PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

1.1K
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Obedience01:08

Obedience

33.0K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical professionalism
  • Patient perception
  • Surgical attire

Background:

  • Surgeon dress codes have evolved, lacking rigid uniform guidelines.
  • Patient ideals and perceptions of surgeon attire are important to explore.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate patient preferences for surgeon attire.
  • To analyze how hospital, gender, and age influence these preferences.

Main Methods:

  • Observational study using paper-based questionnaires across three hospitals.
  • Descriptive analysis and association testing (chi-square, Fisher's exact test) of survey responses.
  • Data analyzed using SAS v9.4 with a 5% significance level.

Main Results:

  • Scrubs were the overwhelmingly preferred attire across all questions.
  • Smart attire was the second most popular choice, with variations for weekends/holidays.
  • Significant associations found between attire preference and hospital location.

Conclusions:

  • Patients prefer surgeons in scrubs for clear identification and increased confidence.
  • Attire preferences varied significantly between Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital, Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, and Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre.
