Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women of reproductive age. Women diagnosed with breast cancer during pregnancy will face the physical and psychological impact of cancer diagnosis and treatment, and her development of maternal role will also be affected. The purpose of this article was to explore a postpartum nursing experience of a nurse whose early induction of labor was due to breast cancer. The nursing period was from Dec. 18 to 20, 2020. Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns assessment was used as a tool for the nursing assessment. The relevant data were collected through observations, interviews, physical assessments, and reviews of medical records. The major health problems identified included acute pain, anxiety, and impaired parenting. Applying Duffy’s Quality- Caring Model, quality care elements such as“basic human needs”,“mutual problem solving”,“human respect”,“attentive reassurance”, and“encouraging manner”were integrated into the caregiving process. By postpartum care, breast cancer medically related information, and strengthening the family support system, we relieved the patient’s pain of the perineal wound and anxiety caused by worries about postpartum breast cancer treatment and being unable to take care of her son. Through leading the patient to hug the baby, to have skin-to-skin contact and to participate in care, we established the patient’s mother role and self-confidence. Hopefully, this postpartum nursing experience can serve as a reference for health care professionals when caring for such patients. |
