Although previous studies have shown that some patients, when nursed in isolation for infection control purposes, experience negative emotional effects, little research has been published which suggests what healthcare professionals can do to prevent or reduce these effects. A study was therefore carried out involving 21 patients being nursed in isolation who completed questionnaires. Five patients with negative experiences of isolation were then interviewed about the reasons for feeling the way they did and what they felt could be done to reduce or prevent negative emotions. Recommendations made from the research include the provision of written and individualized information, improved communication from medical staff, provision of a common room and better facilities to relieve boredom. Further large scale research is needed to investigate strategies to improve the isolation experience.
尽管先前的研究表明，一些患者出于感染控制目的而被隔离护理时会产生负面情绪影响，但很少有研究表明医护人员可以采取什么措施来预防或减少这些影响。因此，开展了一项研究，涉及21名正在接受隔离护理的患者，他们完成了问卷调查。随后，对5名有隔离负面经历的患者进行了访谈，询问他们产生这种感受的原因以及他们认为可以采取什么措施来减少或预防负面情绪。该研究提出的建议包括提供书面的个性化信息、改善医护人员的沟通、提供公共活动室以及更好的设施以缓解无聊。需要进一步开展大规模研究来调查改善隔离体验的策略。
