英文摘要 |
This report describes a nursing experience of caring for a female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus. The author took care of the patient from October 2 to 9, 2013. Utilizing Giorgi's phenomenological research method, the author conducted two extensive personal interviews with the patient for data collection. Three major themes were outlined based on the patient's body experience: brutal body experiences, ambivalent feelings about steroid and a diseased-cramped body. By sharing this patient's body experience, the author hopes that other nurses may learn not only how to care for their patients' biological body, but also how to better alleviate their patients' suffering. |
