The aim of this study was to explore how patients with neurological disease experienced a COVID-19 visitor ban and to identify ways of improving the quality of care.
In March 2020, a temporary visitor ban was introduced in Danish hospitals to reduce the spread of COVID-19. This led to changes in clinical practice, leaving patients without their loved ones beside them. Since neurological patients are already considered vulnerable due to physical, and sometimes cognitive impairment, we urgently wished to investigate these circumstances to facilitate appropriate support.
This study was conducted using a qualitative explorative design.
Fourteen patients with neurological disease were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide. Data were analysed through inductive thematic analysis.
For most patients, being hospitalized during the COVID-19 visitor ban was a painful experience with the potential to negatively influence both their mental and physical health.
本研究旨在探讨患有神经疾病的患者如何体验 COVID-19 访客禁令，并确定改善护理质量的方法。
2020 年 3 月，丹麦的医院引入了临时访客禁令，以减少 COVID-19 的传播。这导致了临床实践的改变，使患者身边没有亲人。由于神经疾病患者已经因身体上的，有时是认知上的障碍而被认为是脆弱的，因此我们迫切希望调查这些情况，以提供适当的支持。
本研究采用定性探索性设计。
使用半结构化访谈指南对 14 名患有神经疾病的患者进行了访谈。通过归纳主题分析对数据进行了分析。
对于大多数患者来说，在 COVID-19 访客禁令期间住院是一种痛苦的经历，有可能对他们的身心健康产生负面影响。
