Abstract

Session presented on Sunday, September 18, 2016:

The main objective of this research review was to explore the lived experiences of patients under source contact isolation precautions and the perceptions and suggestions of healthcare workers interacting with patients under source isolation conditions. Patients and healthcare workers were interviewed over a period of time that allowed for the elaboration of personal feelings and perceptions to be articulated. The general consensus for both groups was deemed negative and the researchers were able to determine that one of the contributing factors was a lack of guiding knowledge in the form of an evidence based guideline or protocol.
