TL;DR
Perceived consequences and normative beliefs, as well as sex and years of nursing experience, significantly influenced nurses' behavioral intentions, suggesting that improvements in intention to comply are more likely to come from practical demonstrations that show nurses the potential outcomes of both using and not using gloves.
Abstract
Registered nurses working at a teaching hospital in Kuwait were surveyed to assess the psychosocial variables associated with their intention to comply with glove-wearing recommendations. Perceived consequences and normative beliefs, as well as sex and years of nursing experience, significantly influenced their behavioral intentions, suggesting that improvements in intention to comply are more likely to come from practical demonstrations that show nurses the potential outcomes of both using and not using gloves.

This study supports earlier findings regarding several compliance correlates, but it identifies important new variables, such as the organizational safety climate and perceived conflict of interest, which will probably succeed in facilitating employee compliance.

Results indicated that descriptive norms do not exert a direct influence on behavior, but perceived benefits moderated the relationship between descriptive norms and behavioral intention and perceived similarity moderates the relation between descriptivenorms and self-efficacy.

This comparative study showed that to exercise regularly is perceived as hard work, and individuals believe that it is their own responsibility to exercise or not to exercise, and the Triandis model was superior to the Fishbein and Ajzen model in explaining behavioral intention.

Structural equation modeling showed that the hypothesized model did a better job predicting general compliance than compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE; R2 = .18), and all 3 categories of diagnostic factors influenced general compliance, but predisposing factors were relatively unimportant for compliance with PPE.

It is suggested that perception of control, assessed either globally or by means of a belief-based measure, is a key factor in adherence to Universal Precautions.

The theory of planned behavior extension was a viable model to study behavior related to glove use and reducing workers' risks to bloodborne diseases, and was the most parsimonious model.

A model to assess factors influencing the intention to adopt recommendations from health technology assessment into professional practice is offered and results identify determinant factors that should be considered in the elaboration of strategies to support the implementation of evidence-based practice.

Interventions should reinforce the perception that the use of gloves is the norm among medical professionals, and emphasize the advantages of wearing gloves, counteract the perceived disadvantages of wearing them, and enhance the ability of physicians to circumvent the difficulties of wearing Gloves when required.
