Abstract: Objectives: Analyze the factors associated with inadequate white coat handling practices among health care workers. Methods: Observational cross-sectional study conducted in a hospital located in the Central-West region of Brazil. Participants were 103 health care workers who provided direct care in the admissions ward of the Medical Clinic and wore white coats when treating patients. Univariate analysis was performed and variables with a value of p<0.10 were included in the Poisson regression model. Results: Inadequate practices related to how often white coats were changed were associated with male medical doctors and those from other fields, such as nutritionists, physiotherapists, dental surgeons, psychologists, speech therapists, who have been practicing for less time and reported inappropriate transport practices (p<0.01). Inadequate transport practices were interrelated with unsatisfactory behavior in terms of how often coats were changed and being a medical doctor (p<0.01).......
