This article described the nursing experience of caring a 40-year-old mother with postpartum uterine contractions resulting in postpartum hemorrhage, and then pulmonary edema after infusion treatment. The patient was transferred to an intensive care unit. Due to separation with her newborn baby, the mother was worried about failing to play the role as a mother and thus felt anxious. During the care period from December 18 to 28, 2016, using Gordon's ten functional health patterns as assessment tools, through physical assessment, direct observation, medical history review, gestures expression, lips communication, and meeting with the husband, data were collected and further analyzed. The mother's main problems were identified as the following: loss of body fluid volume, anxiety, and parental role conflict. The author took a family-centered care approach, actively offered additional care, and encouraged the patient write down or use gestures to express her concerns about her husband and baby. Also, flexible schedule was offered for meeting visitors to alleviate anxiety. Other approached include encouraging the patient to use communication software to learn about baby's updated, and shop for baby clothes via online shopping tool to enhance the feeling of maternal role. Finally, through multidisciplinary team meetings and discussions, overall physical and mental care were provided. This clinical practical experience can be shared with nursing colleagues for future references. |
