In last week's Nursing Standard (Callaghan 1998) we reported the findings of a study into the effectiveness of plastic aprons in preventing contamination of nurses' uniforms. As a result of the study, the author made a series of recommendations to the infection control committee in her area. Although some of these recommendations were acted upon, the major changes recommended were not implemented despite evidence from the study. In this article, the author summarises the findings and recommendations of the study, and examines potential reasons why major changes were not carried out.
在上周的《护理标准》（卡拉汉，1998年）中，我们报道了一项关于塑料围裙在防止护士制服污染方面有效性的研究结果。作为该研究的结果，作者向她所在地区的感染控制委员会提出了一系列建议。尽管其中一些建议得到了执行，但尽管有该研究的证据，建议的主要变革并未实施。在本文中，作者总结了该研究的结果和建议，并探讨了主要变革未得以实施的潜在原因。
