In this article, we detail our nursing experiences using a case management model to care for a female adolescent with cleft lip and cleft palate who underwent orthognathic surgery. This comprehensive care spanned outpatient clinic visits, hospitalization, home recuperation, and subsequent follow-up from August 10, 2020, to September 7, 2020. Employing Roy's adaptation model theory as our nursing assessment framework, we collected data through observation, interviews, physical assessments, and telephone interviews. The results confirmed several health issues, including anxiety, tissue defects, and undernutrition. We, as authors, exemplified the integrated and coordinated functions of a craniofacial case manager. Initially, we established a therapeutic interpersonal relationship with the patient, identified problems, provided feedback to the team, and actively participated in discussions to address these issues. We guided the patient in medical shared decision-making with an empowerment-oriented approach and facilitated self-care education using multimedia online audio-visual teaching materials and mobile apps. We advocate for nursing specialists to assist adolescents with cleft lip and palate in participating in shared medical decision-making processes to promote their medical autonomy, enhance self-concept, and improve self-control. Through sharing our nursing experiences, we aim to provide valuable references for future case management initiatives in similar cases. |
