Resumen

RARAZ-VIDAL, Jarvis Giusseppe et al. Work conditions and personal protective equipment against Covid-19 in health personnel, Lima-Peru. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.2, pp.335-345. ISSN 1814-5469.  http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v21i2.3608.

Objective:

To determine the association between working conditions and access to personal protective equipment (PPE) in health personnel in the city of Lima-Perú.

Methods:

Descriptive, cross-sectional and analytical study. The sample was of 271 respondents virtually in the city of Lima, who met the selection criteria, captured between 07/09/2020 to 08/09/2020. The data collection instrument was validated by expert judgment with a score> 80% (content validity). An analysis was carried out with the generalized linear model of the Poisson family, log link function, robust models with fit. A statistically significant value of p <0.05 was considered.

Results:

The 55% of health personnel (HCP) worked more than 12 hours and only 53% received one PPE per day of work. 40% of the HCP almost never received a mask. In the multivariate analysis, the SP with ages <26 years (p=0.00) and from 26 to 55 years (p=0.00) received an incomplete PPE. The HCPs who did not have an employment relationship with the institution (p=0.02) received a mask on few occasions.

Conclusion:

Health personnel under the age of 56 rarely received PPE. When they work without an employment relationship, they sometimes receive a mask.
