This case report is a nursing experience in caring for a rectal cancer patient with a permanent colostomy. The duration of nursing care was from May 19 to June 6, 2011. The Gordon function health assessment guide was used to assess the nursing problems. Based on clinical data collected from observation, listening, conversation and physical examination, we found that the health problems were: anxiety, acute pain, special knowledge impairment and disturbance of body image. After preoperative physician's explanation, the anxiety caused by operation and postoperative care was reduced; the wound pain was also relieved by postoperative pain control and nursing intervention. In addition, we taught the case how to care for the colostomy at home and helped the case accept the change in physical appearance via clinical explanation, manipulation and sharing from other patients. Now, the case could not only independently clean and change the colostomy, but also began to participate in a friend's party as well as reentering the community. From this successful experience in holistic nursing, the use of the appropriate teaching models can increase learning effect, and help the case accept the change in body image. |
