Strengths and limitations of this study► This review covers a wide variety of the literature from a range of different clinical areas. ► Data collected and the methods of collecting data on the impact of isolation is varied across studies. ► These data do not show if these effects are temporary, or in most cases if they are clinically significant. AbStrACtObjective To systematically review the literature exploring the impact of isolation on hospitalised patients who are infectious: psychological and non-psychological outcomes.Design Systematic review with meta-analysis. Data sources Embase, Medline and PsycINFO were searched from inception until December 2018. Reference lists and Google Scholar were also handsearched.results Twenty-six papers published from database inception to December 2018 were reviewed. A wide range of psychological and non-psychological outcomes were reported. There was a marked trend for isolated patients to exhibit higher levels of depression, the pooled standardised mean difference being 1.28 (95% CI 0.47 to 2.09) and anxiety 1.45 (95% CI 0.56 to 2.34), although both had high levels of heterogeneity, and worse outcomes for a range of care-related factors but with significant variation.Conclusion The review indicates that isolation to contain the risk of infection has negative consequences for segregated patients. Although strength of the evidence is weak, comprising primarily single-centre convenience samples, consistency of the effects may strengthen this conclusion. More research needs to be undertaken to examine this relationship and develop and test interventions to reduce the negative effects of isolation.

[47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] Among inpatients at 3 general hospitals, patients on CP had higher Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale scores (12.8 vs 8.2; P < .001). 51 For patients on a spinal cord injury rehabilitation unit, those on CP had higher Beck Depression Inventory scale scores (16.5 vs 12.3; P = NS).…”

“…Adverse effects such as anxiety, depression, mood disturbance and reduced quality of life have been highlighted in the literature (Cookson, 1997;Tarzi et al, 2001;Davies and Rees, 2000) and anecdotal reports made of indirect effects such as denial of access to physiotherapy and occupational therapy resulting in delayed independence (Tyler, 1997).…”

his qualitative study follows previous research on how meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) affects patients as reported by healthcare workers. The aim of this study was to research the phenomenon of being colonised with MRSA from the patient's perspective. A total of 14 patients were interviewed following discharge from hospital, transcripts were then analysed using an interpretive phenomenological approach. The key findings are reported under the four themes of information provision, patient understanding, lived experience and information needs. Poor information provision was a key theme, experienced by many patients. This resulted in some patients feeling confused and often anxious, and for some affected their lives both in and out of hospital. Providing good quality and reassuring information appropriate to the patient and their current condition is key to improving understanding, deflecting the impact of the media and reducing significance of this symptom-free state. Recommendations for practice include enhanced training for healthcare workers on how to address sensitively the patient's information needs and reduce unnecessary confusion and distress.
