This study describes the nursing experience of caring for a post-operative patient with coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The nursing care period was from July 16 to August 10, 2009. Data on medical history were collected by interviews, observation, listening, and medical record review and evaluated according to Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns assessment tool. We found that the patient’s willingness to execute cardiac rehabilitation was influenced by postoperative pain. The patient’s performance was negative and passive. It was confirmed that the patient suffered from nursing problems of acute pain, ineffective breathing patterns, and sense of powerlessness. In the nursing processes, the patient was provided with pain control methods, taught correct deep breathing and coughing skills, and was offered individual progressive cardiac rehabilitation to promote restoration of cardiopulmonary functions. With the encouragement and company of a complete support system, the patient was guided to express negative emotions, enabling the patient to face surgery with a more positive attitude. As a result, the practice further enhanced patient’s sense of self-control, facilitated active participation in the cardiac rehabilitation program, and allowed a smooth entry to the restoration stage. It was hoped that the nursing experience could offer effective postoperative nursing measures, and serve as reference for nursing staff to offer postoperative health care tp patients undergo coronary artery bypass graft surgery. |
