Personal protective equipment used to provide protection to healthcare workers during the pandemic was impacted by shortages in supply and side effects from use. The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence of personal protective equipment (PPE) side effects experienced by healthcare workers in France, including access to, use of PPE, and PPE training. A cross‐sectional descriptive survey was used. Reporting followed the STROBE statement. Three hundred and forty‐six participants completed the survey. Most were female (41.2%), nurses (59.7%) and aged between 31 and 45 years old. Surgical masks were associated with side effects (54.6%), including acne (24.05%), pressure injuries (26.49%) and burning/pain (7.62%). N95 respirator use was associated with side effects (30.43%), of acne (11.88%) and abrasions (11.88%). Side effects were most frequently reported by female participants and those working in COVID‐19 areas. The side effects caused by PPE use and the impact this has on healthcare workers cannot be underestimated. Findings in this study identify the need to develop preventative measures to reduce side effects and improve patient interactions.
