However, their topic-specific education levels and extent of engagement in infection-control issues are diverse, creating potential needs for additional training. We aimed at determining the potential need for additional training in infection-control among ICN, ICLP and medical Chief Executive Officers (CEO) in hospitals of the Multiresistance Network of southern Lower Saxony (MRNS), via structured surveys (n=48; 55.1%). Our data suggest that the majority of ICN as well as ICLP have unmet needs for consultation and training on the topics of hospital hygiene and infection control. We observed a higher need for advice/additional information among ICLP than among ICN, e.g., concerning outbreaks (p=0.032), multidrug resistance (p=0.005) or antimicrobial stewardship (p=0.020). Therefore, future training programs might require targeting workforce-specific topics as part of their curricula. Furthermore, the improvement of the knowledge of ICN and ICLP for the implementation of infection control could contribute to improved prevention of the transmission of infectious diseases."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3205/dgkh000409"],["dc.identifier.pmid","35707228"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/112297"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.issn","2196-5226"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.title","Determining the need for additional training among hospital infection-control workforce - results from a multicentric survey within the multiresistance network of southern Lower Saxony (MRNS), Germany"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Therefore, the study aimed to analyse the effect of wearing face masks on self-perceived dry mouth and halitosis. A questionnaire addressing the daily wearing time of different face masks (community masks, surgical/medical masks and KN95-/N95-/FFP2-masks) and self-perceived dry mouth and halitosis was given to adults attending or working at a university hospital. Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon signed-rank test and multiple linear regression analysis (p < 0.05). 3750 participants (age: 50.4 ± 15.5 years; 60.0% female) were included. During the pandemic, face masks were used for 4.7 ± 3.8 h per day: community masks: 0.9 ± 2.0 h, medical/surgical masks: 1.9 ± 2.8 h and KN95-/N95-/FFP2-masks: 1.9 ± 2.5 h per day. The use of face masks significantly increased self-perceived dry mouth and halitosis (both p < 0.001). Self-perceived dry mouth and halitosis increased with increasing wearing time (community masks: dry mouth: p < 0.001, halitosis: p = 0.014; medical/surgical masks: both: p < 0.001; KN95-/N95-/FFP2-masks: dry mouth: p < 0.001, halitosis: p = 0.011). The perception of dry mouth and halitosis was increased in females compared to males (both: p < 0.001). Participants used to wearing face masks prior to the pandemic perceived dry mouth to a higher extent (p = 0.043). Self-perceived halitosis was lower in older than in younger participants (p < 0.001). Due to the increased perception of dry mouth and halitosis, people might abstain from wearing face masks. Further studies need to analyse measurable changes in dry mouth or halitosis."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open Access Publication Funds of Göttingen University"],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2021"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3390/ijerph18179180"],["dc.identifier.pmcid","PMC8431486"],["dc.identifier.pmid","34501768"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/17863"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/89257"],["dc.identifier.url","https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/18/17/9180"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.eissn","1660-4601"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Poliklinik für Präventive Zahnmedizin, Parodontologie und Kariologie"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Krankenhaushygiene und Infektiologie"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.gro","COVID-19"],["dc.subject.gro","dry mouth"],["dc.subject.gro","face masks"],["dc.subject.gro","halitosis"],["dc.title","COVID-19 Pandemic: Effect of Different Face Masks on Self-Perceived Dry Mouth and Halitosis"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
