Abstract:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, visitor limitations were implemented in hospitals and long-term-care facilities to prevent transmission of the virus from patients to family members. It is unknown how the context of visitor limitations due to COVID-19 influenced the state of emotions and experiences in family members unable to physically visit their loved ones in person during hospitalization. This article details a study of the perceptions of family members related to being isolated from patients who are hospitalized with confirmed positive COVID-19.
