"This article described a nursing experience of applying Watson’s theory in caring a repeatedlyhospitalized bipolar disorder patient to enhance stress coping skills and self-caring ability. The patient’s information was collected during the nursing period from November 25 to December 16, 2019 by interviews, observation, and comprehensive nursing assessments. Three major health problems included:“disturbed sleep patterns”,“attempting to be aggressive”, and“ineffective coping skills”. We built a therapeutic nurse-client relationship based on Watson’s theory of human caring and provided the humanistic caring to accept and respect the patient. When the patient attempted to be violent, the author not only promoted and accepted the patient’s expression of positive and negative feeling, but also provided supportive and corrective environment to ensure the patient’s safety. In order to solve the problem of disturbed sleep patterns, we adopted systematic and scientific problem-solving method, such as providing some nursing information to induce falling asleep and administering sleeping medication if the patient needed. In addition, by cultivating the sensitivity to self and to others, the patient was encouraged to distinguish the proper behavior. These approaches allowed us to use the shared-decision making method to assist the patient’s self-management and reconstruct her goal of life after discharge. We wish the patient would not experience any relapse after our humanistic nursing interventions and hope the article provide medical staff with a reference for caring repeatedly-hospitalized manic bipolar disorder patients." |
