To explore the experience of being on quarantine for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) with a focus on the relationship between perceived risk of contracting SARS and reported compliance with the quarantine order and protocols.
Descriptive, qualitative.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with people who had been quarantined during the SARS outbreak in Toronto in 2003. Data analysis was completed using an iterative and collaborative approach of reading and re-reading the transcribed interviews, identifying common themes, and comparing and contrasting the data.
To varying extents, participants wavered between fear and denial about their risk of contracting or spreading SARS. Reported compliance with the actual quarantine order was high. However, within households quarantine protocols were followed unevenly.
This research indicates the need for greater credibility in public health communications to increase compliance with quarantine protocols and to contain outbreaks of new and deadly infectious diseases.
探讨严重急性呼吸综合征（SARS）隔离经历，重点关注感染SARS的感知风险与报告的遵守隔离令及协议情况之间的关系。
描述性、定性研究。
对2003年多伦多SARS疫情期间被隔离者进行半结构化访谈。采用反复阅读转录访谈内容、识别共同主题以及比较和对比数据的迭代协作方法完成数据分析。
在不同程度上，参与者在对感染或传播SARS风险的恐惧与否认之间摇摆不定。报告的遵守实际隔离令情况良好。然而，家庭内部对隔离协议的遵守情况参差不齐。
本研究表明，公共卫生宣传需要更高的可信度，以提高对隔离协议的遵守，并遏制新的致命传染病爆发。
