Abstract

There is clear evidence that gloves are often misused in clinical practice, which puts patients at increased risk of infection. New evidence suggests there are two main influences on health professionals’ to wear gloves: socialisation, reflecting the expectations of peers, or the ; and emotion, the response to a sense of disgust and need for self-protection. This article explores the extent of glove misuse why they are misused, and suggests to address the problem.
