Core Tip	Patients with multidrug-resistant organism infections often undergo protective isolation, which may adversely affect their psychosocial well-being. This study demonstrates that social alienation is prevalent among isolated patients and is moderately negatively correlated with psychological resilience. Lower family visit frequency, prolonged isolation, and lower educational level were associated with higher alienation, while greater tenacity and optimism were protective factors. These findings highlight the importance of integrating resilience-enhancing psychological interventions into the care of patients under protective isolation.
