A behavioral observation study of 14 children with cancer treated in a laminar airflow protected environment (PE) unit was done over a period of 2 years. A total of 3629 observations were completed, and results related to perception, sleep, intellectual functioning, physical discomfort, mood, management problems, activity patterns, social-communicative behavior, and sedation are reported. In general, despite evidence from the literature that sensory deprivation and social isolation can cause severe disturbance of the sensory apparatus, no debilitating or long-term psychological effects related to prolonged PE treatment were noted. The differences between PE and deprivation-isolation contexts are discussed, and the need for psychosocial support of these patients is emphasized.
一项针对14名在层流气流保护环境（PE）病房接受治疗的癌症患儿的行为观察研究，历时2年完成。总共完成了3629次观察，并报告了与感知、睡眠、智力功能、身体不适、情绪、管理问题、活动模式、社交沟通行为和镇静相关的结果。总体而言，尽管文献中有证据表明感觉剥夺和社会隔离会导致感觉器官严重紊乱，但未发现与长期PE治疗相关的衰弱或长期心理影响。讨论了PE环境与剥夺-隔离环境之间的差异，并强调了对这些患者提供心理社会支持的必要性。
