?:abstract
  • OBJECTIVE: Identify, summarise and present key recommendations published in the literature to prevent skin damage in health professionals as a result of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the covid-19 pandemic. METHOD: A scoping review, based on the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines, was carried out between December 2019 and May 2020. The studies included male and female health professionals, who wore PPE during the global pandemic, in any given scenario. Headings and abstracts were analysed. Two independent investigators reviewed the full text. RESULTS: Eight publications were included. All of them focused on preventing pressure ulcers (PU) caused by PPE. Hygiene, hydration and the use of skin barriers were highlighted as preventive measures. There were different views around the type of humectant/skin barrier recommended to avoid skin damage. CONCLUSION: More studies identifying the most suitable strategies to maintain health professionals\' skin integrity during the covid-19 pandemic are needed.
