To address controversies surrounding contact isolation precautions in skilled nursing facilities (SNF), we surveyed 356 nurses and nurses' aides from 7 SNFs on their opinions regarding benefits and harms of contact isolation precautions. Whereas a majority of health care workers believed that contact isolation reduces transmission of antibiotic-resistant organisms, they were also concerned about potentially harmful consequences to the SNF residents including depression and isolation.
为了解决在熟练护理机构(SNF)中接触隔离预防措施存在的争议,我们调查了来自 7 家 SNF 的 356 名护士和护士助理,了解他们对接触隔离预防措施的益处和危害的看法。尽管大多数医护人员认为接触隔离可以减少抗生素耐药菌的传播,但他们也担心这对 SNF 居民可能产生潜在的有害后果,包括抑郁和隔离。
