This article explores the application of health literacy concepts in caring for a 65-year-old male patient with pulmonary obstruction from August 28, 2020, to September 4, 2020. Employing a holistic nursing assessment framework, the study utilized physical assessments, communication techniques, interviews, and chart reviews to gather data and establish a therapeutic nurse-patient relationship. Major health issues identified included inefficient breathing patterns, anxiety, and ineffective self-health management. Nursing interventions focused on teaching pursed-lip breathing, relaxation techniques, and effective coughing to improve breathing efficiency. Active listening and empathy helped uncover the patient's anxiety triggers, particularly related to breath control. The patient was guided to use a selfassessment scale to monitor daily breathing and identify strategies to address breathlessness risk factors, leading to reduced hospitalization frequency and decreased anxiety over three months. Utilizing health literacy principles, the patient accessed visual aids depicting precautions for pulmonary obstruction and instructions for lung recovery exercises to enhance self-management skills. Recognizing the impact of health literacy on disease awareness and education outcomes, the study recommends pre-assessment of patients' health literacy levels to tailor education methods and tools accordingly, thereby optimizing treatment effectiveness. |
