Subthemes | Participant comments |
|---|---|
Sharing a room with patients on isolation | “Sometimes they put people in gowns and [they] have these things that shouldn’t be transmitted to other people. They put them in with people that don’t have that and they, they say that’s a good enough divide.” (P21) |
Roommates perceived to be threatening | “Yeah, like the people they put me in a room here, the last time I was in the hospital they put me in a room with a guy that wasn’t all there and it scared me … finally I made myself get up … and went to sleep in those chairs over there.” (P5) |
Lack of cleanliness | “It’s not very clean in here for being a hospital … how can you get good, safe health when the insides of the rooms look like hell.” (P6) |
Other patients and visitors | “… Like after dark I won’t go outside out here. Unless I have somebody with me or whatever. Cause there’s too much riffraff...” (P18, family member) |
