背景严重急性呼吸综合征（SARS）爆发的影响是巨大的，但很少有研究关注治疗SARS患者的医护人员（HCWs）的感染和总体健康状况。我们前瞻性地评估了SARS流行期间医务人员的一般健康状况。所有医护人员在照顾SARS病人后，以及在自我隔离和下班后4周，立即进行医疗结果研究简表36调查。在这两个时间点对医务人员进行SARS冠状病毒抗体检测，并在SARS疫情期间对对照组进行SARS冠状病毒抗体检测。台北市第三医疗转介中心。90名SARS护理工作组成员（SARS HCWs）和82名对照组。所有血清样本的SARS抗体测试均呈阴性。SARS医护人员护理后即刻的调查得分显著低于对照组（P
Background. The impact of the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome ( SARS) was enormous, but few studies have focused on the infectious and general health status of healthcare workers ( HCWs) who treated patients with SARS.Design. We prospectively evaluated the general health status of HCWs during the SARS epidemic. The Medical Outcome Study Short-Form 36 Survey was given to all HCWs immediately after caring for patients with SARS and 4 weeks after self-quarantine and off-duty shifts. Tests for detection of SARS coronavirus antibody were performed for HCWs at these 2 time points and for control subjects during the SARS epidemic.Setting. Tertiary care referral center in Taipei, Taiwan.Subjects. Ninety SARS-care task force members ( SARS HCWs) and 82 control subjects.Results. All serum specimens tested negative for SARS antibody. Survey scores for SARS HCWs immediately after care were significantly lower than those for the control group (P
