Personal Protection Equipment Training as a Virtual Reality Game in Immersive Environments: Development Study and Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Personal Protection Equipment Training as a Virtual Reality Game in Immersive Environments: Development Study and Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Implementing preventive measures such as proper hand hygiene, disinfection protocols, appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE) use, and clean environment maintenance can significantly reduce the risk of such infections [3-5]. Notably, the availability, selection, and proper training of PPE is critical for reducing the risks of nosocomial infections [5,6]. The order of and the correct handling during donning and doffing of PPE is critical for reducing infections.

Nursing Workflow Change in a COVID-19 Inpatient Unit Following the Deployment of Inpatient Telehealth: Observational Study Using a Real-Time Locating System

Nursing Workflow Change in a COVID-19 Inpatient Unit Following the Deployment of Inpatient Telehealth: Observational Study Using a Real-Time Locating System

The impact of inpatient telehealth on infection reduction [7], clinical workflows [8,9], patient safety [10], and personal protective equipment (PPE) utilization [10,11] is still under investigation. In the context of a pandemic, telehealth’s impact on infection control and clinical care is of particular interest, although existing evaluations have relied on PPE inventory data and patient and provider satisfaction surveys [10,11].

Effectiveness and Utility of Virtual Reality Simulation as an Educational Tool for Safe Performance of COVID-19 Diagnostics: Prospective, Randomized Pilot Trial

Effectiveness and Utility of Virtual Reality Simulation as an Educational Tool for Safe Performance of COVID-19 Diagnostics: Prospective, Randomized Pilot Trial

Proper use of hygiene and personal protective equipment (PPE) is paramount to prevent spreading of disease and contamination of health care workers. One possible reason for the high infection rate of COVID-19 is ineffective use of PPE. In Italy, up to 20% of health care workers were initially infected with the disease [2].

Human Factor Considerations in Using Personal Protective Equipment in the COVID-19 Pandemic Context: Binational Survey Study

Human Factor Considerations in Using Personal Protective Equipment in the COVID-19 Pandemic Context: Binational Survey Study

Such PPE typically consists of a completely encapsulated suit and a self-contained breathing apparatus, such as the N95 face mask, which can provide full skin, eye, and respiratory protection. The pervasive requirement to use PPE due to the COVID-19 pandemic emerged with little preparation and rushed deployment, inadequate time for training, and massive use by personnel who are inexperienced or not qualified in the effective use of PPE.
