PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning01:22

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...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Technology
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) significantly impact patient well-being and healthcare costs.
  • Frequent repositioning is a key HAPI prevention strategy, but compliance remains a challenge.
  • Wearable sensors offer a technological solution to enhance patient repositioning compliance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical outcomes associated with using wearable sensors for HAPI prevention.

Main Methods:

  • An integrative review of eleven articles was conducted.
  • Studies were appraised by two independent reviewers using the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Research Appraisal Tool.

Main Results:

  • Wearable sensors adoption correlated with increased adherence to turning protocols.
  • Implementation of wearable sensors led to a reduction in HAPIs and associated healthcare expenses.
  • No significant improvement in the quality of patient turns was observed.
  • Staff reported positive experiences but highlighted the need for technological training.

Conclusions:

  • Wearable sensors show promise in enhancing HAPI prevention by improving compliance and reducing costs.
  • Further research is necessary to establish the definitive efficacy of wearable sensors in preventing pressure injuries.
  • Adequate training is crucial for the effective integration of wearable sensor technology into clinical practice.
