The purpose of project is to explore patients’ comfortable satisfaction toward application of a modified pressurized sand bags for reducing bleeding among hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who received transcatheter arterial embolization. During care of HCC patients, we found that the patients’ complaints and low satisfaction toward using pressurized sand bags after transcatheter arterial embolization. By survey and analysis, our panel found that the causes of low comfortable satisfaction were: lower back pain caused by limited body movement, wound pain, concern about bleeding after falling sand bag, violation of privacy by nursing staff, insufficient verbal health education, and lack of support equipment, etc. The strategies for improving satisfaction were: development of caring instruction sheets after transcatheter arterial embolization, design of pressurized sand bags aids, provision of additional support equipment care position, use of a modified sand bag, use of additional reminder tools, and development of quality control indicators after transcatheter arterial embolization. The outcomes of this project shows the comfortable satisfaction increased from 1.39 to 4.57. It significantly improved the comfortable satisfaction. We expect that the experience of this project and innovative application of assistive devices can serve as a reference of similar cases. |
