This paper describes the nursing experience of caring for a patient who did not know that she had developed pancreatic cancer until the current hospitalization and underwent chemotherapy. After learning about the facts of having cancer and needing to receive chemotherapy, the patient felt uncertainty about the prognosis and anxiety about their inability to independently take care of the artificial blood vessels when returning home after their operation. During the nursing period from March 18, 2019, to March 29, 2019, data were collected by observation, interview, direct care, physical assessment, and other methods. In addition, Gordon's 11 functional health patterns were used for an overall evaluation, and the main health problems of pain, preparedness for knowledge improvement, and anxiety were identified. In the process of nursing, we first established a good nurse–patient relationship, used the skills of empathy, listening, and breathing relaxation to relieve pain, provided information on chemotherapy in a timely and proactive manner, and taught the patient nursing skills for working with artificial blood vessels after returning home, which positively enhanced the patient's self-care skills. At the same time, the Beck Anxiety Inventory was used to assess the patient's anxiety level, and the patient was encouraged to express their causes of anxiety and her feelings, so as to reduce their anxiety level, thereby helping the patient adjust to the uncertainty about their prognosis during chemotherapy and improve their self-care ability with regard to caring for artificial blood vessels at home after surgery. It is expected that this nursing experience can provide a reference for nurses in their clinical care in the future. (Cheng Ching Medical Journal 2021; 17(3): 58-66) |
