Experience of Chicagoland acute care hospitals in preparing for Ebola virus disease, 2014–2015	2019-07-08		.txt	text/plain	6055	298	45	During the 2014–2015 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak, hospitals in the United States selected personal protective equipment (PPE) and trained healthcare personnel (HCP) in anticipation of receiving EVD patients. Semistructured interviews were conducted with HCP involved with decision-making during EVD preparations at acute care hospitals in the Chicago, IL area to gather information about the PPE selection and training process. For example, an interviewed trainer from a hospital where HCP "wanted to be encased [in PPE] like a mummy" noted that preferences "started to change after like the 4th or 5th simulation where people were like, '[M]an, [I] can't work like this.'" When asked to identify the three training modalities that had the greatest positive impact on their confidence to care for an Ebola patient, surveyed trainees most frequently identified: hands-on activities in group (n ¼ 39) or individual settings (n ¼ 28), trained observers (n ¼ 21), instructional videos (n ¼ 11), training in a simulated care area with (n ¼ 10) or without task trainers (n ¼ 8), and using markers for evaluation of self-contamination during PPE doffing (n ¼ 8) ( Table 2 ).	./cache/cord-258504-pnd46ipd.txt	./txt/cord-258504-pnd46ipd.txt
