This report described the nursing process of a twins primipara woman with preterm uterine contraction during the twenty-first week of pregnancy. With the Gordon's 11-item functional health pattern assessment tool, data was collected through case interview and observation from April 1 to May 29, 2007. Four nursing problems were identified: situational low confidence, anxiety, elimination change, and sleep disturbance. The author established a trusting relationship with the patient, encouraged the patient's emotional expression, and enhanced the patient's confidence by respecting personal values. In order to ensure the mother and babies' safety and health, the pediatric team provided information, strengthened the support system by introducing a successful case, and explained the patient's condition to relieve her anxiety. Moreover, the author arranged a private environment for patient's bowel movement, and kept a comfortable and quiet room for patient's sleep. From this nursing experience, the author realized that nurses are not only caregivers but also important supporters and consultants. With empathy, acceptance, and sincerity, the nurses can provide continuous caring for and support to the patient with tocolysis. |
