MATEOS RODRIGUEZ, Jesús. Dissonances in the images transmitted by the media in epidemic outbreaks about of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.2, pp.46-55. Epub 19-Out-2020. ISSN 3020-1160.
Objectives:
To underline how the images disseminated by the media to illustrate news on outbreaks, can contribute to confusion regarding the PPE to be used for the different activities and the way in which they are used.
Material and Methods:
Images that illustrate news about the coronavirus outbreak that appeared in different media are analyzed, and those that we have called dissonances in terms of the PPE used and how they are used are highlighted.
Results and Discussion:
Differences are observed in the PPE used and in the way they are placed in the referred images. This can contribute to the misunderstanding and insecurity of the health professionals who have to use them.
Conclusions:
It would be very useful to unify and standardize equipment for different tasks as well as placement and removal protocols, with the proper training of professionals.
Palavras-chave : Dissonances; media images; epidemic outbreaks; PPE.
