Nearly 4 million people in the United States are infected with the hepatitis C virus, which already has caused 8,000 to 10,000 deaths annually. The morbidity may increase to 30,000 in the next two decades. Currently, in the nursing and healthcare literature, there is little information regarding the actual experiences of people living with hepatitis C. To help meet that need, I would like to describe my personal experiences with hepatitis C as I transitioned from nurse to patient. This is the story of the beginning of my journey.
美国有近400万人感染了丙型肝炎病毒,该病毒每年已导致8000至10000人死亡。在未来二十年中,发病率可能会增至30000人。目前,在护理和医疗保健文献中,关于丙型肝炎患者实际经历的信息很少。为了满足这一需求,我想讲述一下我从护士转变为患者后感染丙型肝炎的个人经历。这是我旅程开始的故事。
