“…Pernyataan tersebut didukung oleh hasil studi yang menyatakan bahwa perawat yang merawat pasien COVID-19 melakukan enam kali pergantian sarung tangan, sedangkan perawat yang tidak langsung merawat pasien COVID-19 melakukan pergantian sarung tangan sebanyak tiga kali (Jahangiri et al, 2021). Fenomenanya tenaga kesehatan menggunakan sarung tangan tidak sesuai dengan pedoman seperti menggunakan sarung tangan lebih sering dari yang diperlukan, tidak melakukan kebersihan tangan sebelum menggunakan sarung tangan dan keyakinan bahwa sarung tangan memberikan perlindungan yang cukup (Do Rio et al, 2021).…”

“…Sarung tangan harus diganti ketika berpindah prosedur dan pasien, serta melakukan kebersihan tangan sebelum dan sesudah pemakaian sarung tangan. Penggunaan sarung tangan yang tidak tepat dapat menyebabkan pemborosan dan tidak berkonstribusi dalam mengurangi transmisi silang karena penggunaan sarung tangan yang tidak tepat indikasi, hilangnya kesempatan menjaga kebersihan tangan karena persepsi tenaga kesehatan yang menganggap bahwa sarung tangan telah melindungi sepenuhnya sehingga tidak melakukan kebersihan tangan sebelum maupun sesudah pemakaian sarung tangan, dan terjadinya penularan kuman karena waktu dan teknik pemakaian juga pelepasan sarung tangan tidak tepat (Do Rio et al, 2021;Lindberg & Skytt, 2020).…”

This study aims to identify factors that influence compliance with the use of non-sterile gloves among health workers. The method used is a literature review. There are ten articles obtained from online databases on Pubmed, Science Direct, and other sources. Articles were selected using PRISMA and article appraisal. The results of this study show that health workers use gloves not in accordance with guidelines such as not carrying out hand hygiene before and after using gloves, using gloves more often than necessary, and failing to remove or change gloves at the right time. Factors that encourage health workers to wear non-sterile gloves are personal protection, patient protection, motivation to create a professional image and follow in the footsteps of seniors. Meanwhile, misuse and non-compliance with the use of gloves is influenced by a lack of knowledge and situational understanding of indications for use, age, gender, discomfort due to the use of PPE, lack of availability and access to PPE, attitude of health workers, and lack of supervision. In conclusion, health workers' compliance in using gloves can be improved with health education about controlling and preventing the spread of disease, training and refreshers in the proper use of PPE, supervision and management support to increase the availability and accessibility of PPE.

“…However, the use of gloves is often pointed out as a barrier that hinders the proper practice of hand hygiene [1,[4][5][6]. Some researchers suspect that this behavior is motivated by the desire for personal safety [5][6][7][8]. In this sense, Baloh et al [4] reinforce the use of gloves as a barrier to compliance with hand hygiene, as health professionals generally use gloves for their own protection and sanitize their hands mainly to protect the patient.…”

“…Adherence to the basic principles of asepsis is a historical problem that, even today, deserves to be analyzed from an individual and organizational point of view. Breaking with the difficulty of adhering to these good care practices is undoubtedly a challenge faced by health institutions worldwide [5][6][7][8]. The concept of self-efficacy seems promising to us to explore the topic at hand, considering that it refers to the belief that the individual has about his/her ability to successfully perform a certain activity.…”

Adherence to hand hygiene procedures and the use of gloves is a problem that deserves to be analyzed from an individual and organizational point of view. For this, we aim to develop and validate an instrument for measuring the self-efficacy of health professionals for practicing hand hygiene and using gloves. We evaluated the metric properties of validity and reliability for measuring the self-efficacy of health professionals for practicing hand hygiene and using gloves. Fifteen health and education professionals formed the judges committee to construct the instrument for measuring the self-efficacy of health professionals for practicing hand hygiene and using gloves. Moreover, 362 nursing professionals participated in this study that was carried out from 2017 to 2020. The construct validity by known groups was confirmed by comparing the means of self-efficacy of the self-efficacy of health professionals for practicing hand hygiene and using gloves with the variables sex and unit of activity. The convergent construct validity showed a weak correlation between the scores of the self-efficacy of health professionals for practicing hand hygiene and using gloves instrument, and the perceived general self-efficacy scale. This instrument is easy to apply and can be used in the assessment of behavioral determinants, regarding hand hygiene and the use of gloves, in other health professionals, considering the generalization and scope of the items.

Background Healthcare-associated infections are among the most common complications during hospitalization. These infections increase morbidity and mortality and they increase length of hospital stay and the cost of healthcare. The aims of our study were to monitor hand hygiene (HH) compliance, HH technique quality and factors related to HH practice among health professionals in a COVID-19 Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods An observational, prospective study. Between September and December 2021, we observed 69 healthcare professionals in an eight-bed ICU for patients with COVID-19 in midwestern Brazil. We used the WHO observation form to collect data. The dependent variable was HH compliance and independent variables were professional category, sex, HH quality (3-step technique for at least 15 s), number of HH opportunities observed, observation shift and inappropriate glove use. Results We observed 1185 HH opportunities. The overall compliance rate was 26.4%, but only 6.5% were performed with the correct 3-step technique for the minimum time. HH compliance was considerably lower for moments “before” tasks (6.7%; 95% CI 4.8%, 9.2%) compared with moments “after” tasks (43.8%; 95% CI 39.9%, 47.8%). The logistic model found that inappropriate glove use, night shift and physicians (p < 0.001) were associated with low HH compliance. The infrastructure analysis found that the unit had an insufficient number of alcohol-based handrub (ABHR) dispensers at the point of care and that the mechanism for activating them was poorly designed. Conclusions HH compliance was very low. Inappropriate glove use was associated with low compliance and the unit’s infrastructure did not support good HH practice. The fact that healthcare professionals were more likely to do HH after tasks, suggests that they use HH to protect themselves rather than the patients. Adequate infrastructure and ongoing health education with a focus on HH while caring for patients in contact precautions are essential for improving HH compliance and patient safety.
