照護一位新冠肺炎病人之護理經驗

A Nursing Experience of Caring a Patient with Coronavirus Disease

本文為描述一位確診新冠肺炎且入住負壓隔離病房接受治療的病人，因面對未知新興傳染病且接受隔離而產生身、心各方面衝擊的護理經驗。照護期間筆者藉由身體評估、觀察及訪談等方式收集資料，運用Gordon 十一項功能性健康型態進行系統性評估，確立個案健康問題包含：「體溫過高」、「感覺及知覺紊亂」及「焦慮」等，並擬定個別性護理計畫，除依醫囑執行醫療處置緩解個案生理不適外，亦發揮護理的獨立功能，提供氣味明顯的食物以促進食慾；另運用手機通訊軟體及電話進行個別會談，持續提供心理支持及協助抒發情緒與瞭解病程變化、減緩個案因罹患新興傳染疾病所面對之未知及承受的身心衝擊，最終個案症狀改善及採檢轉陰後出院，筆者考量因應此新興傳染病尚無明確照護指引，故期望將此經驗分享給臨床護理人員照護類案之參考。

"This article described the nursing experience of caring a patient with coronavirus disease facing physical and mental impacts due to unknown emerging infectious diseases and being isolated. During the nursing period, data were collected via interviewing and physical assessment. Health problems, identified through the assessment tool of Gordon 11 Functional Health Patterns, included: (1) hyperthermia, (2) disturbances in sensory and perception, and (3) anxiety. Individualized nursing care plans were then developed. In addition to medical treatment, the primary nurse provided food with apparent smell to promote the patient’s appetite and used both of the communication software of mobile phone and telephone to provide mental support to help the patient to express emotions and recognize the progress of the illness, and alleviated his physical and mental impacts due to the emerging infectious diseases. The patient finally recovered and was discharged. Since the treatment strategy and caring guidelines of this new infectious disease remain unclear, we anticipate that the experience of this article provides clinical practitioners with a reference for caring similar patients."
