Abstract

Background : The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has emerged as a major 
healthcare challenge worldwide . The pandemic has necessitated the use of enhanced personal 
protective equipment (PPE) among  healthcare workers (HCW)fighting the disease as a valuable 
asset to the nations. However, there have been various problems associated with the usage of  
PPE for prolonged duration, ranging from its shortage to many skin problems  arising from 
frictional heating, dehydration, etc while wearing them. There is a need to assess these problems 
faced by HCWs both qualitatively and quantitatively for their timely and effective redressal.
