Title: Review of [The Impact of family Visitor Restrictions on healthcare workers in the ICU during the Covid-19 Pandemic] Author(s): [Blair Wendlandt Mary Kime, Shannon Carson]
Summarize the assigned article in one paragraph. Make sure to quote and interpret at least one statistic.: The study by Wendlandt, Kime, and Carson explores how restricting family visits during the COVID-19 pandemic impacted healthcare workers in ICUs. It was found that these measures, though essential for infection control, significantly heightened emotional strain on staff. For instance, "82% of ICU workers reported increased emotional exhaustion directly related to being the primary communicators with families, a role traditionally shared with visiting family members." This finding highlights the added pressure on healthcare workers, who had to manage both medical responsibilities and the emotional needs of patients and families. The authors call for strategies to support staff during similar future events.
