因應新冠肺炎疫情大流行，臺灣政府對境外移入的國外旅遊者和返國入境者採取防疫管制措施。本研究探索一人一室居家隔離的多方面向，其中，特別研究的面向在於，境外移入者在入境台灣時，須配合至少兩週居家隔離的措施，其帶來的負面影響。在2021年11月至2021年12月期間，本研究共進行11次訪談，以探究受訪者在2019年3月至2021年10 月期間完成隔離後，對於這項防疫議題的想法。因每位受訪者的訪談主題不同，訪談結果會因而有異，其中有三項訪談議題，對於每位訪談者的居家隔離適應力似乎最有幫助，分別是：「能在家隔離」、「陽光充足」和「找事做讓自己忙碌」。其中有訪談者表明，為了盡量降低因居家隔離而造成心理、身體和經濟的損害，應該讓隔離者在家中進行居家隔離，並且隔離時間越短越好。讓每個隔離者的居家隔離時間盡可能限制到越短時間，及日常生活活動的改變越少，將盡可能減少每個負面影響。

With the precautions put upon international travel and immigration due to the Covid-19 pandemic this paper investigates many of the aspects of individual quarantining. In particular the negative aspects that arose from the minimum two week isolation that travelers undertook while entering Taiwan. Eleven interviews were undertaken between November and December of 2021 in the evaluation of this topic with the interviewees completing their quarantine between March 2019 and October 2021. Individual results varied by interview subject but themes of being able to quarantine at home, having ample sunlight, and keeping themselves busy seemed to help the most with the adjustment to isolation of the individuals. It is argued that to minimize the psychological, physical, and economic damage of future quarantine isolations they should be conducted at home and be as short as possible. Limiting the length of restrictions on the individual’s lifestyle to as little time as possible as well as the changes to the normal day to day activities will minimize each of the negative aspects as much as possible.
