Resumo
The COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the entire planet and important behaviors were
reinforced by all health control agencies around the world, such as social
distancing, the use of protective masks and hand hygiene, through washing with
water and soap or application of alcohol gel. The aim of this study was to carry
out an integrative review of the evidence in the literature on the characteristics of
dermatitis induced by hand hygiene products in the context of the COVID-19
pandemic and to carry out a survey of information through a structured
questionnaire on the behavior of the population and the hand hygiene care during
2020. An integrative review of articles was carried out, following the PICOS
strategy, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, between December 2019 and April
2021, with the descriptors: contact dermatitis; hand dermatitis; hand disinfection;
occupational dermatitis; occupational irritant hand dermatitis AND COVID-19;
coronavirus; pandemic; pandemic; SARS-COV-2 with their corresponding terms
in Portuguese and Spanish. The Boolean OR operator was applied between the
terms. The search was performed in PubMed, MEDLINE, LILACS and Scielo
databases. An electronic form was made available online to answer questions
related to hand hygiene and cleaning habits within the context of the COVID-19
pandemic. According to the results, from the search for studies and with double
and triple crossings, 557 articles were found, among these, 24 articles were
selected related to the study topic. The answers to the questions were converted
into numbers and the normality of the distribution of variables was tested using
the Shapiro-Wilk test. The data obtained were analyzed by Student's t and
Wilcoxon statistical tests and correlation analyzes were performed using the
Pearson's Correlation Coefficient using the SPSS software (IBM SPSS Statistics
for Windows, version 25.0.; IBM, Armonk, New York) in the interval 95%
confidence. A total of 1027 responses to the questionnaire were obtained and it
was observed that 21.4% of the participants had COVID-19 and 93% changed
their hand hygiene habits after the pandemic, the habit of using alcohol gel was
one of the biggest changes (83.1 %), 52.2% of the participants learned something
new about cleaning their hands after the pandemic and 74.6% noticed a change
in the skin on their hands after the onset of the pandemic. Among those
interviewed, 8% had to seek medical help for problems with the skin on their
hands. We can conclude that education measures on hand hygiene habits should
persist as important public health actions and the quality of products used for
hand hygiene should be a factor to be considered both by establishments that
provide hygiene products and by purchased products by the users.
