Abstract

This article aims to describe the supervision of nurses in the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), in a general hospital in the municipality of São Paulo. It was a descriptive study, with a population of 20 nurses who answered a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. The subjects, most of them were women aged 20-30 years and employed for less than three years in the hospital. As for PPE, 90% said that the institution provides adequate training for its use, 95% report that there is availability and there is resistance to 60% of the Nursing staff in its use. Direct observation (95%), individual counseling (% 85) and group discussion (80%) are the measures for the supervision and encouragement to its use. The use of PPE in the healthcare practice is a challenge for nurses and supervisors.
