This article describes the experience of assisting a Vietnamese immigrant woman in breastfeeding after her caesarean section. The nursing period was from June 11 to 16, 2012. The Gordon Functional Health Pattern Assessment Tool was used as a guideline for data collection. Through observation, conversation, interviews, and physical assessment, three major problems were identified: pain, a communication barrier, and ineffective breastfeeding. The author, playing the role of both listener and caregiver, assisted the patient in breastfeeding for the first time. Education pamphlets regarding breastfeeding, assistance with breastfeeding, and the arrangement of a post-partum woman who spoke the same language were all provided. Additionally, the author also provided encouragement and support to make the patient interested in breastfeeding. With the family's support and reassurance, the patient adapted well in physiological, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects. The author hopes that this nursing experience can serve as a reference for future clinical personnel who encounter similar cases. |
