Abstract
The Executive Board of the Indonesian Doctors Association (PB IDI) confirmed that no less than 228 health workers including nurses, died from the corona virus. Lack of oxygen can result in hypoxia, coupled with the use of Hazmat and a longer number of shift hours, this results in increased body heat. Body heat is closely related to fluid balance, the higher the body heat, the more sweat that comes out, if not balanced with fluid replacement it will cause dehydration. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. This type of research is a quasi-experimental design with a “group pre and posttest design”. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the average decrease in oxygen saturation was 4% and examination of Dehydration Status through urine color with an average increase of 1.1. Results of Oxygen Saturation Based on the statistical analysis Wilcoxon test p value <0.05 and Dehydration Status Assessment Based on the Wilcoxon test statistical analysis, the value of p <0.05, so from these results it could be concluded that there was an effect on the use of personal protective equipment.
