Abstract

Background: Since December 2019, a number of new cases of COVID-19 have been found in the city of Wuhan, China. With the rapid increase in the number of infected people, the epidemic has caused a lot of psychological panic to the social residents, especially those  who  are  not  infected  with  COVID-19  hospitalized  patients  in  Wuhan. Objectives: To  understand  and  explore  the true psychological feelings of inpatients during the COVID-19 epidemic, and to provide reference for clinical nursing work .Methods: During the  COVID-19  epidemic  period, 16  patients  admitted  to  abdominal  surgery  conducted  face-to-face  in-depth  interviews  and  used phenomenological analysis to analyze the results .Results: Lack of COVID-19 related knowledge among inpatients during the epidemic period; increased demand for information on treatment and care programmes; and increased need for their own safety and psychological needs  .Conclusions: Medical  staff  should  disseminate  COVID-19  knowledge  to  inpatients, personalized  care  to  improve  patient's hospitalization experience, and give the corresponding emotional and social support.
