This study examined qualitative comments from an online survey of nurses' perceptions regarding care of persons under investigation and patients with confirmed Ebola virus disease (EVD) in the United States.
Additional insight into nurses' perceptions regarding EVD was warranted.
Survey design used convenience sampling of RNs, licensed practical nurses, and nurse technicians, who responded to 8 open-ended survey questions.
Most respondents (618/966 [64.0%]) provided comments. The top 5 of the 13 primary themes were lack of preparedness/readiness; training, education, and improved communications needed; fear of EVD transmission; lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) and infection prevention; and nurses not treated professionally.
Noting multiple concerns, most respondents reported that EVD care could be most safely provided when all parties involved are prepared and when nurses are educated and trained in evidence-driven practices with appropriate PPE and infection control procedures.
本研究调查了一项在线调查中的定性评论，该调查涉及美国护士对正在接受调查的人员以及确诊埃博拉病毒病（EVD）患者护理的看法。
有必要进一步深入了解护士对埃博拉病毒病的看法。
调查设计采用便利抽样法，对注册护士、执业护士和护士技术员进行调查，他们回答了8个开放式调查问题。
大多数受访者（618/966 [64.0%]）提供了评论。13个主要主题中排名前5的是准备不足/未做好准备；需要培训、教育和改善沟通；担心埃博拉病毒病传播；缺乏个人防护装备（PPE）和感染预防措施；以及护士未得到专业对待。
注意到多个问题，大多数受访者报告称，当所有相关方都做好准备，并且护士接受了基于证据的实践培训并配备适当的个人防护装备和感染控制程序时，埃博拉病毒病护理可以最安全地提供。
