Most primary care providers in PCPs believe that governments are responsible for stockpiling and providing PPE during pandemics [ 12, 24].
Non-clinical staff was more confident in the hospital's ability to protect safety and provide PPE compared to clinical staff (OR 1.43, 95%% CI: 1.15-1.78).
Finally, almost all the workers, regardless of the job type, were confident in the hospital's ability to provide PPE and protect their safety in the event of a disaster, with non-clinical staff reporting greater odds of confidence in the hospital's ability to provide them PPE.
As shown in Table 4, non-clinical staff had 1.43 greater odds of being more confident in the hospital's ability to provide PPE and safety precautions compared to clinical staff (OR 1.43; 95 % CI: 1.15-1.78).
Logistic regression was used to determine the association among willingness to report to work in the event of a disaster, participant characteristics and personal needs, whereas the factors affecting health care workers' level of confidence in the hospital's ability to provide PPE were examined using cumulative logistic regression models [8].
Analysis of the relationship among the participants' demographics, their job type and their confidence in the hospital's ability to provide PPE was performed using the response variable confidence, which had three ordinal levels: very confident, somewhat confident and not confident at all.
These procedures included establishing an isolation facility; ensuring safe water, sanitation, and waste disposal; and providing PPE for staff (11 ).
Without explicit guidelines that designate who is responsible for providing PPE during pandemics, supplies of PPE are likely to be inadequate.
In addition, there is no evidence that the women were provided with PPE, such as chemically resistant gloves and clothing to reduce dermal exposure to pesticides.
