Emotional distress in female patients with hospital-acquired infections - Nilton Formiga - Bog

Hospital-acquired infections are those acquired after a patient is admitted to hospital and which manifest themselves during hospitalisation or after discharge, and may be related to hospitalisation or hospital procedures. When seeking care in a hospital, the expectation is that this service will offer comprehensive care, with material and technical resources, and qualified staff capable of continuous care, which not only cures, but also contributes to emotional support and stress inhibition for patients.
