The current descriptive qualitative study aimed to explore how informal caregivers of persons residing in long-term care (LTC) facilities are coping with the no visitation policy during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Semi-structured interviews were conducted approximately 1 month after the no visitation policy was implemented. Interview questions explored how informal caregivers are feeling, coping, and staying connected and involved with loved ones residing in LTC. Recruitment ( = 14) occurred through social media, email, and word of mouth. To maintain social distance and reduce transmission risk, interviews were conducted by phone. Through systematic data reduction, six themes emerged: (a) , (b) , (c) , (d) , (e) , and (f) . Results of this study may assist LTC administrators and nurses if no visitation policies are required in the future. [(12), 19-26.].
本描述性定性研究旨在探讨长期护理（LTC）设施中居住者的非探视政策期间，其非正式照护者如何应对 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行。在实施非探视政策大约一个月后进行了半结构化访谈。访谈问题探讨了非正式照护者的感受、应对方式，以及与居住在 LTC 中的亲人保持联系和参与的方式。通过社交媒体、电子邮件和口口相传进行招募（n = 14）。为了保持社交距离并降低传播风险，通过电话进行了访谈。通过系统的数据缩减，出现了六个主题：（a），（b），（c），（d），（e）和（f）。如果将来需要非探视政策，本研究的结果可能会为 LTC 管理人员和护士提供帮助。[（12），19-26]。
