To examine the psychosocial effects on health care workers of being quarantined because of exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
We used semistructured qualitative interviews.
We identified 3 major themes concerning psychosocial effects: loss, duty, and conflict.
Quarantined workers experienced stigma, fear, and frustration. We highlight the need for clear and easily accessible information on dealing with infectious diseases. Practical advice on coping and stress management techniques for health care workers are needed in preparation for potential future outbreaks of infectious diseases.
探讨因接触严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)而被隔离对医护人员产生的心理社会影响。
我们采用了半结构化定性访谈。
我们确定了有关心理社会影响的3个主要主题:损失、职责和冲突。
被隔离的工作人员经历了耻辱感、恐惧和挫败感。我们强调需要提供关于应对传染病的清晰且易于获取的信息。为应对未来可能爆发的传染病,需要为医护人员提供应对及压力管理技巧方面的实用建议。
