This paper describes the nursing experience of caring for a 21-year-old male student diagnosed with end-stage renal disease. Due to the necessity of long-term dialysis and difficulty accepting his diagnosis, the patient developed an adjustment disorder. The nursing care period lasted from February 3 to February 21, 2020. Through physical evaluations, meetings, observations, and medical record reviews, three primary health problems were identified by applying Roche's adaptation theory for data collection: excessive body fluid volume, lack of knowledge, and adjustment disorder. To address these issues, care included food hygiene education supported by smartphone applications, multimedia CD-ROMs, and interactive teaching methods. These interventions effectively alleviated discomfort from excess fluid and improved the patient's self-care capabilities. For the adjustment disorder, collaboration with psychological counselors helped enhance the patient's self-confidence, sense of hope, and belonging to peer groups. Active care strategies, such as encouraging the expression of feelings, listening with empathy, clarifying misconceptions, enhancing family support, and involving the patient in treatment decisions, facilitated positive psychological adjustment and life adaptation. Interaction with other young kidney patients also provided valuable support. However, upon returning to school, the patient faced challenges in maintaining continuous self-health management. Overall, it is recommended that case managers remind patients to attend regular follow-up clinics and discuss the potential for kidney transplantation to ensure comprehensive ongoing care for the patient. Sharing this experience aims to serve as a reference for managing similar nursing cases in the future. |
