ABSTRACT
Objective. Recommendations for personal protective equipment emerged as a priority in pandemic. Application of resources to prevent infection in personnel has been a priority. However, other variables of the social context must be considered. Methods. Systematic review, descriptive, transversal analysis of PubMed’s databases. The key words explored were Covid PPE, Covid Transportation PPE, Covid violence PPE. The results were analyzed under a qualitative analysis, and were considered a reference for strategic plans. Results. For the Covid PPE, 940 publications were found, 22 for transportation and zero for violence. The idea that PPE is limited to equipment prevails and considerations about social determinants as part of concept of protection against the pandemic are less frequent. The most relevant recommended actions obtained from 15 publications were analyzed qualitatively, taking those references to generate guidelines. Conclusions. The concept of PPE continues to be oriented towards physical equipment. Without considering the protection inherent to the social determinants of health. Adopted strategies such as specialized transportation for personnel and security strategies in the public road deserve attention to inhibit hostile behaviors, generated by misinformation. This is according to the social context are also part of the protection, in the frameworks of technical, legal and bioethical support.REFERENCES
