Corresponding author: Moussa Benboubker Medical and Nursing Department, Hassan II University Teaching Hospital of FesMorocco Email: benboubker.chh2@gmail.com Abstract Gloves are worn to protect from contamination by microorganisms; this measure is intended to protect the hands of health care workers and to minimize the risk of transmission of infectious agents to patients. This survey aims to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning the use of disposable gloves among the nursing staff of the Hassan II University Hospital in Fes. This is a prospective and evaluative cross-sectional study covering two months. Data were collected using an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire. The population studied was quite young, 76.5 percent of them being between 20 and 30 years of age. Results showed that 264 (85.99%) of the participants had received training in disposable glove mastery. Moreover, 161 (52.3%) of the participants reported always changing disposable gloves from one patient to another. In contrast, 231 (75.2%) emphasized the need to change gloves every time they came into contact with blood or other body fluids. However, studies using self-administered questionnaires, as in our survey, provide information about self-reported claims and are not always related to practical implications. Inappropriate use of gloves was frequently reported in this study. This survey showed a misconception of risk in various practice situations, with some results of over-use of gloves reflecting this engendered sense of personal protection.
