- COVID-19 is one of the viruses that can cause respiratory tract infections in humans ranging from coughs and colds to more dying problems, such as MERS and SARS. The hospital is one of the means of transmission for other people so that it becomes a special concern in the application of the use of PPE. The use of PPE correctly or according to established standards can minimize the risk of transmission rates. However, there are still some health workers who are categorized as lacking in the proper use of PPE. The purpose of this study is to find out what factors can affect nurses' noncompliance in using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The method used in this study is a systematic review through a review of journals or articles accessed from internet database searches. PubMed, Ebsco and Google scholar. This study analyzed 10 international articles that were selected based on the criteria of the PRISMA protocol. The results obtained are that many health workers do not comply with the use of PPE. In the results of a literature review of 10 articles, it is known that there are many factors that influence a nurse's non-compliance in using PPE, one of which is the most dominant being knowledge of the use of PPE according to standards which is still minimal due to lack of special training in the use of PPE during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is also evidenced by research which shows that there are still many health workers who remove PPE incorrectly or not according to applicable SOP standards, so special training and strict supervision of health workers are needed. Increased knowledge can increase the level of nurse compliance with the use of personal protective equipment
