Title: Self-reported Impact of Respirator Use on Healthcare Worker Ability to Perform Patient Care Cord-id: 3n4vyszl Document date: 2020_6_11
ID: 3n4vyszl
Snippet: In a study of 1152 healthcare workers surveyed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, most disagreed that respiratory protective equipment use interferes with patient care but reported that it would affect respirator use compliance if it did. A patient's fear reaction variably influenced self-reported healthcare worker compliance with respirator use. Strategies to improve protective equipment design may remove potential barriers to respirator use and allow better healthcare worker-patient relationships
