© 2021 Korean Society of Nursing Science..

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to identify the types of perception toward quarantine measures at hospitals or community treatment centers among patients infected with COVID-19.

METHODS: This study applied Q-methodology. Two hundred and nineteen Q populations were constructed based on related literature and in-depth interviews with 5 adults infected with COVID-19 and who experienced quarantine and hospitalization. Interviews were performed from November 14 to 29, 2020. A total of 45 Q samples were extracted and Q sorting was performed using a 9-point scale for 30 adult subjects who experienced quarantine at hospitals and community treatment centers. The data were analyzed using the PC-QUANL program.

RESULTS: The perception of subjects toward quarantine measures was classified into the following six types: 'passive acceptance', 'social stigma perception', 'appreciation of daily life through awareness of the realities of illness', 'why me?', 'fearful perception', and 'positive meaning'.

CONCLUSION: The perception of quarantine measure among patients with COVID-19 is identified as six types with positive and negative emotional characteristics. This result will contribute to the development of individualized strategies to address psychosocial health problems among patients with infectious diseases.
