Abstract
in English, German

Visitation restrictions in hospitals during the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic led to great psychological burden for patients, their relatives and employees. For hospitals, they represent a complex organizational challenge with respect to ethics. The present recommendations are intended to support decision-making at the meso- and microlevels.

Zutrittsbeschränkungen in Krankenhäusern in der COVID-19-Pandemie führen zu großen Belastungen bei Patienten/‑innen, ihren Angehörigen und Mitarbeitenden. Für die Kliniken stellen sie eine komplexe organisationsethische Herausforderung dar. Die vorliegenden prozeduralen Empfehlungen sollen die Entscheidungsfindung auf Meso- und Mikroebene unterstützen.
