Core Tip |
Disconnection from the outside world, being away from familiar people, items and routines, anxiety related to uncertainties, fear of stigmatization as well as challenges in communication are stressors for those isolated due to coronavirus disease 2019. Though not possible to eliminate these stressors, there are ways to mediate. The use of technology has shown to be particularly useful to enhance communication between staff and patients, provide entertainment and information as well as to facilitate communication between patients and their loved ones. With such benefits, the use of technology should be leveraged on where possible. |
