Abstract

Objective: The present research aimed to analyze the handcrafted face shields donated by the philanthropic group “Amor em Foco” to health professionals regarding the variables contained in ANVISA’s n° 356 resolution, which concern: comfort, not causing accidents, stability and adjustment. Furthermore, the present study also analyzed the variables cost, production time and quantity of facial protectors manufactured. Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive and inferential study which included 45 health professionals. Data was obtained from establishments which are under custody of the Municipal Health Department of Belém, carried out between August and December 2020 through a survey containing 5 questions on a 5-point Likert scale. The internal consistency of the questionnaire was tested using Cronbach's Alpha and McDonald's Omega Coefficient. Data were analyzed using Jamovi software, with a significance level of 5%, with the exception of univariate analyzes of the regressions performed (conservative significance level of 20%). Results: A high level of satisfaction was obtained in the variables tested: 96% for “comfort”, 98% for “does not cause accidents”, 95% for “stability during use”, 89% for “ease of elastic adjustment” and 100% of “recommendation for other health professionals”. The homemade face shields proved to be more affordable and with less production time compared to other authorized models (19 times lower cost and 27 times lower production time than 3D printed models). Conclusion: The face shields donated by “Amor em foco” were able to provide a temporary solution during COVID-19 pandemic aligned with the variables advocated by ANVISA.
