Test of the Fishbein and Ajzen models as predictors of health care workers' glove use

Nurses' Intentions to Wear Gloves During Venipuncture Procedures: A Behavioral Psychology Perspective

“…1,5,8 Physicians who had a positive perception of the behavioral norm had 15 times greater odds of having a strong intention to wear gloves, compared with physicians who had a moderate or negative perception of the norm. 5 Perceived behavioral control reflects the underlying perceived consequences, because a perceived negative consequence may reduce perceived behavioral con-trol over uncertainties and will have a negative impact on behavioral intention.…”

“…Indeed, the intention to wear gloves has not been shown to be influenced by other important individuals, such as coworkers or supervisors. 2,8 As such, it is likely that individual nurses will tend to adopt glove use more easily if they can clearly identify this behavior in terms of a positive outcome in the working environment. These work-environment outcomes, which may also be negative, are often dependent on previous experience, 3 and this study clearly demonstrates that the nurses who scored high on intention were more likely to have had 2 favorable experiences related to glove use, as well as more years of nursing experience.…”

Using the Theory of Planned Behavior to Elicit Restaurant Employee Beliefs about Food Safety: Using Surveys Versus Focus Groups

“…For example, it is utilized to better understand healthcare professionals' behavior towards patients (e.g., Godin, Naccache & Fortin, 1998;Godin, Naccache, Morel & Ebacher, 2000;Jenner, Watson, Miller, Jones & Scott, 2002;Levin, 1999;Liabsuetrakul, Chongsuvivatwong, Lumiganon & Lindmark, 2003;O'Boyle, Henly & Larson, 2001). The theory is employed to understand ethical decision-making in the workplace (e.g., Flannery & May, 2000;Kurland, 1995;Randall & Gibson, 1991), employee health (e.g., Boudreau, Godin, Pineau & Bradet, 1995;Harrison & Liska, 1994;Sheeran & Silverman, 2003), and employee compliance with workplace policies (e.g., Boissonneault & Godin, 1990).…”

Estratégia multimodal na promoção da higiene das mãos: atributos para aceitação e tolerância das preparações alcoólicas

“…A falta de rigor com as práticas de controle de infecção, principalmente no que se refere à adesão a HM, tem sido demonstrada em diversos estudos, que relatam taxas de adesão inferiores a 60% em diferentes realidades de assistência à saúde (O'BOYLE, HENLY, LARSON, 2001;GOPAL et al, 2002;HARBARTH et al, 2002;HUGONNET, PERNEGER, PITTET, 2002;PITTET, 2005;WHITBY et al, 2007;HASS, LARSON, 2008;RUEF, 2009;CAMARGO et al, 2009;ATIF et al, 2009;HOMSTED, 2009;HAKKO et al, 2011 (LARSON, 1999;NOGUERAS et al, 2001;CDC, 2002;ELLIOT, 1992 (SETO, 1995;LEVIN, 1999;GODIN et al, 2000;GIROU et al, 2008;BRAUN, KUSEK, LARSON, 2009;FERREIRA et al, 2009;HOWARD et al, 2009;ROCHA et al, 2009;TENÍAS et al, 2009;HAKKO et al, 2011 A adesão ao procedimento de HM em estabelecimentos de assistência à saúde é um problema que merece ser analisado do ponto de vista individual e organizacional. Deste modo, romper com as dificuldades de adesão à HM é um desafio emergente, e apesar da expressiva evolução tecnológica ainda não se ultrapassou a etapa inicial da conscientização pessoal e organizacional quanto à efetividade desta prática nos cenários de assistência (SETO, 1995;LEVIN, 1999;GODIN et al,2000;LARSON et al, 2000;O'BOYLE, HENLY, LARSON, 2001;GOPAL et al, 2002;PITTET, 2005;WHITBY et al, 2007;GIROU et al, 2008;…”
