未经评估:自2019年12月以来,致命的COVID-19大流行席卷全球。由于感染的巨大风险,前线卫生工作者必须使用个人防护设备和手部卫生用品,帮助预防感染的传播。本研究旨在比较医护人员(HCW)和非医护人员(NHCW)之间的不良皮肤反应。
未经批准:描述性的,对全国的HCW和NHCW进行了横断面研究。使用自结构化问卷在两个月的时间内使用多阶段抽样从404HCWs和826NHCWs中收集数据。使用STATA(v16)分析数据。
UNASSIGNED:41.87%的研究参与者经历了不良皮肤反应,其中HCW(65.10%)比NHCW(30.51%)更普遍。最常报告的皮肤状况是皮肤干燥(34.39%),其次是脱皮(11.71%)。使用含酒精的洗手液(ABHS)的人更容易发痒(8.13%),而肥皂水使用者更容易出现皮肤脱皮(35.74%)和皮疹(7.46%)。职业与不良皮肤反应之间存在显着关联(p<0.001),与HCW相比,HCW出现不良皮肤表现的可能性是NHCW的3.5倍。
UNASSIGNED:研究表明,医护人员发生皮肤反应的风险高于整体人群,频繁使用手卫生措施是一个重要的风险因素。
UNASSIGNED: The deadly COVID-19 pandemic has swept the globe since December 2019. Due to the significant risk of infection, frontline health workers had to use Personal Protective Equipment and hand hygiene products, to help prevent transmission of infection. The present study aims to compare the adverse skin responses between healthcare workers (HCW) and non-healthcare workers (NHCW).
UNASSIGNED: A descriptive, cross-sectional study of HCW and NHCW throughout the country wa executed. A self-structured questionnaire was utilized to gather data from 404 HCWs and 826 NHCWs during a two-month period using multistage sampling. STATA (v16) was used to analyse the data.
UNASSIGNED: 41.87% of the study participants experienced adverse skin reactions, which were more prevalent amongs HCW (65.10%) than NHCW (30.51%). The most frequently reported skin condition was skin dryness (34.39%), followed by skin peeling (11.71%). Users of alcohol-based hand sanitizers (ABHS) were more likely to get itch (8.13%), whereas soap water users were more likely to suffer from skin peeling (35.74%) and rash (7.46%). There was a significant (p < 0.001) association between occupation and adverse skin responses, with HCW being 3.5 times more likely to have adverse skin manifestations than NHCW.
UNASSIGNED: The research showed that healthcare workers were at a greater risk to developing skin reactions than the overall population with frequent use of hand hygiene measures being a significant risk factor.
