Research study SURVEY: Non-sterile glove use when administering injections

[FLora Feng]

Hello everyone!

We are conducting a research study to explore the attitudes and practices of Australian
nurses and midwives regarding the use of non-sterile gloves during intramuscular (IM) and
subcutaneous (SC) injections. This is important as glove use practices have implications for
health care safety and quality, however attitudes and practices may vary across settings.

We are seeking Australian nurses and midwives who are clinically active. This is because this
group comprises the largest sector of healthcare professionals and are likely to have a
substantial role in administering IM/SC injections.

Taking part in this study will involve completing an anonymous online survey. The survey will
take approximately 5-10 minutes and will include questions about your specific attitudes and
practices regarding non-sterile glove use when administering IM/SC injections. There is also
an opportunity to participate in a focus group on this topic – if you indicate you are
interested you will be asked to provide your contact details at the end of the survey.

Please contact Professor Tamara Power (tamara.power@sydney.edu.au) if you would like
further information about this study or have any questions.

This study has been approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) of The
University of Sydney HE001184.
