Abstract: Objectives To explore the psychological states of chronic hepatitis B(CHB)patients during family disinfection and isolation:a qualitative study.Method Using random sampling,10 CHB patients from the Eighth People’s Hospital of Guangzhou during Sep 2012 and Feb 2013 were selected for the investigation by way of semi-structured in-depth interviews.Results Ten patients participated in the interview and five themes were extracted:1)no special mental burden because CHB patients believed they should conduct family disinfection and isolation;2)group psychology for their lack of knowledge;3)suspecting the effect of disinfection and isolation;4)worrying about involving their families because of guilty;5)feeling isolated,self-abased,sensitive and longing for being accepted and understood.Conclusions The psychological states are complex during disinfection and isolation.So,a feasible domestic disinfection and isolation plan should be worked out.Meanwhile,enhanced mental guidance and family supports are essential for them to get rid of worries and adapt themselves into family disinfection and isolation.
