In this article I discuss the effects on the patient experience of isolation nursing during the CoronaVirus Disease (COVID)-19 pandemic. An unintended consequence of isolation nursing has been to distance patients from nurses and emphasise the technical side of nursing while at the same time reducing the relational or affective potential of nursing. Such distanced forms of nursing normalise the distal patient in hospital. I consider ways in which this new form of distanced nursing has unwittingly contributed to the continued commodification of nursing care in the British NHS. Autoethnography is used to describe and reflect on the illness experience, the experiences of caregivers and the sociocultural organisation of health care. The findings discuss three areas of the illness experience: intimate nursing care; communication; the 'distanced' patient experience.
在本文中,我讨论了在冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间隔离护理对患者体验的影响。隔离护理的一个意外后果是使患者与护士疏远,并强调护理的技术方面,同时降低护理的关系或情感潜力。这种疏远的护理形式使医院中的远程患者变得正常化。我考虑了这种新形式的远程护理是如何在不知不觉中促成英国国民保健制度中护理服务的持续商品化。运用自传体民族志来描述和反思疾病体验、护理人员的经验以及医疗保健的社会文化组织。研究结果讨论了疾病体验的三个方面:亲密护理、沟通、“疏远”的患者体验。
