英文摘要 |
The purpose of this case report is to present how a lead nurse used preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative nursing care for a patient who had cervical-intraepithelial-neoplasia which required laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH). The author applied persistent caring, listening and empathy to encourage the patient to express her feelings and to cope with the consequences of operation, such as anxiety caused by lack of understanding of the operation procedure, prevention of electric burn injury caused by using electrocauterization and lithotomy, prevention of aspiration pneumonia by general-anesthesia, body-image change, and mental distress arising out of the laparocopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy procedure. By providing her and her husband with information about the disease type, complications and prognosis, and the pre-operative, perioperative and post-operative nursing care during the hospitalization period, they recognized and accepted all necessary treatment, examinations, and operation procedures for treating the disease. After the LAVH procedure, the patient and her spouse re-recognized the importance of family support, the value of health, and the meaning of life. |
