Conclusions
INFECTIOUS DISEASES
In isolated settings, the time-use intervention improved occupational balance, mental health, and QOL. The isolated environment has had a negative impact on the occupational balance, mental health, and quality of life of patients with COVID-19. In addition, mental health problems can be long-term. Therefore, time-use interventions are needed during the hospitalization period in patients with infectious diseases. This study has clinical significance because it provides an evidence-based intervention that can be applied to isolated patients.
