Patients' attitudes towards the use of gloves by healthcare staff.

There is a concern among healthcare providers regarding the use of gloves in non-mandated clinical situations and its impact on patient sensitivities. A convenience sample of 76 Israeli hospital inpatients were surveyed to measure patients' attitudes towards the use of gloves by healthcare providers. The Patient Sensitivity Questionnaire (PSQ) was developed and used to collect the data. Overall, patients were found to have a positive attitude towards the use of gloves in most patient care situations. Significant differences in patient attitudes towards glove use were found based on country of origin and number of hospital admissions in the previous year. The study concluded that hospitalized patients, in general, support healthcare providers' use of gloves. In addition, subjects agreed with the (American) Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations regarding glove use.
