Abstract：
Nurses, as the largest group of health professionals, are at the frontline of the healthcare system in response to COVID-19 epidemic. This study aimed to evaluate the nurses\' certainty and satisfaction with medical gloves when exposed to coronavirus in Fars province, south of Iran.
Using convenience sampling, 400 hospital nurses during the COVID-19 outbreak were selected from eight hospitals of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS). A questionnaire about glove reliability, including protection in tasks, durability, integrity and tear resistance, feeling fearful, and focusing on duties, and the nurses\' anxiety regarding their infection with coronavirus was distributed to the selected nurses to complete. 375 questionnaires were completed (response rate of 93.75%). Among the participants, 180 (48%) were in the corona section and 195 (52%) were hardly possible to have contact with coronavirus pneumonia patients.
The mean score (SD) of anxiety about infection with COVID-19 for nurses in the COVID-19 section and those in the non-COVID-19 section were 6.08 (2.8) and 4.56 (2.58), respectively (p<0.05). The mean duration of gloves usage in a day was almost similar in the two groups (about 5h), but the number of glove replacements was significantly higher among the nurses in the corona section (6 times) compared to those in the non-corona section (3 times). The two groups were also significantly different regarding glove protection in daily tasks and glove durability.
The nurses in the corona section had more concerns about medical gloves as a type of personal protective equipment. In addition to health education on controlling and preventing the spread of diseases, raising awareness about the reliability of personal protective equipment can improve nurses\' performance.

摘要：
护士,作为最大的卫生专业人员，处于应对COVID-19疫情的医疗系统的前线。这项研究旨在评估在法尔斯省暴露于冠状病毒时护士对医用手套的确定性和满意度，伊朗南部。
使用方便采样，在COVID-19爆发期间，从设拉子医科大学（SUMS）的8家医院中选择了400名医院护士。关于手套可靠性的问卷，包括任务中的保护，耐用性,完整性和抗撕裂性，感到恐惧，专注于职责，护士对感染冠状病毒的焦虑被分发给选定的护士完成。完成了375份问卷（应答率为93.75%）。在参与者中，180人(48%)在电晕区，195人(52%)几乎不可能与冠状病毒肺炎患者接触。
COVID-19部分和非COVID-19部分护士对COVID-19感染焦虑的平均得分为6.08（2.8）和4.56（2.58），分别为(p<0.05)。一天内手套使用的平均持续时间在两组中几乎相似（约5小时），但电晕科护士更换手套的次数(6次)明显高于非电晕科护士(3次).两组在日常任务中的手套防护和手套耐用性方面也存在显着差异。
电晕区的护士对医用手套作为一种个人防护装备有更多的担忧。除了控制和预防疾病传播的健康教育外，提高对个人防护设备可靠性的认识可以提高护士的绩效。
