ABSTRACT
This study aimed to develop and verify the effect of a new personal protective equipment donning and doffing program for nurses in military hospitals. A total of 40 nurses (20 experimental group, 20 control group) participated in this nonequivalent control group experimental study. The new program consisted of the description of the design modification of the inner and outer boundary marks of coveralls and a video with verbal instructions and footswitch that the participants could watch at their own pace. Data collection was carried out before, immediately after, and 2 weeks after the intervention. The effects of the program on accuracy, self-efficacy, and time were analyzed using a generalized estimating equation. PPE donning and doffing accuracy, self-efficacy, and time were significantly increased in the experimental group compared to those in the control group, both immediately after and 2 weeks after intervention. As this program has been confirmed to be effective in improving PPE donning and doffing accuracy and self-efficacy, we recommend using this program for training nurses on donning and doffing of PPE.
