We describe a 31-year-old man diagnosed with the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) after returning to Taiwan from a business trip and hospitalized in quarantine between March 9, 2020 and April 27, 2020. We used Watson’s humanistic-altruistic theory as a framework to collect data on anxiety, social isolation, and sensory and perceptual changes through remote monitors, telephone or video software sessions, medical record retrospectives, and collaboration with the interdisciplinary care team to conduct a holistic care assessment. Healthcare providers must minimize direct contact time when caring for such patients. We used the video communication software LINE to increase the time spent with patients to facilitate psychosocial evaluation and face-to-face interaction, which improve anxiety and social isolation in patients. To prevent patients from assuming that their feelings are not valued, the professional and human resources of the interdisciplinary medical team were used to enhance patient care, listen and tend to the patient, and discuss disease treatment with them, providing individual and specific care measures as well as more professional information to address their healthcare concerns and enhance their quality of life. This is a novel experience in the care of COVID-19 patients, and as the pandemic is ongoing, we share this experience to provide reference for clinical nursing practitioners. |
