description PURPOSE: This study explored critically ill Muslim patients’ experiences and perceptions related to confinement to isolation rooms. METHODS: The descriptive–interpretive lens of phenomenology was employed to explore and illuminate the isolation experience of critically ill Muslim patients). Semi-structured, face-to-face, audiotaped interviews were conducted . Colaizzi’s method of data analysis, in combination with an interpretive analysis supported by van Manen’s “lifeworld constituents” were used. RESULTS: Data analysis revealed four themes: Feeling isolated and imprisoned; losing basic patients’ rights; feeling rejected by healthcare providers; and accepting isolation and its adversity. Findings were illuminated by applying van Manen’s lifeworld constituents: spatiality, temporality, relationality and corporeality. The patients described the overwhelming impact of isolation on their physical, emotional, social and spiritual health. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides healthcare providers with an in-depth understanding of critically ill patients’ physical, psychological and spiritual needs. Although the unique needs of Muslim patients are highlighted, it is evident that patients’ suffering in isolation is universal. Healthcare providers are encouraged to consider creative measures to support and help patients cope with the adversity of isolation.
