"This article discussed the emergency nursing experience of caring a young man suffering from acute myocardial infarction. Because of the unexpected threat of the critical disease which was unacceptable, the man constantly revealed his worry and anxiety about the treatment during the conversation. Also, he worried about his future and becoming the burden of his family. The nursing period was from March 21 to 23, 2019. The author collected relevant data by direct care, physical assessment, observation, and interviews. We used Gordon's 11 Function Health Patterns as the evaluative framework to analyze subjective and objective assessment, and to confirm that the patient had three health problems: 'Decreased cardiac output', 'Pain', and 'Anxiety'. In the emergency department, in addition to providing medical care to stabilize vital signs and reduce physical discomfort, the nursing profession encouraged patients to state their feelings and anxiety through listening and empathy. We accompanied the patient through the acute phase of disease in the emergency department, allowing him face the disease and receive treatment with an active and positive attitude. In addition to critical care of acute myocardial infarction, nursing staff in emergent department should also possess evaluation and communication skills. It is recommended to invite psychologists and nutritionists to participate in interprofessional training courses to reinforce the abilities of psychological evaluation, application of caring skills, and dietary health education. With all these, we aim to provide optimal nursing care and health education to improve the quality of care and to achieve the goal of holistic health care." |
