在全球范围内，长期护理 (LTC) 之家受到 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 大流行的严重影响。 COVID-19 对 LTC 居民的重大风险导致对 LTC 探视实施重大公共卫生限制。本文根据加拿大艾伯塔省 10 家持续护理院的经验，介绍了在 COVID-19 大流行期间促进 LTC 居民与其亲人之间的社会联系的重要考虑因素。重要的考虑因素包括：技术、物理空间、人力资源需求、日程安排和组织以及感染预防和控制。我们描述了在实施视频和电话访问、窗口访问和户外亲自访问等替代访问方法时遇到的一些挑战，并分享了在 LTC 内管理这一新流程的几种策略和方法。
Worldwide, long-term care (LTC) homes have been heavily impacted by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The significant risk of COVID-19 to LTC residents has resulted in major public health restrictions placed on LTC visitation. This article describes the important considerations for the facilitation of social connections between LTC residents and their loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic, based on the experiences of 10 continuing care homes in Alberta, Canada. Important considerations include: technology, physical space, human resource requirements, scheduling and organization, and infection prevention and control. We describe some of the challenges encountered when implementing alternative visit approaches such as video and phone visits, window visits and outdoor in-person visits, and share several strategies and approaches to managing this new process within LTC.
