查评估人口统计学数据和对安全措施的遵守情况。
共有340名医护人员参与了该研究，其中260名是密切直接护理人员。3名医护人员的总抗SARS-CoV-2免疫球蛋白检测呈阳性。密切直接护理人员比提供直接护理的人员更遵守个人防护指南。
医护人员对个人防护指南的遵守情况可能解释了医院环境中新冠肺炎感染患病率较低的原因。
