title: Improving compliance with universal precautions: effectiveness of interventions.
abstract: 1. Compliance with universal barrier precautions is associated with the type of patient contact, such as emergent or nonemergent. Compliance may also vary by the type of barrier and health care worker group. 2. Stronger research designs are needed to determine the effect of interventions on improving health care workers' use of barrier precautions. 3. Occupational health nurses have the opportunity to take a leadership role to resolve issues that include accessibility to proper fitting gloves and safe work practice procedures.
