目的：探讨严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)患者的隔离经验，重点探讨SARS患者感知感染SARS的风险与报告遵守隔离命令和规程的关系。设计：描述性、定性。方法：对2003年多伦多SARS暴发期间被隔离的人员进行半结构式访谈。数据分析使用迭代和协作的方法完成，包括阅读和重新阅读转录的采访，确定共同的主题，以及比较和对比数据。结果：参与者在不同程度上在害怕和否认他们感染或传播SARS的风险之间摇摆不定。据报道，实际检疫命令的遵从率很高。然而，家庭内部对隔离协议的遵守并不均衡。结论：本研究表明，需要在公共卫生沟通中提高公信力，以提高对隔离协议的遵从性，并遏制新发和致命传染病的爆发。
Purpose: To explore the experience of being on quarantine for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) with a focus on the relationship between perceived risk of contracting SARS and reported compliance with the quarantine order and protocols.Design: Descriptive, qualitative.Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with people who had been quarantined during the SARS outbreak in Toronto in 2003. Data analysis was completed using an iterative and collaborative approach of reading and re-reading the transcribed interviews, identifying common themes, and comparing and contrasting the data.Findings: To varying extents, participants wavered between fear and denial about their risk of contracting or spreading SARS. Reported compliance with the actual quarantine order was high. However, within households quarantine protocols were followed unevenly.Conclusions: This research indicates the need for greater credibility in public health communications to increase compliance with quarantine protocols and to contain outbreaks of new and deadly infectious diseases.
