Abstract Objective: To investigate the current use of goggles among hospital staff during the COVID-19 outbreak, so as to provide guidelines for protecting staff scientifically and effectively. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a questionnaire and a convenience sampling strategy. Data was collected from 1 050 employees, including 69 doctors (6.6%), 945 nurses (90%), 24 administrative staff (2.3%), and 6 support staff (0.6%) at 169 hospitals by using a self-designed questionnaire, which consisted of questions about basic information and the use of goggles. Results: In this study, it was found that during the COVID-19 outbreak, 380 hospital employees (36.2%) did not wear goggles while in the hospital, of which 171(45.1%) were clinical front-line medical staff. Among 670 employees who wore goggles, 488 people reported discomfort (72.8% of wearers), the major reason for discomfort reported by 375 wearers (76.8% of wearers) was the issue of fogging. This issue was reported by 615 wearers (91.8% of wearers). Its impact on performing their work can be considerably huge. 401 employees (65.2% of those who reported fogging) had experienced moderate or serious impact from fogging, which caused blurred vision and reduced work efficiency. In severe cases, work could not be performed. Moreover, 243 employees (39.5% of those who reported fogging) urgently required the problem of fogging goggles be solved, while 361 people (58.7% of those who reported fogging) were expecting the problem to be solved. In addition, high-risk individuals were more inclined to use hand sanitizers, iodine and soap detergents to prevent the goggles from fogging; nonhigh-risk individuals were more inclined to use paper towels on the bridge of the nose, iodophor, and antibacterial hand sanitizer to prevent fogging. Conclusions: A relatively low rate of investigated hospital staff wear goggles. Fogging is the main issue that hospital staff did not wear goggles during the outbreak. If goggles fog up, it can lead to a reduction in efficiency and an increase in exposure risks and difficulties of providing medical services. Therefore, it is suggested that medical staff be guided to adopt scientific measures to avoid fogging of goggles during clinical work.
