SARS Prevention and Nursing in Traditional Chinese Medicine

本文主旨以三段五級的預防觀念，從傳統中醫觀點談嚴重急性呼吸道症候群（Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome；SARS）的防護，針對中醫在預防及康復方面的長處，著重SARS的第一段及第三段預防，提出中醫防護措施，包括生活起居護理、膳食護理、按摩護理、適當活動及情志護理等，供護理人員預防及照顧SARS病患之參考，以期增加護理人員“抗煞”知能。

This study adopts the concept of the three levels of prevention from traditional Chinese medicine to discuss Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) prevention and nursing. The emphasis in traditional Chinese medicine is on primary and tertiary prevention. The study presents nursing interventions based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including daily care, diets, massage care, exercise, and Chinese psychosocial care. This course of interventions is designed for the consideration of nurses caring for SARS patients and to bolster their ability to fight the disease.
