Perceptions of Glove Use During Vaccination: A Cross-Sectional Study
Purpose:
To better understand clinic attendees' perceptions of nonsterile glove (NSG) use during vaccination and their concern for the environment.
Design:
This was a cross-sectional, self-administered, in-person survey.
Methods:
A nonrandom volunteer sample of vaccination clinic attendees (n = 789) completed a survey assessing their perception of NSG use during influenza vaccination administration and their concern for the environment.
Findings:
Nearly all respondents equated NSG use with increased safety and professionalism. More than half of respondents reported feeling concerned about environmental waste associated with NSG use.
Conclusions:
NSG are not indicated for routine vaccination. Adherence to evidence-based practices on NSG use during vaccination can substantially reduce associated medical waste. Nurses can lead by example by only using NSG when indicated.
