The aim of this case report is to describe the nursing experience of applying Roy’s adaptation model to care for a child with Pierre Robin’s syndrome and recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding. This 2-year and 5 months old girl suffered from severe mandibular retrognathism, backward tongue position and airway obstruction. Her mother had a complex marital relationship and poor economic status. The child was placed in a nursing home by the Social Welfare Bureau. She revealed minor developmental retardation, received tracheostomy and required a long-term indwelling nasogastric tube. As a result, she had more than a year’s history of repeated extrications of the nasogastric tube and recurrent upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding. We applied Roy’s adaptation model at a pediatric intensive care ward to assess and collect data through physical observation, direct care, and telephone interviews with her mother from January 1 to 23, 2012. Her main health problems included ineffective airway clearance, infection, pain, risk of trauma and alternation of parent-child function. Employing close observation, listening, empathy and active care, interventions were used to provide individualized care, including drawing pictures, making ornaments, listening to music and scribbling to alleviate the fear of hospital care. After explaining to her mother about the need for agastric stoma operation of by the medical team with a social worker, her mother signed the consent form and the gastric stoma surgery was carried out. After the operation, the child’s nutrition intake was improved and pulling of the N-G tube was avoided. The nutritional status and related health problems were resolved, and the child was comfortably discharged to the nursing home. By sharing the nursing process of caring for a child with Pierre Robin’s syndrome, we hope to provide nursing staff caring for children with Pierre Robin’s syndrome in the future with an example. |
