立體定位放射手術之護理

Stereotactic Radiosurgery Nursing Care

本篇文章描述立體定位放射手術是具有微侵入性且較為安全之放射手術，由於手術預後佳與致死率低，許多病患願意選擇進行放射手術以取代傳統之開顱手術。然而，立體定位放射手術仍有其缺點及副作用存在。因此，護理人員必須了解放射手術之作用機轉、流程與副作用，且藉由提供臨床護理措施使病患能減輕治療前之焦慮、了解手術治療之流程與術後可能發生之副作用，進而增進病患於住院期間與出院後之生活品質。

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a minimally invasive and safe surgical approach. An increasing number of individuals conform to SRS indications and select SRS as a substitute for traditional intracranial surgery. However, SRS still has deficiencies and side effects. Therefore, nurses must understand the mechanisms and side effects of SRS in order to provide appropriate clinical nursing intervention to reduce pre-treatment anxiety, understand SRS procedures and appreciate potential side effects. Such can be expected to improve patient quality of life during hospitalization and after discharge.
