Abstract :
- COVID-19 is one of the viruses that can cause
respiratory tract infections in humans ranging from
coughs and colds to more dying problems, such as MERS
and SARS. The hospital is one of the means of
transmission for other people so that it becomes a special
concern in the application of the use of PPE. The use of
PPE correctly or according to established standards can
minimize the risk of transmission rates. However, there
are still some health workers who are categorized as
lacking in the proper use of PPE. The purpose of this study
is to find out what factors can affect nurses' noncompliance in using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The method used in this
study is a systematic review through a review of journals
or articles accessed from internet database searches.
PubMed, Ebsco and Google scholar. This study analyzed
10 international articles that were selected based on the
criteria of the PRISMA protocol. The results obtained are
that many health workers do not comply with the use of
PPE. In the results of a literature review of 10 articles, it
is known that there are many factors that influence a
nurse's non-compliance in using PPE, one of which is the
most dominant being knowledge of the use of PPE
according to standards which is still minimal due to lack
of special training in the use of PPE during the Covid-19
pandemic. This is also evidenced by research which shows
that there are still many health workers who remove PPE
incorrectly or not according to applicable SOP standards,
so special training and strict supervision of health workers
are needed. Increased knowledge can increase the level of
nurse compliance with the use of personal protective
equipment
