The purpose of this study was to explore a nurse's experience of caring for a hemodialysis patient with hypertension nephropathy combined with lung edema.In this case, the patient was hospitalized for dyspnea then unexpectedly informed that he will be dependent on hemodialysis from now. The tremendous pressure this put on the patient led to symptoms of denial, fear and anxiety. The nursing period ran from January 26 through to March 15, 2010, and Roy's model was used to gather data when the patient underwent dialysis on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons at the hospital. Data was collected through observation, communication, physical assessment and medical records. The main nursing problems we identified included excess fluid volume, anxiety and deficient knowledge (home care with final-stage renal disease). First, support skills such as caring, empathy and acceptance were used to build a positive relationship between the patient and nurses. For the physical problem of excess fluid volume, individual nursing and medical intervention were used to bring about improvements. The dry body weight between two hemodialysis sessions was kept within a 5% range, the patient provided with related disease information while nursing guidance and a joint support system helped the patient overcome mental stress and reduce his anxiety. Ultimately, the patient came to terms with dialysis and was able to actively administer therapeutic self-care. We hope that this nursing experience will provide a reference for clinical nursing care in the future. |
