Abstract

Training by the fit test and fit check are essential to use the N95 Filtering Facepiece Respirator. A survey of N95 respirator fitting with no guidance and group guidance including fit check and fit test was carried out to assess the importance of training. As a result, 48 of 79 health care workers working at “S” hospital could not fit the N95 respirator correctly. These health-care workers were divided into a guidance group and no guidance group. N95 respirator fitting was better in the guidance group (p<0.05), indicating the importance of training and the effectiveness of group guidance. However, 36% of the guidance group could not successfully fit the respirator. These health care workers need individual guidance and workers who cannot fit the N95 respirator should be provided with another type of respirator.
