“…Family concerns, fear, and anxiety increase when the disease leads to hospitalization. In Spain, health services are organized around patients, considering the family as part of the context; they are a resource that provides a solution in caring for their sick relatives (Canga, 2014). During the COVID‐19 pandemic, families could not care for their loved ones.…”

This study aims to describe patients' and family caregivers' hospitalization experiences during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Using qualitative exploratory descriptive methods, thirteen patients admitted to the largest hospital in Barcelona (Spain) due to COVID‐19 were interviewed by telephone once discharged, as were eight primary caregivers. Data were analyzed using the content analysis method proposed by Krippendorff. Two main themes were identified: a) Acceptance of mandatory isolation for patients and family caregivers, which refers to the verbalization of a feeling that justifies the imposed isolation and the need for the use of personal protective equipment by the health team for everyone’s safety, and b) Limited autonomy during hospitalization for patients and family caregivers, which describes participants' perceptions of autonomy during hospitalization. Patients and caregivers experienced feelings of loneliness, which negatively affected their emotional health. In addition, they experienced reduced autonomy due to new habits and routines intended to control the pandemic for public and global health.

“…No podemos olvidar que los hospitales, como contexto organizativo, en su gran mayoría, están principalmente diseñados para facilitar el trabajo a los profesionales que desempeñan sus labores en ellos y no tanto para ayudar a las familias a adaptarse a un ambiente desconocido, el cual pueden percibir como hostil y amenazante, siendo todavía pocos los espacios en los que pueden expresar cómo están tramitando emocionalmente esta difícil experiencia (Davis, Kristjanson y Blight, 2003). Por ello, es fundamental que la familia sea considerada como una unidad básica de soporte, pero también receptora de ayuda y cuidado psicológico (Canga, 2014). En algunos momentos, es la angustia familiar la que no permite captar la información que los médicos les transmiten, teniendo la necesidad de ser también ellos escuchados y expresar libremente sus dificultades y temores.…”
