Barrier Nursing is a largely archaic term for a set of stringent infection control techniques used in nursing. The aim is to protect medical staff against infection by patients and protect patients with highly infectious diseases from spreading their pathogens to other non-infected people.
Barrier Nursing is a means to maximise isolation care. It’s impossible to isolate from society and medical staff while providing care, meaning compromises are made when treating infectious patients. Barrier Nursing is a method to regulate and minimise the number and severity of compromises made in isolation care while preventing the disease from spreading.
