A direct observational pilot project of healthcare personnel (HCP) was conducted to validate a tool that measures personal protective equipment (PPE) adherence at a large pediatric institution. Overall unit PPE adherence for all moments ranged from 50-61%. Masking was the most adhered to PPE moment (100%); hand hygiene prior to donning PPE had the lowest adherence (13%). Using data from this standardized tool, researchers can evolve PPE standards to maximize their adherence, effectiveness, and ease of utilization.
开展了一项针对医护人员（HCP）的直接观察性试点项目，以验证一种用于测量大型儿科机构个人防护装备（PPE）依从性的工具。所有时刻的总体科室PPE依从率在50%-61%之间。戴口罩是PPE依从率最高的时刻（100%）；穿戴PPE前的手部卫生依从率最低（13%）。利用该标准化工具的数据，研究人员可以改进PPE标准，以最大限度地提高其依从性、有效性和使用便利性。
