A locus group study of 8 nurses was conducted at a Medical Center in Middle Taiwan explore the experiences and coping behaviors of caring for a child with suspected SARS. The contents of discussion were tape recorded and transcribed. The analysis revealed six themes of experience: (1) frightened of being, infected; (2) lacking in specialized SARS caring experience; (3) wearing heavy protective clothing; (4) proclaiming the panic which was induced by the media; (5) being stigmatized as a source of infection; (6) shouldering the professional responsibility. Six themes of coping behaviors were: (1) to maintain distance. from the patients: (2) to set a standard care flow (3) to suppress physiology demand: (4) to isolate themselves from stressful information and people; (5) to conceal from their family their working with SARS patients; (6) to accept fate.. The results provided nurses with experiences and coping behaviors of caring for a suspected SARS patient and enhanced their abilities of caring for similar patients in the future.
