Effectiveness of double gloving compared to single gloving in hospitals to reduce percutaneous injuries and cross infections in healthcare workers
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-06-14) Bellido Zambrano, Joe Ronald; Rivera Lozada De Bonilla, Oriana
Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of the use of double gloves compared to the use of single gloves in hospitals to reduce percutaneous injuries and cross infections in health personnel. Materials and Methods: systematic review, 10 full-text articles were chosen, where 1 belongs to Finland, 2 to the USA, 1 to Nigeria, 2 to China, 2 to Spain, 1 to Mexico and 1 to the United Kingdom respectively. Quantitative studies and design corresponding to systematic reviews (4), Prospective (2), Clinical Trial (3) and Experimental (1) were reviewed. Results: Of the articles reviewed, 100% indicate that the use of double gloves compared to the use of single gloves in hospitals is more effective in terms of protection and reduction of percutaneous injuries and cross infections. Conclusions: The use of double or double-layer gloves considerably reduces the incidence of percutaneous injuries and therefore definitively reduces cross infections due to exposure to pathogens.

Risk factors that predispose workers in the sewing area of a textile company to occupational injury
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2015) Bellido Zambrano, Joe Ronald; Coronel Noa, Anngie Judith; Borda Izquierdo, Alejandro
Objective: To identify the risk factors that predispose workers to occupational damage in the sewing area at the textile company RENATO S.A.C. Methodology: The study was descriptive and quantitative, as it measured four dimensions (physical, chemical, psychosocial, and ergonomic) in 50 workers from the sewing area of a textile company between October and December, using a questionnaire instrument. Results: It was found that 50% of the workers were aged 23 to 28 years, with a predominance of males (52%), and 80% had secondary-level education. The most common type of contract was a fixed-term contract, which accounted for 84% of the workers. The study results indicated that physical (54%), chemical (64%), and ergonomic (54%) risk factors were the most prevalent and posed the greatest threat to occupational damage, as these factors were moderately (tending to highly) predisposed to workers. Conclusion: It was concluded that the physical, chemical, and ergonomic risk factors were the main contributors to potential occupational damage for workers at the textile company. These risk factors could lead to physiological alterations that may affect the workers’ health in either a reversible or irreversible manner.
